, a mid-70s offering on American public television with what has to be the bar none, no question, getthefuckouttahere, hottest theme song ever for a kid's television show. "Earworm" doesn't even begin to describe it.

eta: the damned video has been removed, ffs. Years I've been looking for it, and then it's on youtube for one brief, incandescent moment...and now it's gone again!

I remember Lamb Chops, but I didn't even realise it was American until just now!

I used to love the Woodentops.

ETA Oh my word - there are loads of Woodentops on youtube!

[Part 2]

Playschool (which window is it gonna be? Can I BEAR the excitement?!)

When I first moved to Manchester we often used to see Derek Griffiths in town. My mate oince saw him looking in Lewis's window and went up to ask him was he looking through the round/square/arch window. He wasn't that amused.

I thought he was well cool before that, especially singing Heads n Tails.

 

[Part 2]

Oh, and did anyone watch Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home?

Was it any really any good? or was it just there was fuck all else on on Sunday afternoon.

Clopper Castle
Star Fleet

Yeh, cos I bet he NEVER gets asked that


I'd find it pretty much irresistable though if I saw him

 

[Dubversion]

Children of The Stones. creepy as fuck - bought the DVD recently and although it's shonky, it's STILL creepy

 

[Part 2]

It was the simpsons of the time.

That's how I would remember it too but I wasn't sure if that was just because it was an american cartoon about a family.

The house and car going into the garage bits in the start are fairly similar though.

You beat me to it although you are pretty much the only other person I know who's ever seen it, so

 

[badlands]

children of the stones was as creepy as fuck

 

[Louloubelle]

The Owl Service

 

[Badgers]

Knightmare

"you are in a big room"

 

[badlands]

[_angel_]

The Owl Service

When was that on TV?


Elidor was a fucking great book, but I never read The Owl Service.

 

[Guineveretoo]

did our parents really let us watch this?

No, because that episode was not aired until recently

"you are in a big room"

Knightmare was hard as fuck. I seem to remember whole series going by with no winners
