Omg I remember missing the school bus 🚍 a few times for this show and getting a whooping for it. Lol the good ole days. I had to be about 5 or 6. I'm 45 now. Thanks for the video and the memories
Yeah ! Today's children including this generation of teenagers. Haven't had any television entertainment. Centered around fun, silly, creative, original, & imagination adventures.
I agree Kip! So glad to know that many of the people on here, of my age, feel the same way. I can watch these old broadcasts for hours. Like a time machine for what I now know to be the best time of my life.
me too. so magical. in those days ya had to mess with the rabbit ears to get clear signal. also made me think shit what about my homework im too tired to do.
While watching cartoons on UA-cam from that time that I saw or may have seen and not being as into them, I've come to realize the whole package with the commercials is what really makes up my nostalgia.
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.
It took my memory seven whole days a week to remember the name of this show I grew up on this show and I loved it this was a show I watched when I was too old to watch Romper Room I moved to this show. 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.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid when it was on WPIX-TV (channel 11) in New York City back around 1983 when this episode aired. This came from WTAF-TV, now a Fox station and it does include original commercials that you may remember.
This really took me back to the good ol' days of early morning kid shows...I remember watching this when I was little, along with Mr. Wizard's World. Thanks for the vid.
Wow. I've been trying to remember what this show was for decades and I finally found it. I was starting to wonder if I imagined all of it. I remembered the band and that it was a variety show of sorts. The muppets were hazy but it's all coming back now. It's like a door to an old dusty section of my memories has finally been unlocked. Nostalgia overload.
Used to watch this each morning, after working the late shift at the Air Force base. I liked drinking beer and looking at the cute girl, to relax and get to sleep.
The Hallowe'en cartoon is an excerpt from the Nelvana special "Witch's Night Out". Gilda Radner voiced the Witch, and Catherine O'Hara voiced Malicious.
I meant to say bring these cartoon's back on the tv now so children can really see what clean wholesome tv is all about the children of the world today deserve this.
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.
crankysaint Did you also know that the guy who played Danny is also the voice of the Big Red Chicken and the Grumpy Old Troll etc. on Dora the Explorer?
Oh, this was when they showed during the credits the various characters. They didn't do that in the first two seasons, which were the ones I watched. The later seasons were on later in the morning so I couldn't catch them.
Just watched the whole thing and can't believe I just went through a lot of memories of grade school. Now I realize that those puppets were really creepy. Love that part on 16:11 "Halloween, stick it in your end, dear"? LOL Is that what I heard? Man! Times have really changed, now everyone gets offended.
No news is good news without gary gnue I can't believe this I was wondering where in my memory basbasnk I remember this from but now I remember thanks for posting this its a blast from my earliest mermorys of waking up on Sundays morning early n our pbs station carried it I'm not sure on the date though maybe late 70s or first part of 80$ thanks again
Damn this takes me back to when i used to come home from school for lunch and watch The Great Space Coaster on Channel 32 here in Chicago great memories
This was on every morning after StarBlazers. Back in like 1982 probably. I really can't understand why I watched it. I like Baxster but I remember even as young kids we rendered to him as bastard. Becuase somehow that was a bad word we knew.
This looks like someone took one of Mom & Dad's vhs tapes, put some tape on the two holes on top, or bandaids if they couldn't find tape, Then recorded Saturday morning cartoons while they went out to play! LOL!
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.
where are those three actors now? Ray Stephens (December 14, 1954 - October 4, 1990) best known for starring in the 1980s TV series, The Great Space Coaster, as Roy.

