* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'' was heavily promoted by the network, with the promo for the show airing during every program break on PBS Kids beginning two months prior. New episodes also always get advertised, unlike the InvisibleAdvertising that other shows get.

Peg + Cat is still adored. For instance, a recent family night centered around it.

Added DiffLines:

* Of all the ended shows on PBS Kids that are currently airing in reruns, ''WesternAnimation/PegPlusCat'' is given the most love by the network. The specials still air on Family Night when there's nothing else to run, and the reruns air in a decent timeslot of 7:30AM on weekends, when most older shows are broadcast during the 6:00AM hour.

* ''Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood'' gets this treatment '''a lot'''. It has tons of posts made about it daily on PBS Kids’ social media, ranging from links to resources based on the show to promotions for blogs gushing over the show, lots of advertisement, and constant DVD releases. It helps that it has ties to the universally-adored ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' and is the channel's second most popular program after ''Series/SesameStreet''.

In addition, from the premiere of ''Ready Jet Go!'' in 2016 until the premiere of ''Donkey Hodie'' in 2021, the show aired a back-to-back hour long block on the PBS national feed, something that has never happened for any other series.

Added example(s): I'm not sure of the exact date of the shift, but I know it happened around 2020-2021 and they have shifted from straight-up promoting a single show nonstop for a few days to a week to being more creative with posts when it comes to shows dating back to the days of old. This could probably also use some better wording/more wording.

Added DiffLines:

* While PBS Kids's presence and attitude on social media has largely changed beginning in 2020 (being more creative with posts similar to those of other kids networks, like Creator/NickJr), one tactic they often use in light of new episodes of a show is heavily promoting said show through either showing clips of it, promoting a game from it that is on the website, or by slipping it in with other shows through a creative post. They've even taken to doing this with older shows, such as ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' or ''Series/TheElectricCompany2009''.

Gave my old, untouched entry from 4 years ago a slight revamp.


* PBS Kids gives ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'' a lot of good treatment. It gets consistent advertising, had its first 13 episodes released on the app, and gets 2 daily time slots on the main PBS network before the show got less attention after the ''Literature/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' reboot was officially announced.

Added DiffLines:

* PBS Kids had enough faith in the August 2023 batch of episodes of ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' and the season 2 premiere of ''Series/DonkeyHodie'' that they pre-empted the second slot of ''Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood'' and the first one for ''Donkey Hodie'' on the 24/7 channel to air the new episodes of ''Donkey Hodie'' and ''Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood'' in those slots. Keep in mind that this rarely happens for new episodes on the channel (in the case of ''Daniel Tiger'' and ''Donkey Hodie'', when a new episode airs, it's usually paired with a repeat of the same show), and it's also rare for the channel to change its' schedule outside of special events and ''Family Night''.

* Whenever a PBS Kids show gets a special or movie, expect PBS to frequently air said special throughout the month of its' premiere. If it's at least an hour long, expect PBS to use said special to pre-empt the slots of their adored programs such as ''Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood'' and ''Donkey Hodie''. This also happens to a lesser extent with new episodes of their programs, minus the pre-emption part.

* PBS loves promoting ''Series/DonkeyHodie''. Before it aired, they aired many sneak peaks of the musical numbers and aired promos about the characters themselves. They also had several parenting blogs preview the show and make flying flapjacks to celebrate. After it premiered, they constantly put ads for the show on Twitter ad spaces, the official Website/YouTube channel uploaded many episodes and compilation videos of the show onto their channel, and they even had four Family Night marathons of the show, with one of them lasting four hours. The show also got a second season renewal 11 months after its' premiere, as well as several merchandising deals including a toy line and an album.

The Groovy Guitar adoration is a different kind of adoration, so I made a new example for it.


*** Ever since the episode's premiere in March 2022, "Groovy Guitar; Treasure Nest" has been aired every week on either the PBS Kids channel or block, to the point where it will air at random as the channel airs the show's other episodes in order of the sets they originally aired in (for instance, on the week of April 10th, 2022, this episode aired in between "Art Show Today; The Lavender Lights" and "Chili Jamboree; Hoof Dancing is Hard", both of which are from the first set of 13 episodes) Even the PBS Kids app adores this episode, as it shows up as a "new episode" once a month. The same exact treatment would later happen with "Cheesy Con; Stanley's One-Dragon Show".

* ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'' is very much adored. Long after the original show's cancellation in 2010 due to declining ratings, WGBH Boston continues to create spin-offs utilizing the character and his extended cast.
Back when the first season was in production, PBS liked what they saw so much that they greenlit a second season for the show before it even aired.
