The drunken Dad in YCDTOTV was crazy gross so it was ahead of its time seeing that most kids at the time were still watching Leave it to Beaver or the Brady Bunch. The Third Eye was just creepy (I remember hiding at the beginning or when Mr. Wilderforce starts to sweat and his face melts off..or when Ms. Crabtree turns into a stone.. Remember the skeleton lady during the opening credits..."PERISSHHH ROTHGO!) Anyone else want to find the original actors to see if they want to remake other series in the 3rd Eye please let me know. Mr. Wilberforce could use a facelift.Nickelodeon Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387436920231006523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032199739562323686.post-85853375919290687002013-11-26T12:56:42.453-08:002013-11-26T12:56:42.453-08:00I have a ton of classic nick memories to share.
I...I have a ton of classic nick memories to share. <br />I used to enjoy watching Pinwheel for the entire 5-6 hours it was on, until my older sister often told me that she wanted to watch her show. I was at the VCR hoping that they would play my favorite cartoon short, as I would know they would play it, when they aired clips about that subject. Like Eating, Clocks, Pencils, Birthdays.<br />I vaguely remember Magic Coco, as I developed a crush on her when they showed a video clip of Coco getting ready for the Summer and she gets dressed in fast motion within her winter clothes, and after the narrator corrects her, she then gets undressed and puts on the summer clothes. Of course she was wearing a full black tights type of thing. My favorite cartoons were Krtech (the little mole) Charlie and his climbing tree, and the Czech cartoon about a cat and dog. But the most memorable were the animated stories of puppets made out of string, as a boy and a girl attempted to get a flower that rang like a bell. I would love to see it again, but don't know what it was called. Maybe "The runaway bell?" One other cool animated movie I saw was a woman reading a poem about colors, as she started out by asking "What is White?" <br />Of course the movies showing how cuckoo clocks and pencils were made were fascinating to me. Oh I almost forgot about Hattytown tales. I loved that show, but especially loved the organ song used when Sancho fell asleep trying to use his magic hat to grant everyone's wishes. <br /> Nickelodeon did show short films to fill time inbetween shows called "Breakaway." Mostly I remember Robert Swarthe's animated movie Kick me playing, the animated film to Fatts Waller song "Your Feets to Big." <br />Other shows I enjoyed was the Little Koala, and my favorite episode was called the Mood Godess, as they played a song I think was called Arizona Sunset as Diana the moon goddess danced in the moonlight, which in reality was the daughter of a new neighbor that just moved in. <br />Do you remember these shows, Kidsworld, Beyond Belief, that's amazing, nick arcade, U to U? I loved it when Beyond belief showed the inside of the clock tower of Big Ben, and the musical silver swan. Kidsworld had an amazing report on the melody bells, which I remember to this very day. More memories to come.J.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14776230377794486016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032199739562323686.post-69676940872074041462012-12-01T20:06:47.985-08:002012-12-01T20:06:47.985-08:00I emailed that part of this interview to Jim Mairs...I emailed that part of this interview to Jim Mairs from Kids’ Writes (he was the blond guy who played the guitar) and imagine my surprise when I checked my email the next day and found this email from Mr. Mairs. <br /><br />~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~<br /><br />Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:25:46 -0700<br />Subject: Re: Classic Nickelodeon Wednesday – 13 From: Jim Mairs <br />To: peggysueclay@hotmail.com <br /><br />Well, this took me by surprise.
