h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Gwennie gives Mari-rae a gentle shake*

Us Poms are being terribly rude to our colonial cousin here. *Offers Mari-rae a video of UK t.v. programmes to watch at home...* It explains the British psyche a lot once you understand what we grew up with! *Giggle insanely.....*

Anyone remember "Twizzle"?

*Mari-Rai still seems asleep so Coelacanth writes with fin in the sand so that she can read it when she wakes up*

What a fun site! Where on Earth did you find it? I've been watching some of the Cat Weazle media player videos! *Big kid alert!*

Some people surf the net, but I just swim around a lot
The power of electrickery! What was his toad called?

*Snoring loudly. Flickering eye movements behind closed lids. Dreaming.*

(Singing in her sleep)

It's Howdy Doody time,
It' Howdy Doody time.

We did have some of your TV in the UK. I particularly remember Top Cat. Tom and Jerry is still shown here nearly every week. Little House on the Prarie and the Waltons was on when I was a small fish, and still have weekly outings on a terrestrial channel today.
The game shows I remember too, and they were taken from US formats.

And, of course the rather wonderful Bananna Splits!!! I loved the other cartoons that were in this show, escpecially the one with the magic carpet........
Please wake up!

*Gwennie puts her hand up and jumps up and down...*

I know! I know! It was Touchwood...

Yes, the Banana Splits were really funny... I was about ten when they were around. The Monkeys were also one of my favourites at that time too. Then there was "Hogan Heroes" - I used to love the poor old German guard, Shultz ("I see nothing!".......)

Please wake up Mari-rae..... are we really that rude and boring?????

Touchwood! (I had though it was Scratchwood, but that's a service station so I knew it wasn't quite right!!).
*loudly sings the Banana Splits song to wake up Mari-Rae*
LA LA LA
LALALA LA
LA LA LA
LALALA LA

... and we were rude enough over here to change good old Top Cat to Boss Cat... so that some stupid cat food manufacturer didn't get free publicity!! Funny how the song still said Top Cat though

As sure as Dick Dastardly would never win the Wacky Races!

*Gwennie realises that she's learned something new today....*

I always wondered why the Boss Cat song said Top Cat!!!

Glad to have been of help Gwennie
Hey! You guys over there have Noddy now right? I seem to remember that Disney bought the rights to it! Does this mean there will be an all singing all dancing film soon?

I'm awake, I'm awake. I remember Top Cat. *happy to bond with the others!*
The other kid shows from the 60's I remember are Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, 3 Stooges, Fury, Sky King, Lassie, and Leave It To
Beaver, to name a few.

Ooooooh yes!
*Oh my dahrling
Oh my dahrling
Oh my dahrling Clementine*
Good old Huck! and what a cool colour for a dog
*BooBoo! I'm smaaaaaaaarter then the average bear*
What delightful scenes are conjured up in here

Then Boo Boo says; "Yogi, its the Ranger."

My all time favorite cartoon show was and is Rocky and Bullwinkle. It had Boris Badinov and Natasha; Dudley Doright and his horse, Horse, and Nell; Fractured Fairytales; Sherman and Peabody... It was always clever and funny!

What about the original "Batman & Robin" 60's t.v. series with Adam West (and Burt Ward, wasn't it?). I used to sit glued to the t.v., stuffing my face with jam sandwiches that my grandmother had made me....... *Sighs nostalgically*

Oh yes! And Adam Adamant! With Gerald Harper I think! I don't suppose that it made it across the Ocean though
One of my faves atm has to be Inspector gadget though... and of course no cartoon nostalgia is complete without including
*Think Pink*
