About Postcards from Buster
Postcards from Buster takes viewers on adventures across the United States and sometimes even to other countries. Buster travels with his dad, who is a pilot. During his travels, Buster meets real children and families. He learns about their lives, cultures, and traditions. The show mixes animation with live-action footage, so you see Buster as a cartoon character interacting with real people and places.
Learning and Exploring
The show's main goal is to teach kids about different places and people. Buster often records his experiences with a video camera, sending "video postcards" back to his friends in Elwood City. This helps viewers learn about geography, different ways of life, and how people celebrate their unique cultures.
A Noteworthy Episode
In 2005, an episode of Postcards from Buster called "Sugartime!" caused some discussion. The episode showed Buster visiting Vermont and meeting a family with two mothers. This was a new topic for a children's show at the time. Because of this, the episode was not aired by some PBS stations, leading to a lot of talk about what kinds of families and topics should be shown on children's television.
