like Teletubbies on acid

Lidsville, starring Charles Nelson Reilly

Gimme Gimme Octopus

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.

i think ive seen that before, it was great.
what was that tv show witha family of dinosaurs? it wasnt animation but people incostumes. there was a fat dad and a baby who's diaper was his shell? ring any bells for anyone?

Yo Gabba Gabba looks awesome. Biz Markie teaching beatboxing? Fuck yeah.

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

that fingermouse guy is fucked up... something has to be wrong with him

I love yo gaba gaba.

MARK MOTHERSBAUGH!

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:

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.

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

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.

Gibby's dad is Mr Peppermint!

when i think about just about every kids show i watched they all seem very weird now.

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 tokusatsuchildren'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.

It was called Dinosaurs. :p

& the mother of them all

Not the mamma!

and he'd hit his dad with a frying pan!

haha

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. :o



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