Title: Childhood Television Shows... Post by the white o on Nov 27th, 2006, 3:18pm Okay Nicole (the red o) just made me think of the shows I used to watch while growing up as a kid, some shows I remember watching are: Mr. Dressup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zRo0eDnFTM Under the Umbrella Tree Sesame Street Today's Special http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2HOyn8oyjI Anyone else remember? |

Title: Re: Childhood Television Shows... Post by the red o on Nov 27th, 2006, 3:31pm Mr. Dressup, obviously, because he was awesome. Mr. Rogers, who wasn't as awesome as Mr. Dressup, but cool enough. David the Gnome. Animated, so not in the same vein as the other two, but my number one kids' show. My aunt would have to speed home from picking us up at preschool so that my cousin and I could see the whole episode. Man... I've gotta find some David the Gnome episodes online. I don't know Under the Umbrella Tree and Today's Special. Were those Canadian shows? |

Yup, Today's Special was shot partly on sets, but the beginning was at the Eaton's Centre in Toronto. It's so cool. I loved Today's Special while I was growing up! So was Under the Umbrella Tree. |

No Heart didn't appreciate him, Shrieky was always yelling at him and those damn Care Bears were always picking on him. I wanted him to win just once. I also loved Mr. Dressup. But damn I hated those puppets they used after Casey and Finnigan. I wanted to throw Truffles into the oven and watch her BURN. I was a very troubled child. :-X |

And those Misfits were so mean! Except for Stormer...I think that was her name; she was nice. Also I didn't have cable growing up; I must have just watched PBS...Sesame Street, and ZOOBILEE ZOO. Now that show was awesome. Peewee's Playhouse was on a noncable channel as well. Remember when he married a bowl of ice cream? And when they went to commercial..."After these messages we'll be riiiight...BACK!" |

But, for example, it sucked the summer I had to move back home and I missed the end of Real World San Diego. And any other cable show I had been watching at the time. Ok, One Saturday Morning..yes! That was just a few years ago, right? They so need to bring that back....after watching the link...aw, man. That was good television. And they showed Recess; I loved that show. I totally had a Jem cassette tape. That was my morning routine....eating Cheerios while listening to Jem in my little tape deck.

Title: Re: Childhood Television Shows... Post by the green o on Dec 9th, 2006, 10:37pm I was thinking about it. I bet the reason there's so little stuff from earlier than the 70's on there is because there were no VCRs way back then. If you look at the quality of some of the 70's clips, they seem to have those funny lines in them that you'd get from taping something on a VCR. The newer clips seem a lot clearer. Who would ever think to record a TV commercial anyway? I remember how we used to do screencaps. We'd tape something from the TV on our VCR, then stop the frame, take a picture with a 35mm camera, get the film developed, send the pic to our friends via snail mail... cripes, you guys have it so easy now! |

Post by goober_1013 on Dec 11th, 2006, 7:55pm does anyone remember a show called Pinwheel? i think they used to play it on Nickelodeon. . .or am i going crazy?! nickelodeon used have great cartoons when i was little. someone already mentioned David the Knome and then there was the Lil Bits and i can't remember the name of it, but they would tell different fairy tales. that one was my favorite. . . and my secret guilty pleasure, H. R. Pufnstuf. that silly Witchy Poo. . . ;D |

Title: Re: Childhood Television Shows... Post by the green o on Dec 11th, 2006, 11:56pm Ahh...Gumby and Pokey! Did anyone have those rubbery Gumby and Pokey figures that we used to play with? If you bent their appendages enough times, the metal rod inside used to poke out. I guess we were rough with our toys. :beatup: |

Yeahhhh I had those! But I never made the metal poke through :) GUMBY! And his pony pal Pokey too....that's all I remember of the song. And Gumby skated around on one foot...and he had a friend named Goo and Spike, I think. In the short Gumby movie I had he skated through a book and got stuck and had to try and get back through to the other side....this same tape had some clip with a guy who had a lawnmower and ended up mowing everything up with it.... I will be VERY surprised if anyone has any idea what I'm talking about. |
