Nothing counts coming from you, Verily. You preferred Beakman to Bill Nye! [Mad]

Only because I knew Beakman first.

I also preferred Colonel Potter to Colonel Blake. I laugh at those who say otherwise! [Taunt]

The only thing I remember from Beakman was that there was a segment on digestion or swallowing or something, and Beakman was like "I need a bunch of saliva to show you this on this life-sized model," and the rat guy handed over a large jar of what was supposed to be spit. Eeewww. I didn't like Bill Nye because from about sixth grade on whenever a science teacher didn't feel like teaching they would put in a Bill Nye video.

[ROFL] I love Wishbone.

Oh, my favorite has to be Zooboomafoo. The Kratt Brothers don't talk down to kids, they learn lots about nature with some ecological awareness thrown in, plus it's NOT a cartoon. (No other reasons, of course [Blushing] )

I always wondered how Kunta Kinte got free . . . and how he got into space, for that matter . . .

Can I just mention the fact that I hated Eureka's Castle? I don't remember why exactly, but I hated it to the point of hysterics if I had to watch it. *shudders*

Annie-- I don't know how people survived their childhoods without Zoobilee Zoo. Actually, most of what I remember about it is loving it dearly, I don't remember a lot about the show itself. I was only a year old when it aired, so we must have rented the episodes. PLus, I always get it confused in my head with the episode of the Cosbys when Olivia makes a make-believe world where she's the bossy princess, or something like that. I do remember Talkatoo Cockatoo though, and I was a big fan. :-)

By the way, it was Rudy that made up that world. *nerd*

Does anyone remember Pinwheel? It's one of those really vague, very young memories. All I remember is the theme song ("Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around. Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found...") and a little cartoon short where these rabbits would spin their ears around like helicopters and fly around.

I remember Pinwheel! But does anyone remember a show called "Readalong"? I have even done internet searches for it and found *nothing*. There was a character named "Boot". I was pretty young, and I don't remember a lot. It was my first exposure to "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar".

Edit: Strangely enough, I did a search just now and did find out that it was a Canadian show. There was Granny and Pretty too....

*goes to look some more*

Found *a* site: Readalong

Ooo, for those of you who absolutely *loved* "The Great Space Coaster", check out this site! It has some video clips that will really take you back. [Smile]

Pinwheel taught me that if I start talking entirely in rhyme I should say the word "orange" over and over.
You know what's one of the best shows ever? The Magic School Bus.
