See I know that anything I type just gets launched into the void, drifting in space like a SeaMonkey in a fishbowl. It may offend, inspire, or amuse the other SeaMonkeys but at the end of the day there will be no political reform, coup d'etat, or religious restructuring.

The fishbowl belongs to Alex and he could easily pour a little Clorox into the bowl if we get out of hand.

All this has been said before, but I thought it would be nice to have an oasis for the peaceful, fun loving SeaMonkeys to come and float in peace.

Today's topic will be: Children's TV programming from the 70's and 80's

If someone comes to defecate in this pond or to bite the other monkeys, I will request a lock.

Childrens programs from the 70's oh lordy that hit a nerve. I loved watching Saturday morning shows, looked forward to the new ones every September.

I remember watching Sigmund and the Sea Monster, HR PuffnStuff, Laffalimpics (sp?), Felix the Cat, Josie & the Pussy Cats, Shazam, Fat Albert, The banana Splits, The Groovy Ghoolies, Land of the Lost, Bugaloo's, Wacky Racers, Speed Racer... and so much more like on channel 13 (PBS) The Electric Company, Zoom, Mr. Rogers.

Wow what memories it brings back.

come on an zooma zooma zooma zoooooom hee hee loved that show.

Another favorite...Little House in the Prarie...ohhhh every Wednesday me and mom on the couch crying because of something happy or because of something said never failed hahaha.

Sigmund and the Sea Monster!!! Oh my goodness, I haven't thought of that show in years, I used to love it. Oh, great, now the little theme song is running through my brain.

Oo how about Thomas the Tank Engine when it was still "The Fat Controller" and was narrated by Ringo Starr!

Remember his brothers... Burp and Slurp :biggrin1:

We left out Catch That Pigeon....

My wife and I realized we were meant for each other (we hated each other when we first meet) after having a 4 hr long conversation about cartoons. Specifically the Pink Panther side series, like Ant and aardvark, Mr Jaws and Catfish, and the ones no one ever remembers...The Tijuana Toads (later changed to Texas Toads) and the crazy legged crane, and Hoot Kloot.

Another favorite...Little House in the Prarie...ohhhh every Wednesday me and mom on the couch crying because of something happy or because of something said never failed hahaha.

Because I love my wife (no matter how much I hate the show) I bought her the whole 9 box set of Little House, she has watched ALL of them.

I used to be SOOOO in love with speed racer... then I moved on to each of the Brady boys.. at my appropriate ages of course....

What?!?!?! I don't know any of these shows. I grew up with the Smurfs. They were my favorite. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la!

How old are all of you anyway?!?!?!?!?!?!?

My faves were...

Sigmund and the Sea Monster

Land of the Lost

Little House on the Prairie

Electric Company

Thanks for this fun thread

LOL Diane, too old born in 72 old enough to remember almost all those shows that have been listed.

If I were a car I'd be a classic :huggie:

I am a solid I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Brady Bunch & Partridge Family girl........:music:Come on get Happpppyy!!!!!!:music:.........Mom always said don't play ball in the house............Uncle Aurthur!!!!!

My DH couldn't believe that I hadn't heard of of the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, so we rented them on Netflix... 20 years too late. I probably would have liked them when I was younger. OK, Sigmund was a little bit cute.

I was a cartoon lover: Smurfs, Snorks, and Scooby Doo. We watched Little House every Sunday before church. Most of our TV time was PBS, so as a kid I loved Mr. Wizard.

Is this topic dry? Want a new one? How about favorite vacation ever? We can still list or favorite kid shows too... Lets stretch and see if we can do two topics at once.

Can we also talk about the radio shows of the 1950's before my family had a TV?

Fibber McGee and Molly

Inner Sactum

The Lone Ranger

The Shadow

Edgar Bergen

Don't see why not. Good stuff? My local NPR used to do radio shows up until a few years ago. I loved them.
