What happens

Between the Lions is an American live-action/animated/puppet educational children's television series designed to promote reading. The show is a co-production between WGBH in Boston, Sirius Thinking, Ltd., in New York City, and Mississippi Public Broadcasting (the latter PBS station co-producing from 2005 to 2010) in Jackson, the distributor from seasons 1–10. The show won ten Daytime Emmy awards between 2001 and 2007. Although it is created by alumni of the fellow PBS children's show Sesame Street and featured guest appearances from some of its characters, Between the Lions was not created by Sesame Workshop, nor was it produced with their involvement in any way. The show premiered on PBS Kids on April 3, 2000, taking over the schedule slot held by The Puzzle Place upon its debut, and ended on November 22, 2010. This TV show is a companion piece to Sesame Street aimed at slightly older children. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
