None of you old farts were on the Uncle Al show?

I absolutely just HAD to have my Mama's brand cookies & Barq's Creme Soda when watching that!

Even scarier, my dad was on the Uncle Al show.....in the 50's. :o

Since this thread is starting to evolve past cartoons, how about these classics from the 70's/80's? Loved both of these shows. I am totally not into the new Battlestar. Man, I was in love with Erin Gray too back then.

How many arguments did you have at school about what would have happened if the Galactica had reached Earth shortly after Buck did?

Buck would have flown Starbuck's dick into the dirt I tell ya!

You are my hero of the day. I have not been able to remember the names of these 2 shows.

If you liked Starblazers you can find DVD copies of the original Japanese version which was titled "Space Battleship Yamamoto". Be careful though, it's a bit more adult than the sanitized version I watched when I was 7.

Uncle Al was not available in the Dayton market. We had Kenny Roberts, the singing cowboy, on WHIO, and yes I wsa on the show, had my fifth birthday party there.

Whilst at OSU I was the floor director for Lucy's Toy Shop at WBNS. Sounded important but the pay check told the truth. Lucy was a handful... a real prima donna... she and her daughter were somehow connected to Chet Long, the news director and resident hemorrhoid on a stick.

Flippo was one funny, sarcastic dude and a very talented sax man. The rest of the place was a real zoo... could not believe so many adults lived such wild and sordid lives. What an education!

Buck was such a stud, he got so many hot broads on that show.

Sesame Street when I was little - Even after all these years I still remember "A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of Butter"...

...Some others off the top of my head are Captain Caveman, Fraggle Rock, Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Smurfs, [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Inspector Gadget, GoBots, and the [/FONT]Laff-A-Lympics were always the shit.

Bolded names were absolutely essential growing up. Actually, I just had an epiphany... Scrooge McDuck swimming in money has been the subconscious reason that I work in finance now. Sheesh, I was so impressionable. Damned thing is, Smurfs is why I secretly favor communist regimes as well.

Man I hated that [Captain Planet], even as a kid I thought it was a very lame premise for a cartoon. I won't let my kids watch it. It's like a bunch of little animated Al Gore's running around.

I hated Captain Planet too, and I can't remember why... funny thing is, I like Al Gore. I mean, just look at his thread on BP, he's such an innovator.

Captain Kangaroo
Lucy's Toyshop
Mister Rogers Neighborhood
The Electric Company
Sesame Street
Howdy Dowdy

Bolded names - obviously. Old Sesame Streets are still great to watch. I would buy every episode for my kids. By the way, you can YouTube the 1-2-3-4-5... song, and its actually a really cool song (will add later if I remember, no YouTube at work).

Still from a purely Daytonion standpoint it was all Clubhouse 22; Johnny Walker, Duffy the Dog & Doctor Creep (and Creep's Shock Theater) for me.[/quote]

When we finally got one of those aiming antennas with the control box on top of the TV we could get Cincinnati stations, but we didn't do that until I was in college (1961) and no longer gave a damn about Dayton TV.

Ironically enough Uncle Al was actually broadcast nationally by ABC for a couple of years in the late 50's, although I doubt you were watching it when you were in HS.
