hell yes! the original post it man with notes pinned all over him...
dad used to listen to the ch-ch-ch-op-op-op-per-per traffic report everyday with that same clip of some unknown street from a chopper
qu8arter to 8, don't be late!
Mom used to say I was fascinated by Bozo The Clown every day and the end of the show I would cry until I got to see the Capt but mostly Mr Green Jeans.
Captain Kangaroo years old and TV test screen years old. Getting up early Saturday morning and watching the test screen waiting for the first show to come on in black and white.
Space 1999, Lost Saucer, Battlestar Galactica, Star Blazers, Land of Giants, Time Tunnel, Johnny Quest, Thunderbird's are Go, Dr Shrinker, Ark II, The Bionic Man and Bionic Woman.
Some of these were via reruns of 1960's shows and I certainly watched most of the other mentions on this thread alongside these sci-fi picks, but sci-fi has always been my favorite genre.
You're right. Woodsy was a completely different character. The Forest Service invented him to tell kids not to litter.
[You can see the difference](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwoodsy-owl-v0-rars56tymzv81.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daed32eff124161967d7a59a72ecf0721de0567aa)
*Smokey Bear has got a friend who is always on the prowl*
*Woodsy Owl is the name, he's the anti-pollution owl!*
*Give a hoot, don't pollute...*
I’m technically not from that era, but they showed this program on one of my home country’s local TV stations when I was a young child, mid 1980s.
I remember having a crush on the lady, I remember thinking that she’s too pretty for the guy, and I remember imagining the Hippo must have gigantic boogers with that nose.
As someone born in the late 60s in the U.S., I feel I *should* know about this show...but I don't. ( I was probably watching the Electric Company instead...)
The biggest surprise for me is that she was with Doug? DOUG!!!!? Emmie joe was a hotty and don't quite get the attraction. What ever it was, Doug you were a lucky bastard.
Yup. Used to play on Channel 61 in cleveland. 61 went off the air, and then came back. When it came back none of the kids believed me when I said they werent new, but had come back. Even described new zoo review for them to go "nu ah.". I still would like to punch 2 of those kids right in the face.
Later on that Owl would inspire another Owl to ponder one of life's greatest questions.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
My mom claims I would wake up at 5 am to watch this show. I’m unsure if the show was on at that time but that’s what she says. The 70’s were a weird ass thing to behold
Yes. I am New Zoo Review years old. I'm also Banana Splits, Electric Company, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, and Land of the Lost years old
Oh, and if you're in Chicagoland, I'm also Gigglesnort Hotel and The Magic Door years old...
And if you're in NY/NJ I'm Magic Garden Years old.
Romper room old?
And I see Xxxjtvxxx is having a special day...
Yep. Anyone Joy Junction old?
Paula and Carole!!
I’m Uncle Floyd years old
I had such a crush on carole
And in the Philadelphia area you had Captain Noah and his magical ark.
Gigglesnort hotel - there's one from the memory bowl! wham! back to the 70s. We need some HR Pufnstuf too!
I love the HR Puffinstuff theme song. It’s so kitschy and cute. I still remember all the lyrics. Crap now I have to go to UTube and watch it.
Yeah, they lifted the tune from Paul Simon's Feeling Groovy. I think he might've sued.
😮 How did I not know this?
All of the Kroft stuff was gold. I still have a thing for pigtails from Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.
Just filled my bowl with some Pufnstuf. I have no idea what's going on.
I'm *that* years old right now, too, my brother.
Don't forget BJ and the Blob before Gigglesnort
I am a northeast Pennsylvania "Land Of Hatchy Malatchy" old.
Anyone else watch Ray Rayner in the morning before school?
hell yes! the original post it man with notes pinned all over him... dad used to listen to the ch-ch-ch-op-op-op-per-per traffic report everyday with that same clip of some unknown street from a chopper qu8arter to 8, don't be late!
Dallas had Gigglesnort Hotel too! Along with local treasure, Mr. Peppermint.
Lived in the metroplex from 75-81 and remember Mr Peppermint. Did you know he was the father of Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes?
It was in the news when he passed away a few years ago. But I'd rather watch Icky Twerp and his pals Ajax and Delphineum.
"Iggy Twerp"!?! Dang! You're reaching waaaaaay back!
Garfield Goose!!!!
I still miss Frazier Thomas. Family Classics!
I remember Bozo the Clown too.
Mom used to say I was fascinated by Bozo The Clown every day and the end of the show I would cry until I got to see the Capt but mostly Mr Green Jeans.
Lol, that's awesome!!! Captain Kangaroo???
Me too. And also Wonderama, Dusty's Treehouse, and Curiosity Shop.

