yeah i was so excited when they came out with those shows on DVD. a must have, those were good clean fun and great family Shows to watch with the kids. alot better than these Sponge Bob crap on now. I am gonna be getting that set, along with Eurekas castle... Anything HENSON! Jim's the Man, or was the man. what can i say, i have a thing for puppets.

 

Me and my friends still sing the the theme song on occasion hehe

 

Haha, yeah that would make sense too. I'm just amazed I could recall that much of the song.

 

its howdy doody time

 

I remember CK in B&W! Only 3 networks! How about the National Anthem at 12:30 am when the station signed off?

Fraggle Rock, I think it was out while I was in HS but I was to busy partying in the woods.

Had to laugh when I read Stu_Gotti and jmiller20874 used the term "Old School" in reverance to FR

 

"Old School" is just a state of mind. To someone 80 years old, WW2 was old school, Fraggle Rock was yesterday. I remember the national anthem coming on some stations but not all and it was probably closer to 2:00am when they did it. At 27, something that came on during the early 80's is old school to me.

 

Don't worry, they will also someday experience the odd feeling of having something they consider to be up to date be called ancient by someone else. Time accelerates...

Fraggle Rock was barely on the edge of my consciousness, as I had never seen the program. I had to look it up on IMDB to find out when it had run.

Since it is about 20 years in the past, I suppose that it is now "classic TV", as opposed to "vintage TV" like the B&W Rod Sirling Twilight Zone and Earle Stanley Gardner Perry Mason.

One cool thing about the proliferation of networks is that a lot of the vintage stuff is being re-aired regularly.
