My favorite time of year is almost here, and PBS KIDS is once again rolling out some stellar Halloween-themed programming throughout the month of October.
ODD SQUAD is toplining things this year with a new one-hour special entitled, ODD SQUAD: AGAINST THE ODDS, and there’s a bunch of Halloween favorite episodes of DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD, CURIOUS GEORGE, PEG + CAT, CAILLOU and more coming back. Check out the full details below…
On Monday, October 5, PBS KIDS will premiere “ODD SQUAD: Against the Odds,” an all-new one-hour special from PBS KIDS’ newest hit series. “Against the Odds” will include five 11-minute stories with Olive, Otto and the rest of the gang as they solve the community’s strange problems (descriptions follow). The special will repeat throughout the week of October 5 and will be available free on pbskids.org and the PBS KIDS Video App. ODD SQUAD, a live-action series from The Fred Rogers Company that premiered on PBS KIDS last year, is designed to help kids ages 5-8 build math, problem-solving and collaboration skills.
“Odd-tober” will continue on PBS KIDS throughout the week of October 25-31 with the return of family Halloween favorites, including the hit one-hour special “CURIOUS GEORGE: A Halloween Boo Fest.” Favorite episodes from PBS KIDS series such as DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD, WILD KRATTS, PEG + CAT and DINOSAUR TRAIN will also air throughout the week (a full listing of episodes follows). Families will be able to play Halloween games and stream the Halloween-themed episodes free on pbskids.org and the PBS KIDS Video App.
