"Just send it to Zoom, Z-double O-M, Box 350 Boston Mass 02134...Send it to Zoom!" <img src="http://websmileys.bei.t-online.de/em68.gif" alt=" - " />

You can't do that on televison. That was my ultimate favorite. I had such a crush on Kevin Kubacheskie. I spent hours trying to make green slime. I miss that show. I'd still watch it now.

My favourite shows were generally UK classics. I was a big fan of "Grange Hill" and loved to get creeped out by such shows as "Dr Who", "The Tomorrow People" and "Sapphire & Steel".

OK, I guess you could say these were more shows for teenagers, but I remember watching "Dr Who" and "The Tomorrow People" at a very early age.

Most other shows I loved and watched were New Zealand kids shows. But "Sesame St" was always popular.

I really like Sesame Street!! What about The Muppet Show!! I loved the two old men in the Balcony!! They were great!! <img border="0" alt="[Clappin]" title="" src="graemlins/clappin.gif" /> And of course you had to love Animal!! <img border="0" alt="[Thumbs Up 1]" title="" src="graemlins/thumbsup1.gif" />

Oh yeah, the Muppets were the greatest! I'm waiting for some more reruns on New Zealand TV so I can get my kids into them. They've seen a couple of videos but haven't really had the chance to become big fans yet.

What?! No one mentioned Mr. Rogers?! Won't you be my neighbor... <img border="0" alt="[ROFL]" title="" src="graemlins/rofl.gif" />

Also, I remember watching "Mulligan Stew" for school. :o

Don't remember "Puff-and-Stuff", actually sounds like a PORNO movie. <img border="0" alt="[Angel]" title="" src="graemlins/angel.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Lil Devil]" title="" src="graemlins/lildevil.gif" />

And speaking of Sesame Street...anyone happen to see the new HIV character? <img border="0" alt="[Lookin]" title="" src="graemlins/lookin.gif" />

I remember HR Puff N Stuff. Used to watch that way back in the early 70s. That was a cool show.

Does any one remember Sigmund The Sea Monster? Sigmund was one ugly *******, but I always enjoyed that show. Sigmund was a similar character to Puff N Stuff.

Hey Suzy,
Though it looked like Phyllis Diller, that wasn't her playing "Witchie Poo" that was another actress named Billie Hayes.
I thought Jack Wild was such a cutie! He played "Jimmy".
And the Flute's name was "Freddie"

Does anyone remember the "Far Out Space Nuts"?
It had Bob Denver in it!
Do you get the "Boom Network"?
Every once in awhile they will play a lot of these old shows. This past saturday I watched the New Adventures of Hukleberry Fin!
(Well, they're not NEW anymore!) It the show that was part live actors and part animation.
And what about "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl"? :D

HR Puff and Stuff scared me.

Recker, I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered Sigmund the Sea Monster! Anytime I would mention him to anyone, they would just look at me and say, "Noooooo, I don't remember that one." It kinda got to be depressing after a while. <img border="0" alt="[Laughin]" title="" src="graemlins/laughin.gif" />

And ZOOM!!! We're gonna zoom, zoom, zoom-a, zoom....we're gonna zoom-a, zoom-a, zoom-a, zoom. Come on give it a try.....We're gonna show you just why..... <img border="0" alt="[Laughin]" title="" src="graemlins/laughin.gif" />

Thanks you guys!!! :)

The Sleestacks. Those creepy guys they always used to be running away from? They used to freak me out too. That was a great old show.

Did the US ever get the Sooty & Sweep show? Sooty was a teddy bear and Sweep was this dog puppet that used to talk in squeeks. It was a really funny show.
