Summer Fun Fridays

Summer Fun Fridays was a summer-long campaign that PBS Kids aired from 12PM to 3PM EST and PT/11AM to 2PM CT (in the timeslot normally occupied by the Bookworm Bunch) every Friday in 2001 from June to August.

The program featured shows like The Puzzle Place, Ghostwriter, Shining Time Station, Reading Rainbow, 3-2-1 Contact, and Square One Television. Some of these shows were alluded to aired for New Year to ring into 2002. In between each show was an animated short made from viewers' drawings of them doing summer stuff such as going to the beach, eating ice cream, and catching fireflies. Also during Summer Fun Fridays, a weekly contest was held in which the winner would receive a flip video camcorder from Pure Digital Technologies. The winners were announced on The Sunny Side Up Show.
