My friends have a three year old who's obsessed with Gabba Gabba, so I'm sure we'll be showing the baby dvds of it soon enough ourselves. We intend to stay away from pumped in tv so we can control the flow (especially of commercials!)

My wife and I watched all of Land of the Lost not all that long ago. She'd never seen it, and I knew she would love it. Always unfortunate how much the third season went down from the first two though, and the pilot isn't on any DVDs. I'm both excited and full of dread for the movie version coming out next year.

that guy was clearly on acid. I loved the Mitchell & Web 'Padlockegami' episode, it reminded me of those crappy 70's kids TV shows.

I grew up with the Magic Garden which featured two hippie chicks and a hot pink squirrel and a patch of daisies that giggled maniacally:

The Great Space Coaster
crazy colorful puppets like Gary Gnu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBOFnpH-1Pc

Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine

about a guy who works for a computer company but after hours he would go into a secret room where he assembled a computer that archives all kinds of weird film footage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lU4NTkEn_0

New Zoo Revue disturbingly huge animal costumes and two hippie dippies teach lessons about morality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e18_KL8PUYM

The 70's were a weird time to be a kid.

floatingslowly · 05.12.2008, 11:36 AM

Gibby Hayne's dad used to have a "local" kid's show in Dallas called Peppermint Place.

not really weird unless you factor in Gibby.

I blame the fire-breathing Dimetrons.

Rob Instigator · 05.12.2008, 11:56 AM

Gibby's dad is Mr Peppermint!

jon boy · 05.12.2008, 12:03 PM

Gimme Gimme Octopus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kure_Kure_Takora

Kure Kure Takora (クレクレタコラ, Kure Kure Takora? unofficial translation: "Gimme Gimme Octopus") is a tokusatsu children's comedy show from Japan. Produced by Toho Company Ltd., the show aired on Fuji TV and its subsidiaries from October 1, 1973 to September 27, 1974 with a total of 260 episodes.

...

It was a new type of program for children. TAKORA, a central character coveted for everything saying "KURE! (I want it)" all the time. Each episode was absurd, strange, violent, surreal, indescribable, and ran exactly 2 minutes and 41 seconds.

forkimified · 05.12.2008, 01:19 PM

It was called Dinosaurs.

That's hand rolled puffin stuff to you and me.

I totally forgot about Uncle Floyd. It was a local "kids" show in New Jersey on channel 68 UHF. They had rock and roll bands like the Ramones and the Plasmatics on all the time in the 70's and 80's.

He became such a part of pop culture that Bowie even mentioned him in a song.

that was one of my favorites.

Witchy Poo's "Oranges Smoranges, Who Cares?" still runs through my head.

I loved all of the Krofft Superstars shows.

I used to have a hardcore crush on the pink bug from The Bugaloos. I blame her saucy English accent.

to this day, I'm still hot for girls with antennae.
