Schoolhouse Rock and Afterschool Specials. I have all the Schoolhouse Rocks on DVD! I love 'em! "Interjections", "Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here", "3 Is A Magic Number" are a few of my faves! :)

Schoolhouse Rock...
I know all of these other shows..! I do, but I can't remember anything specific about them..
I think Vegetable Soup was kinda weird/bizarre/scary, for some reason...

In The News
Mulligan Stew
Inside/Out
Bread And Butterflies
Villa Alegre

They did bring back Zoom but it just wasn't the same-just like they did with the Mickey Mouse Club. :\'(

You are so lucky! I would love to see that again along with that funky theme song :)

I think the "Puppet Shows" would not fly to well with today's kids. The old S&MK shows, New Zoo Review would seem horribly old and outdated today.
If they were to do anything like that today, they would probably feature computer animated creatures.
In the 1970's (before cable), I mostly spent my days watching PBS. In an era with only 4 TV stations, your only other choice during the day was soap operas.

Does anyone here remember "Mulligan's Stew" (PBS show from early/mid '70's)?
Really corny/cheesy show about a young band singing bad (and I mean really bad) songs on diet and nutrition...
Pure comedy now, but would love to see it again, thats my vote.

Yes, I remember it. If you look back, you will actually find it in my list. ;D
And believe it or not, I still find myself singing the 4-4-3-2 song, even 30 years later.

afterschool special, definitely. although it would be interesting to see how it would change for the current culture. i mean, growing up is definitely way different than it was back in the 70s.
