Don’t mind me, I’m just watching old episodes of The Great Space Coaster on YouTube (Does anyone else remember this show? I watched it as a kid along with 3-2-1 Contact, Captain Kangaroo, H.R. Pufnstuf, The Bugaloos, etc.)

Heck yeah. I had to show my kid No Gnews is Good Gnews, with Gary Gnu a few months ago. That please has lived in my head for... 45 years?
Beat me to it.
Gary Gnews still cracks me up!
Yes! I remember saying this very quote and no one would remember it, which after many times, started making me wonder if I imagined it.
Absolutely remember it, and this song about "Mean" Joe Green has lived rent free in my head since it was broadcast in 1980. I had to have seen it rerun a few times for it to have imprinted so deeply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMugnTspS2c
Haha. As soon as I read the headline, I started singing the theme song.
I’m pretty sure I sat through 3-2-1 Contact solely for Bloodhound Gang content. I think I could write synopses of their episodes from memory but my fave was the one where the perp used a model train to make it appear as if people were moving about their house.
Check out The Inbestigators on Netflix. It’s made for kids (which is how I started watching it with my kids) but it’s quite enjoyable as just a wholesome kid detective TV show. Also it’s pretty funny.
If I could get up early enough I could watch the first half until we had to leave for school, so I was rarely able to see the second half. Imagine that. 🤣
