Kidsongs is an American children's television series that premiered on PBS in 1987. The show starred the talented and adorable Alexandra Picatto, Lynsey Bartilson, and Mark Humphrey. The program was created with the intention of teaching young children the importance of music, and to instill a lifelong love of music and singing.

The program was aimed at preschool and elementary age children and consisted of live-action music videos featuring kids singing and dancing to popular children's songs, as well as many original songs. The series was produced and directed by Bruce Gowers, who is known for his work on a number of popular music videos, such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles.

Each episode of Kidsongs had a different theme, such as transportation, animals, or America. The episodes were filmed on location at various places around the United States, including the Santa Monica Pier, the Alamo, and the USS Midway Museum. The children were dressed in bright, colorful outfits and were always having a great time singing and dancing together.

One of the unique things about the show was that it featured a group of diverse children from various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. This was especially significant during the time the show was produced, as racial tensions were high and diversity was not always celebrated.

The producers of the show were passionate about encouraging children to relate to and appreciate different cultures, and to be accepting of people who come from different walks of life. The Kidsongs approach was to teach kids about different cultures and their music in a fun and engaging way that could capture their attention and leave a lasting impression.

The show was so popular that it resulted in a number of spin-offs, such as a tour, merchandise, and even a line of musical toys. Additionally, the show received several awards and accolades, including a Parents' Choice award.

Overall, Kidsongs was an upbeat and entertaining program that helped children learn about music, culture, and diversity. It was a fun, playful show that encouraged children to sing and dance along while discovering new things about the world around them. Whether children were watching at home or in school, Kidsongs was truly an unforgettable experience for many young viewers.

Kidsongs is a series that is currently running and has 6 seasons (130 episodes). The series first aired on January 1, 1986.
