Long shot, but please help me out here. Anyone who watched PBS in the 90s remember this show?

It was a kids show. I remember watching it when I was home sick. It wasn't a real favorite, but I thought about it and now it's been bugging me that I do not know what it is.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

This was either the entire show or a segment, but I believe they worked at a newspaper/magazine. And there was this picture of an older man, who looked a lot like Orson Welles (but it wasn't) and he had a handkerchief, I believe, where he'd pull it out and possibly wipe his glasses. Anyway, as you can see, he was a talking picture, but he would only talk to the television audience and to the rest of the cast, he was a normal painting.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Or am I just losing my f'n mind?

Maybe both?

:shrug:

:P

:P

90's and you can find it by looking through the old polls? ;)

Damn him!

That was in the 80's though..

The shit. :D

They had a computer that talked to them, and they operated a printing press where they made a weekly newspaper. But this was in the 80's.

Maybe it was that show "Ghostwriter"?

But thanks!

PBS?

The list of PBS kids show in the '90's is not all that long ----

Maybe it was a cable show?

I remember Today's Special was on PBS, as well, and that was a Canadian program.

made in Canada, on PBS during the '90's -

Is it totally animated or are there real people in it?

This is making me crazy.
Look at this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Children's_television_series_in_Canada

(edit to add list)

A guy and a girl in their 20s or 30s maybe?

Taught you how to write and what not.

At least I think so, anyway.

Ghostwriter?

Took place in NY City though.

Ghostwriter (1992-1995) featured a diverse, large cast of New York youngsters who busted crimes and solved mysteries thanks to "Ghostwriter," an otherwise invisible sidekick who woul d, when depicted as a computer-generated squiggle, illumination, or other vague image, appear every now and then to point the young investigators in the right direction. Examples of when the audience would know Ghostwriter was coming around to help save the day was when a line of text in a newspaper would suddenly appear highlighted, or a little, fuzzy spot of light would appear on an otherwise blank wall. These often-complex and always interesting mystery stories took place over four consecutive episodes.

I'm very familiar with Ghostwriter, probably saw most episodes. This, however, was not.

Sadly, I don't think I'll ever figure this one out. :(

Thanks, though.