DarkVoid This used to come on exactly a half hour before I had to be at school, so I was only able to watch about 15 minutes of it (my school was 3 blocks from my house). Used to piss me off, ESPECIALLY if I missed Goriddle or Gary!
The TV-29 station promos with Kaftwerk's "Transistor" in the background...fabulous. I always liked this show for having all sortsa 1970's flavor in its 1980's...was it some sorta haven for 1970's child-puppet show retirees or something?
Speaking as someone never grew up with this show and only knows it through a Family Guy gag, I find it a bit disjointed, but charming. 😁 Hope that preservation effort's been working out.
Anyone remember the gummy bears and r star blazers . Loved the Saturday morning cartoons didn't they used to have a Richie rich cartoon on back in the 80s .I still watched a lot of Tom and Jerry,Scooby doo. There was a show on and it was sort of like the fantastic four but one was a rock creature another was a rhinoceros that shot exploding rocks out its horn and there was this thing made out of a stretchy substance anyone remember the name of that show.
Indeed I do remember those shows. I have Gummi Bears on DVD and Star Blazers was showing on Netflix for a while. I preferred it over Robotech at the time, probably because Robotech seemed like a bigger story to start watching by jumping in the middle.
prg vidiot I know it's been awhile but I saw your comment about the herculoids.tried writing herculoids but my phone corrected and wrote tuberculosis? Anyway thank you cause I was trying to remember the name of that show but couldn't. Those were the days. I miss the 80's ,simpler times.have a.great day,God bless.
THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD SHOW! When I was a little kid, Gary Gnu was my imaginary friend.
Break dancing to what a feeling LOL love it old school TV was great!
OMG I thought I was the only one who remembered this. Thank you again.
Omg I remember missing the school bus 🚍 a few times for this show and getting a whooping for it. Lol the good ole days. I had to be about 5 or 6. I'm 45 now. Thanks for the video and the memories
Wow....this really warms my heart so much I could just cry. My childhood early mornings before school.
Great memories. I only watched this show because there was nothing else on. Thanks for this
Same…only thing on before heading off to Catholic School. Looking back on UA-cam, it makes me feel🥰. It’s cooler than I gave it credit for back then.
Words cannot describe how happy this made me! The show, the commercials... that was being young in the late 70's/early 80s at its best!
Yeah ! Today's children including this generation of teenagers. Haven't had any television entertainment. Centered around fun, silly, creative, original, & imagination adventures.
I agree Kip! So glad to know that many of the people on here, of my age, feel the same way. I can watch these old broadcasts for hours. Like a time machine for what I now know to be the best time of my life.
Wow... This brings me back.... So amazing
me too. so magical. in those days ya had to mess with the rabbit ears to get clear signal. also made me think shit what about my homework im too tired to do.

i actually used to love this show. i'm really glad you kept the commercials with it because it really brought back memories.
OMG, as nostalgic as the show is, the best part about this is the 80's toy commercials. Aweso...I mean, radical!!
While watching cartoons on UA-cam from that time that I saw or may have seen and not being as into them, I've come to realize the whole package with the commercials is what really makes up my nostalgia.
Memoriessssss. of my childhood. Loved this show.
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.
Heyyyy I'm from Philly😊 & yes I used to watch this in the morning before school arou d 80-82ish

It took my memory seven whole days a week to remember the name of this show I grew up on this show and I loved it this was a show I watched when I was too old to watch Romper Room I moved to this show.

I remember seeing this when I was a kid when it was on WPIX-TV (channel 11) in New York City back around 1983 when this episode aired. This came from WTAF-TV, now a Fox station and it does include original commercials that you may remember.
My god, how break dancing has evolved since the 80s. And we thought these moves were fresh. :)
This really took me back to the good ol' days of early morning kid shows...I remember watching this when I was little, along with Mr. Wizard's World. Thanks for the vid.
Holy shit! I have very vague memories of this show! Watching this is so weird! It’s almost like I dreamed this up!
This was my favorite show back in jr. High! Thank you 4 posting!

I'm really enjoying my alone time catching up on some childhood shows that I have forgotten about. Nice evening yet.
Wow. I've been trying to remember what this show was for decades and I finally found it. I was starting to wonder if I imagined all of it. I remembered the band and that it was a variety show of sorts. The muppets were hazy but it's all coming back now. It's like a door to an old dusty section of my memories has finally been unlocked. Nostalgia overload.

I use to watch this show when I was a kid.. Man!..Time flys when your having so much fun as kid.
Used to watch this each morning, after working the late shift at the Air Force base. I liked drinking beer and looking at the cute girl, to relax and get to sleep.

How awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this! Great!!! ! :)
I can't tell you how many times I was late to the bus looking at this show. lol
I have "Flashdance (What a Feeling)" on Just Dance 2014.
Too bad no kid now or adult gets stuff like this anymore!
It's never too late to start again!
Oh, this was when they showed during the credits the various characters. They didn't do that in the first two seasons, which were the ones I watched. The later seasons were on later in the morning so I couldn't catch them.
Man, this whole thing is 80`s nostalgia!
That Baxter clown gave me nightmares as a kid.......and now as an adult too. Damn it!
I didn't grow up with this show like my mom but I find it entertaining in many ways.
Just watched the whole thing and can't believe I just went through a lot of memories of grade school. Now I realize that those puppets were really creepy. Love that part on 16:11 "Halloween, stick it in your end, dear"? LOL Is that what I heard? Man! Times have really changed, now everyone gets offended.
I am smiling so hard, my cheeks hurt 🤣...I sang the whole intro song 😅
Me too! I started to sing it for my boyfriend and I knew it note for note and Word for Word. What a core childhood memory watching this is.🥰
The "Rocking with Rory" segment had the Rocksteady Dancers dancing to the Space Coasters' rendition of Irene Cara's "What a Feeling."
No news is good news without gary gnue I can't believe this I was wondering where in my memory basbasnk I remember this from but now I remember thanks for posting this its a blast from my earliest mermorys of waking up on Sundays morning early n our pbs station carried it I'm not sure on the date though maybe late 70s or first part of 80$ thanks again
Damn this takes me back to when i used to come home from school for lunch and watch The Great Space Coaster on Channel 32 here in Chicago great memories

This was on every morning after StarBlazers.
Back in like 1982 probably.
I really can't understand why I watched it. I like Baxster but I remember even as young kids we rendered to him as bastard. Becuase somehow that was a bad word we knew.
The creators were somking that good shit

Holy Shit! memories!!
As someone that watched this show when it was new and current....Creepy.Weird.. sorry i attempted to revisit my childhood. Big mistake.

Then recorded Saturday morning cartoons while they went out to play! LOL!

Sources?
They show Witch's Night Out! Great Halloween classic.
Too bad the "Witch Magic" song isn't played in its entirety...
It is Bazooey!!!! Holy shit, I haven't seen this in decades!!
Used to think it was important to watch this before school. No idea why now.
You can't go to school without g-nowing the g-news.
Well, when you are a kid you usually want to watch something before you have to go to school and bore yourself.
DarkVoid This used to come on exactly a half hour before I had to be at school, so I was only able to watch about 15 minutes of it (my school was 3 blocks from my house). Used to piss me off, ESPECIALLY if I missed Goriddle or Gary!
Yeah, you do! Don't try to pretend that you don't remember how good this shit felt watching this as a child! lol
It was that great theme song that you needed to hear.
The TV-29 station promos with Kaftwerk's "Transistor" in the background...fabulous.
I always liked this show for having all sortsa 1970's flavor in its 1980's...was it some sorta haven for 1970's child-puppet show retirees or something?
Speaking as someone never grew up with this show and only knows it through a Family Guy gag, I find it a bit disjointed, but charming. 😁
Hope that preservation effort's been working out.
damn I haven't seen this since I was 7 years old still remember this Gary canoe was always my favorite
Wow... yeah, I remember this... vaguely. I think it may be better that way.
My God the memories this shit came on mad early in the morning,like 6am
Koolest show ever!🤘
Anyone remember the gummy bears and r star blazers . Loved the Saturday morning cartoons didn't they used to have a Richie rich cartoon on back in the 80s .I still watched a lot of Tom and Jerry,Scooby doo. There was a show on and it was sort of like the fantastic four but one was a rock creature another was a rhinoceros that shot exploding rocks out its horn and there was this thing made out of a stretchy substance anyone remember the name of that show.
That was The Herculoids
Indeed I do remember those shows. I have Gummi Bears on DVD and Star Blazers was showing on Netflix for a while. I preferred it over Robotech at the time, probably because Robotech seemed like a bigger story to start watching by jumping in the middle.
They did indeed have a Richie Rich cartoon. It's on youtube.
prg vidiot I know it's been awhile but I saw your comment about the herculoids.tried writing herculoids but my phone corrected and wrote tuberculosis? Anyway thank you cause I was trying to remember the name of that show but couldn't. Those were the days. I miss the 80's ,simpler times.have a.great day,God bless.
