So, you decided not to brave the crazy beach traffic and now you're looking for something to watch this Labor Day. Well, to prove that PTR cares about our more family-focused readers too, we thought we'd let you in on something fun, educational and family friendly to tune into this Labor Day (and all-week long). PBS Kids is premiering its latest educational animated series Monday morning. Sid the Kid, co-produced by The Jim Henson Company, follows Sid and his school friends as they use comedy and music to promote exploration, discovery and science readiness among preschoolers. Here's a rundown of this week's episodes:Monday, September 1, 2008 – PREMIERE EPISODE – “The Sticker Chart”
