Just wanted to share something with you

*****Get ready Grab the goodies and sit back and enjoy *****

Wow, I was floating around on you tube and had a funny thought. The other day I was talking to my sister about all the shows we watched when we were kids. I remember running home after school to try and catch the show either before it began or before it ended.
Shows like Sesame Street, Zoom, Mr. Rogers and most of all we can't forget....
Here's a hint: Morgan Freeman made his acting debut here on this T.V. show, Can you guess what it is?

Here are the openings From seasons 1-5 It's funny how they all change.

I remember this skit the most. Looking back I learned a lot from it.

Here's another T.V. show, it's geared towards science Can you guess what it is before you click on it?

I loved those shows. I just wanted to share and maybe get a smile from a few of these. It's sun to Reminisce.
IMHO-There were definitely more educational shows back then. Now you have to really dig deep to find them. It's so funny, now my daughter enjoys watching ZOOM. It still has potential

Thanks for letting me share

If you have any you would like to add. Please by all means do so Can't wait to see what you've got

Sorry mr. Rodgers, sesame street and zoom were not even thought of when I was a child. I don't remember much of my childhood but when my brothers and sisters get to talking about tv shows its about Kukla Fran and Ollie, the three stooges and roy rodgers, dale evens, pecos bill, Hop Along Cassidy, Fat albert, A Family Affair, brady bunch, partredge family, Wild Kingdom and the Wonderful Workd of Disney, Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket, The Monkeys, and someone called "Whitchy Poo"

Those are classic showas. I remember Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch as well. I am 33 and those were like watching I guess 7th Heaven and The Osbournes. Am I wrong? I as a teen watched 90210 and Melrose place.

more like 7th heave. they aren't reality shows like the osbornes.

Basically made up familys -

the brady bunch a woman with three girls and a cat marries a guy with three boys a house keeper and a dog and the result is a show about how they are learning to live together as a blended family unit and normal everyday problems that children those ages have as they grow up greg going out on dates, jan being a middle child tattle tale cindy, marsha being popular getting mouth braces and so on.

the partridge family - a sincgle mom and 5 kids making a living as singers - the mom on the show is played by Shirley Jones and the oldes boy played by Shirley Jones real life stepson David Cassidy, Another well known actor that played one of the children is Danny Bonaduchey, He played the go getter make money quick schemer.

Oh... My... Word!!! Most of my growing up was done by the time those came along. My kids were little then but I sure do remember them!! I knew immediately what the one you're asking us to guess was!

SIGH! In some ways, I wish it was still "back then."

[kimthecatlover]

I was eleven years old when Electric Company made its debut. I loved the funny stuff on EC...and a few of the show's actors were alumni of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In which is another show I watched as a kid...but my fave show was 'Emergency', because when I was a teenager I was interested in rescue/paramedic stuff..and oh yeah I had a crush on Randolph Mantooth aka 'Johnny Gage'.

I remember Zoom! I am pretty sure it still plays. I remember the theme song and letsssss Zoom! Zoom, Zoom. ZOOm! Hey I'm Kayley (she plays her Sax) and I'm Buzz (he plays his drums) Zoom ZOOM! I am Caroline (She opens a closet full of toys) I forget most of it, I remember her cute little black ponytail and Kayleys's green shirt with the overalls. There was Kenny, and I forgot the rest.
One thing i always thought was neat was how on the show when they do their activities it sounds so crisp and smooth then you do them in real life and it sounds different. I also remember the delicious rainbow cake! Everytime I eat cake or something really sweet I think of the rainbow cake on Zoom. I also remember Fanny Dooley!, Fanny Dooley likes shirts but hates clothes, if you get it send us your ideas at (then they do their dance for the address) ha ha ha ! Thanks for reminding people of that!

I also remember Between the lions, it must have been a great show or something because I used to watch it all the time and was reading easy chapter books in first grade while everyone else was learning what silent e is! My favorite was KeKey the girl lion and the Dancin smarty pants guy. HE still cracks me up! Awwwwww those were magical days!
