''Between The Lions'' was a [[PBS]] kids' show with puppet/marionette animal characters designed to teach reading. As the title suggests, the main characters are a family of lions who live in a library. The series lasted from September, 2000 to November, 2010.
The series was known to have a writing team who sometimes forget that this is an [[Edutainment]] show and made it far too amusing to watch, be the age group younger [[Periphery Demographic|or]] [[Parental Bonus|older]]. There were also a lot of jabs at famous children's novels, such as [[Dick and Jane]] becoming "Chicken Jane".
Yes, it's just as silly as it sounds.
Line 30:
* [[Parental Bonus]] - Lots, being a PBS show.
** Theo and Cleo, during their cooking segments, display a '''lot''' of sexual tension. You can't help thinking that after they're finishing devouring that (as always, uncooked) hunk of meat, they'll start devouring ''each other.''
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Punny Name]]: Cliff Hanger.
* [["Reading Is Cool" Aesop]]: This was essentially what the seies was trying to promote, though it also focused on the basics of learning to read.
