Hippie Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Anyone remember the words about Choo-Choo Charlie, -sung for Good-n-plenty? btw: what the hell was that stuff, candy coated squirrel turds? My earliest recollection of TV was "My mother the car" or 'Gilligan' on prime time. I would guess about '65. merry axemas! In two days, it won't matter.

timobrien Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Here you go, Hippie: Once upon a time there was an engineer, Choo Choo Charlie was his name we hear. He had an engine and it sure was fun, he used Good and Plenty candy, to make his train run. Charlie says: "Love my Good and Plenty, they really ring my bell!" "Love my Good and Plenty candy, don't know any other candy, that I love so well!"

Arjay Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Guess I'm old. "Where The Action Is." Wow. Don't forget "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo." My Mom STILL has a coupla Creepy Crawlers (V 1.0) spiders that I used to hide around the house to scare her. She's morbid that way. Remember what they were made of? PLASTIGOOP! Happy Kringle.

Lloyd Thaxton Honey West** Where the Action is** Fright Night with Seymour Creepy Crawlers ver. 1** Choo Choo Charley** Engineer Bill The Pancake Man Astro Boy** Gigantor** Diver Dan** Big World Little Adam Chiller** The Washington Senators** Stars indicate the ones I remember. My very first big league baseball game was the Senators vs. the Orioles. Hmmm...now, I'm probably wrong, but didn't the Senators move to KC and become the Royals? (not a big baseball historian, but there was something like that)...at any rate, we live in KC now, and the Royals don't do much better than the Senators did. I lived in the D.C. area til I was 12. A lot of those programs you mention may have been local productions...like "Engineer Bill". In D.C., we had "Ranger Hal" and "Captain Tugg"...and a show called "Countdown Carnival". Some local host would dress up in a costume and show cartoons, along with little skits... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZsound Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 We had a guy here in the Portland area called "Mr. Moon" who wore a cape and a moon head. He did a Saturday morning show until one time they failed to turn off his mic and he was heard saying "That ought to hold the little bastards" at the end of his show. Gone..toast. We had to live with Ramblin Rod and Captain Kangaroo from then on...aaaah, there was always Annette..the single most developed 12 year old on TV. I remember my dad bringing home a plastic sheet that was supposed to turn our 1952 Arvin Traveler B&W TV into a color set..not. Mark G.

Tom Capasso Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 [quote]Originally posted by AlChuck: [b]Anybody remember Colonel Bleep? Crusader Rabbit? Clutch Cargo?[/b][/quote] When I remember Colonel Bleep, I think it was cool and creepy at the same time. Crusader Rabbit (and his sidekick Rags the tiger) were precursors to Rocky and Bullwinkle. Remember they had a set of shows on a deserted island called Nothing Atoll ?? And I remember Rags dreaming of being in Rome when Nero was fiddling? Hey - my wife's boss drives an Avanti - it was made by a company that bought the plans from Studebaker (the official car of the Mr. Ed show). I always thought the Beatles cartoon aptured their personalities well, but I know the band hated the whole thing. Can't Buy Me Love was the theme - at one point during the intro they bring the band to a concert in an ambulance. I can still kind of hear where the siren comes in during the theme song. PF Flyers?

That sure did bring back memories, like sitting around watching Capt. Kangaroo, life was good back then.

stratusloop Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 ....many moons ago, when life seemed so simple and less complex, the most you had to worry about was whether Sister Helene Magdelene would catch you sneaking a piece of candy, preferrably a Mallo Cup (mainly to collect the points that were on the cards), during class. Whoa! It's really embarrassing when your friends, especially the girls, watch you get a yard stick, which has been broken in half and taped together, get whacked over your knuckles. Ouch!! However, things got better, after school I couldn't wait to get home to watch my favourite TV cartoon show at the time. And when that show started up with it's distinct theme going something like this: Here he comes Here comes Speed Racer He's a demon on wheels.....etc etc Now that was worth waiting for each and every day! And when the show was over, I might watch Marine Boy but most times I would get on that old Schwinn of mine complete with sissy bar and cruise the block pretending I could leap over cars, climb walls or drive into an ocean with the theme racing through my head the entire time. And every once in while, 10 cavity Billy from down the street would be my nemesis from the Car Acrobatic Team (Snake Oiler). Now that's livin'! joe P.S. Wally Gator Rulz!!!!
