Martha Speaks was not a part of the Double Your Fun event


----



* AdoredByTheNetwork: Because the show was a huge hit, PBS promoted it a lot back in 2009-2012 along with ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'', ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'', ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'', and ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge''. It also got back-to-back episodes in Summer 2014 alongside the aforementioned ''George'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'', ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', and ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts''. It's loved enough that they still air the show over a decade later.

it's not known from a probability it's known from direct fossil evidence


** The limb proportions of ''Spinosaurus'' were probably far more unusual than depicted in the show. In 2020 it was discovered that their tails had tall neural spines that would have formed a newt like tail structure.
