Monday March 2nd is the Bear’s 11th birthday and even though she’s within an extended-arms reach of the teen years, she still likes a cuddle and a half an hour with PEG + CAT on PBS Kids. Hell, I’m 39, with already long arms, and I’d gladly stand in line for both of those treats as well. Some things, the best things, defy age.
It’s fitting that on Monday March 2nd, PEG + CAT will be off and running with a week of new musical PEG + CAT episodes. Over the course of the “Peg Rocks!” week, Peg and Cat will pay a visit to famed Radio City Music Hall in NYC, join a girl group, and flash back to the 60’s. Naturally, the adorable pair will do all of this while continuing to explore early math concepts.
Here’s the official skinny on each new musical PEG + CAT episode airing this week (check your local PBS Kids listings for PEG + CAT show times):
