Gundrun, I remember Today’s Special. We (my brother, sister, and I) watched it everyday. We never had nightmares.

I have to throw “Hilarious House of Frightenstein” in there. No one seems to ever remember this one, but Vincent Price did the intro. It featured very bizzare characters like ‘the Maharishi’ and ‘the Oracle’ who were both fascinating and disturbing to the growing mind.

*shudders* Thanks now I’ll have nightmares for the rest of my life! Mr.Noseybonks might be related to Jigsaw but I think Jigsaw is less frightening than Noseybonks. That Mark Twain one was a little too morbid for me. What kinda children show has childrenn talking to an “angel” named satan? *shudders… again* *runs and hides*

I must be a horrible parent – I made the mistake of watching the clips while my 5-yr-old was in the room, and he laughed through every one of them, asking to see them again. So he has a twisted sense of humour, just like his mom. :) Cool-a-rama!

I remember HR Puffenstuff, which had a lot of costumed characters. The only nightmare-inducing part was Jimmy’s talking Magic Flute, which he kept in his pocket…oh, and the trees tht came alive. What about Lidsville, with Charles Nelson Reilly? That one was pretty creepy. Wonder what the creators (Sid & Marty Croft) were smokin’ back in the 70s?

This is going to open me up for cries of “RACIST” but I really don’t care.

What about the spanish language shows featuring women with very little clothing on?

The Latino part is not the part that’s wrong. It would be offensive even if it was produced by the whitest, blue-eyed UH-MERRICAN!

Could you imagine what would happen if a buxom blond in a g-string and bikini top did a duet with Elmo?

This one’s for the older generation. Remember Andy’s Gang with the nasty frog, Froggy who would pop up in a puff of smoke and say “pluck your magic twanger froggy.” There was something inately evil about him. And the black cat Midnight who was a real cat wasn’t a very likable cat either.

Dom- The guy who illustrated the stories and did voices was John Robbins. He had shows with different names, the ones I know are ReadIt and Cover to Cover.
