In a 2001 poll by Channel 4 to find the "100 Greatest Kids' TV shows" Junior Showtime was at number 99. However Jeff Evans, the author of The Penguin TV Companion has also identified it as being amongst the twenty worst shows of all time. Almost all of the 190 episodes broadcast have not survived (see Wiping); only three programmes are believed to still exist. (en) |
