Arthur, since Backstreet Boys starred(no, that's not the reason why I like the show!) I like it 'cause I would always watch it, then get ready for school, go and walk down my lllloooonnnnggg driveway, and get on the bus to go to kindergarten. It's always been my favorite. Mr. Rogers has even been on it, and other famous people!
Oh man!!! Thank GOD, literally, that I grew up before that purple mound of cotton candy showed up on the scene! My poor sisters though...when their kids would watch it...it was like a direct sugar injection, hold the chocolate! OH BOY!!!!! At least the Muppets of Sesame Street had some semblence of 'humannes. There was humor.Conniepaw wrote:Back in the day - Big comfy couch, Mr. Rogers neighborhood, Arthur, Barney
Now - Upside down show, Wonder Pets (I have memorized the whole theme song from babysitting), and the one with Pinky and the story box that i forget the name of.
Ernie and Bert~ Jim Henson/Frank Oz's version of The Odd Couple---NO, not THAT kind of couple....Neil Simon style... when Jim was with us, those guys created some of the funniest scenes on any show. I could watch those episodes TODAY.
And LAMBCHOP's PLAY ALONG. I didn't mind watching that show with my nephews and neices, because it WASN'T ULTRA CUTE, ya know. Barney was the equivilent of drinking maple syrup...right out of the bottle! I'm a chocolate fiend and I wouldn't do that.
I recall (the late) Shari Lewis say; " Any show that chases adults out of the room is not worthy of kids' attention." Amen!!! I'd take Oscar the Grouch, any day, over Barney!
"THis is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on, my friend. Some people, started singing it; not knowing what it was. And they'll continue singing it forever, just because..... " That song was probably the leading cause of suicide or heavy drinking among school bus drivers.
"To borrow the colloquialism; "ARE you out of your mind!?" ~Eugene Meltzner~ maybe
