City Island: USA!

TV show · 2026

A six-episode PBS Kids miniseries of two-minute animated shorts, City Island: USA! sends Watt the lightbulb, Windy the kite, and their teacher Mr. Rubric on a regional road trip across America, where real-life landmarks come to life and share their history and meaning. It is a cheerful, low-stakes civics and geography lesson wrapped in the same warm, vintage-flavored animation as the original City Island, built for toddlers and preschoolers.

Comfortably suits toddlers and preschoolers; older kids who enjoy the original City Island will breeze right through it too.

Nothing in this one needed a heads up.
