KIXE would like to keep a list of all the times non-PBS programs on TV mention something about the PBS programs we all love. We need your help to do it. Please, email us with information concerning any mention of a PBS show you happen to see while watching non-PBS programming on TV. We will of course forgive the temporary lapse in judgment that took you away from the superior programming on KIXE, and any Rated G mentions of PBS programming will be added to our list as they are processed. Please limit the details given in your emails to a short description of the show, the way PBS or a PBS program or character was mentioned and the time at which the show aired. The Following is a beginning to the list.
