And having gone back and looked at all the previous contets in this tournament, I was heartbroken that Rescue Rangers didn't make it. I obsessively watched it every day after school when I was 6-7 years old.

Gummi bears win (44)Sesame Street Premiered: November 10, 1969Sesame Street is a widely recognized and perpetually daring experiment in educational children's programming. This show has taken popular-culture and turned it upside-down. The fastpaced advertisements that had parents of the new era worrying for their children were the basis for the original format of this show. The show has often satirized pop culture, and made itself easier for parents to watch along too.And thus, the positive impact this show has had on modern society is beyond another. No show is more recognized the world over by as many generations and walks of life. Shown in its original format or with changes to reflect a regional education focus, Sesame Street is now seen in over 140 countries.The show that Entertainment Weekly named the "20th Best Ever Show" has changed the education scene to focus on "entertainment." This has turned out to be a valuable theory that not only helps the medicinal learning go down easier, but it also increases the effectiveness of the information being taught.In an almost backwards sense, the show stays fresh by recycling programming ideas every three years, by which time a new group of kids is watching. Unlike most PBS Kids shows, which have an original run, then go into continuous repeats until getting dropped by PBS or sold to another network, Sesame Street has created many new episodes every season since its debut Nov. 10, 1969. American teachers now expect children to arrive on the first day of school knowing the basics about letters, numbers, and language. "Kindergarten now does what first grade used to do," creator Joan Ganz Cooney has said, "and I think that's directly due to Sesame Street." (53)Kids Incorporated! Premiered: September 1, 1984 Last Aired: September 1, 1993The show consisted of a group of young teens (that occasionally shifted every few years as members grew too old to be considered "kids" and were replaced) who performed watered-down and cleaned-up versions of pop music standards of the era, with most of the Kids noticeably pretending to play their own instruments, a la The Monkees and The Partridge Family (they did sing, though).The series was pitched to several networks as a pilot in 1983 by series creator Thomas W. Lynch and producer Gary Biller. Four of the original cast members were joined by other singers and dancers. The pilot never aired on TV, yet was released on home video in 1985 as Kids Incorporated: The Beginning. The series was never picked up and began airing in syndication.The one instance where the song performed was not cleaned-up was in a 1989 episode entitled "The Storybook House"; there the lyrics were kept intact (The song in question was "Dancing With Myself", by Billy Idol).The group of kids during the first season released two platinum-selling albums of cover songs. The show also seems to have launched David Hasselhoff's singing career, when he appeared to serenade the children with his rendition of The Contours' "Do You Love Me"

Kids INC. was awesome, but Sesame Street is timeless as long as you watch it before they focused on Elmo. Personally though I liked The Electric Company more than Sesame Street.
