Hi! I am a big fan of Between The Lions and I have found lost episodes of the show, so my job is to fix this wiki! I am currently adding guides for each episode. Please do not edit this user page.

My Favorite Segments

 * If You Can Read - I remember watching these on the old website. They were fun and catchy.
 * Vowel Boot Camp - I can remember this from the website too. I just liked it, really.
 * Dance In Smarty Pants - I never found Arty Smartypants creepy. I remember watching the Short Story Time segments on the website. Anyways, I am also a huge fan of Sesame Street, so I was pretty excited to see Bert and Elmo in them.
 * The Adventures Of Cliff Hanger - Of course, everyone likes these! Something about them is so satisfying although they always start and end the same way.
 * Fred Says - One of the most nostalgic segments. Fred Newman sounding out words and saying them, then doing just that.
 * Hip And Rhymo Rap - This is probably the least nostalgic, I guess because it's from the later seasons. These were pretty rare, but I found them all. I find those pretty catchy, although they were one of those segments that didn't make it feel like you were watching the show...

My Least Favorite Segments (A.K.A. The Scariest Segments)

 * My Favorite Word - Remember how I said I was never scared of Arty Smartypants? Well, there is one I was downright HORRIFIED of when I was little! It's so not as bad as I thought it was, but back then these were PURE NIGHTMARE FUEL! The colors (Black & White) and the look of the singers were really it. The stage itself looked terrifying too, but that is also nowhere near as scary as I thought it was.
 * Fish Hatchery.png Fish Hatchery (From Salmon In Alaska) This segment was not scary but it is my least favorite. Although it's educational, it feels just boring and out of place. It feels like a video not related at all to the show.
 * If You Were - Same as the one above. It's educational but feels out of place.
 * CGI Letters is another good example. If I were to post a clip of this certain segment and ask what PBS show it's from, nobody could guess. Really.
 * Some segments in Night Shift, such as Kids Imitating Jobs and It's My Job also did not fit right in with the show.
 * CGI Letters r.pngll, the show seemed to go through some seasonal rot, they call it, where they put in segments that don't give you that BTL feeling, like before I mentioned Hip And Rhymo Rap not exactly fitting in although catchy, or the last 4 I mentioned above. Also I saw the show was going into modern things with computers and Iphones, such as This part from Salmon In Alaska where a phone comes in and goes to 'videos' and then goes to the segments. This also appears in Me And My Cat? here. Also, you can see that the story "Rabbit's Gift" is playing on a computer, and they're not reading the book, but more watching it.

My Favorite Episodes

 * 1) Episode 55: Stop That Chicken! (Good plot with Chicken Jane falling out of her book and bouncing around the library. The presence of an If You Can Read and Vowel Boot Camp make it better.
 * 2) Episode 121: Three More Little Pigs/The Ants and the Grasshopper (This is one of two fully animated episodes. I thought it was lost for a while until I found it on archive.org. Plus it's got If You Can Read: Ug.
 * 3) Episode 06: The Hopping Hen (This is a very funny episode. The printer doesn't print the "no"'s on the new signs for the library and everything goes wrong.)
 * 4) Episode 05: Shooting Stars (This is the first episode I ever saw. I guess there were others, but when I saw one of the My Favorite Word segments on TV (I think it was Miniscule) and being scared by it, I couldn't watch the show because it might come up again. But this was a Season 1 episode so I was safe. I love "The Mighty Star Lion" at the end.)
 * 5) Episode 119: Like a Windy Day/Winter is the Warmest Season (This is the other animated episode. I love these ones a lot!)
 * 6) Episode 128: Castles, Caves, and Honeycombs/My House (AMAZING! Those green screen/animation effects in the "All Different Kinds of Homes Wing" are awesome.
 * 7) Episode 87: King Midas/The Dirty Smelly King (The puppets in the first half are pretty cute! Also there's an If You Can Read: Ick in it.)
 * 8) Episode 16: The Popcorn Popper (Mmmm... This episode makes me hungry every time!)
