	FETCH! Mon - Thursdays at 4pm, and Sundays at 8am Part game show, part reality TV, and part spoof, features real kids, real challenges, real science, and an unreal host named Ruff Ruffman (yes, he's an animated dog!).  FETCH! mixes live-action with animation and breaks the mold with its educational and comical take on America's newest television genre. Targeting six- to ten-year olds, it is spontaneous, unscripted, and full of twists. You and your child can visit FETCH! online for games and activities. Visit the new FETCH! Lab at The Schenectady Museum & Suits-Bueche Planetarium.    Learn about science and do hands-on activities!  Click here for more information.
