Good Times I remember the micro machine man used to be on this show talking super fast I'm from Chicago so this show used to come on at 6 in the morning.

    Ah, the happy memories. A few fun facts: The show was distributed by a division of Hasbro, which helps explain some of the commercials. The guy who played Danny is now an executive producer at Nickelodeon and was a co-creator of Dora the Explorer. The guy who played Roy became the lead singer of the Village People in 1985, and later died of AIDS.

    My left ear thanks you. I have never seen this one or those little sno cone characters either. I only saw 1982-1983 season while I lived in Phoenix. I don't know if ran the next year there, I had early bird classes then so had to leave a LOT earlier. Oh yeah, and I walked up hill both ways to school... not really but my car died and I really did have to walk 5 miles there and back, and I swore I would tell my kids, well, you readers get to be my kids.

    Love the commercials. Really triggered echoes.
    That girl singing and playing is phenomenal. I wish we saw more of her. Such a full, clear voice. I know one of the black guys in that role went on to be in Robocop and in a lot of rolls, I even saw him recently in some TV ad.
    The show is good hearted and they really seem to try. Mabey they tried too hard, it seemed to be doing a lot of things. When they went into that witch cartoon, I had to scroll and see was it the same TV show; I believe I wondered that same thing when I was a kid watching. And I don't know how I felt as a kid watching, but that giant head character was making me uneasy, just seemed somewhat bizarre. But, kids think differently, and that's who it's for. I thank them for their efforts to entertain kids in a positive way and wish them all well and thanks for the upload.
