Some hard to find memories

Amazing what you can find on youtube. Back in the early days of cable there were just a ton of old cartoons, or hard to find cartoons on TV. Here are either episodes or intros of some I found.

Willo o the Wisp - someone was on crack when they invented this one.



Noddy - oldskool noddy with stop motion animation



3-2-1 Contact - Best science show ever...



I'll stand on your fingers Mark...

Mr. Wizard - the next best science show... need another Timmy



The Wheelies - again, on crack but so totally awesome...



Starblazers - Every morning before school



Man, the memories. Any weird shows you remember from your youth that have popped up on Youtube?

My siblings and I were all Noddy fans... I'm pretty sure that was brought on by our English background. I seem to remember books that my Nana brought back from England for us.

Not that it's a TV show, but we were all VERY OBSESSED with the movie, The Last Unicorn. I recently came across a copy, and sang this song to my brother on the phone while in Edmonton, [Walkin' Man's Road] and he remembered the whole movie. [He was probably 4 or 5 when we went through a year of renting it from the library non-stop].

The big bad Red Bull in that was just awesome. That's just an awesome flick, out on DVD I just discovered the other day, you can rent it at Rogers.

Ah...good 'ol knowledge network! I remember 'The Green Forest' with Sammy Blue Jay...I think it was an adapted japanimation cartoon. Also, i remember this strange cartoon with talking houses, i think it was only in 10 min. segments....ringin' any bells?

The talking houses are either from Sesame Street or the Muppet show. I know for sure though that it's one of them... and that they are around on DVD, I am pretty sure I have em on my Sesame Street Old Skool DVDs