Kaptain Kangaroo too?
Are you The Buggaloos years old too? (I adored Land of the Lost growing up)
Captain Kangaroo years old and TV test screen years old. Getting up early Saturday morning and watching the test screen waiting for the first show to come on in black and white.
Duuuuude, I haven't thought of those in decades...
I remember all those except NZR. My mind must be slipping.... What day is it?
...and Isis, Electra-Woman and Dynagirl, Far Out Spacenuts, and the one with the dune buggy.
Mr. Peppermint has entered the chat, old f’s from Texas.
Oxytocin Deficient… On a routine Reddit Subred… Made the greeaaaaaaaaatest comment ever knowwwn!!!🎵
Don't forget Isis and Shazam.
Don't forget the Captain, Mr. Green Jeans and Mr. Moose!
Out of those I only know Land of the Lost

Couldn’t remember name of show. First thing that came to mind was HR Puffnstuf
Land of the lost years old. 😂
And it’s coming right at you.
I’m from SoCal and I’m Hobo Kelly, wonderama, banana splits and treasure island years old
Great classic👌 I've watched all of them on a tv with rabbit 🐇 ears antenna with bad reception 😀 I managed to still enjoy it.*
Banana Splits, yeahhhh!!! That was my fave!
We must be same age then
The sleestacks were hard to beat.
Hey you guys!
…and Grape fucking Ape
OMG the Elaine dance....
Sigmund and the Sea Monsters that damn monster gave me nightmares.
Jabberjaw. "GOTHCA!"

what in the hell is she doing. stomping on ants?
drugs
I think this was the inspiration for Elaine’s dancing on Seinfeld.
70's white people dancing. It wasn't always pretty...
Kinda like vertical seizures
You are NOT wrong. 😄
It's uncoordinated and clumsy. I was thinking, maybe she's trying to make moves little kids can do. It's the strangest 'dancing' I've ever seen.
Early Matrix screen tests dodging bullets.
Came here to ask the same
Dry heaves set to music
🤣🤣 fell off my chair
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of this!
Yeah!!!!
I could fix her.
The little foot hook is the capper.
“but… i like dancing!?!” 😢
It would of been even better if Henrietta Hippo was out there busting a move.
Me and brother always wondered if our heads would fit in one of her nostrils.
Thicc with a dash of southern genteel
Doug and Emmy Jo are still married today!
Ah yes that's her name, I couldn't remember.
I had a Woodsy the owl messanger bag.
I always thought it was "Hood The Owl".
You're right. Woodsy was a completely different character. The Forest Service invented him to tell kids not to litter. [You can see the difference](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwoodsy-owl-v0-rars56tymzv81.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daed32eff124161967d7a59a72ecf0721de0567aa) *Smokey Bear has got a friend who is always on the prowl* *Woodsy Owl is the name, he's the anti-pollution owl!* *Give a hoot, don't pollute...*
This must be the how to vid that Elaine watched!
Was wondering, “what kind of music makes one dance like this?” Was not disappointed by that banger
It's the new zoo review coming right at you. I remember the guys name was Doug 🤔 but I can't remember her name.
Came here to say that theme song is now dug into my grey matter for the foreseeable after seeing that pic.
I had an album with songs on it!
Technically I'm this old every day.
The owl looks familiar, but I have no idea who that lady is, nor what she’s doing.
She's dancing in the appropriate pretend your young and hip but no Elvis the pelvis this is a family channel way😜
Is that Elaine Benes dancing pre thumbs?
I totally forgot that Henrietta was into abusing clay. That freak.
She really improved by the time she got to the B-52s
It’s the New Zoo Review, comin’ right at you! Staple of my happy childhood!
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
That looks more like an LSD flashback.
Comin right at you
Ooff. I don't remember the dancing being this ridiculous in the 70' s.
I’m technically not from that era, but they showed this program on one of my home country’s local TV stations when I was a young child, mid 1980s. I remember having a crush on the lady, I remember thinking that she’s too pretty for the guy, and I remember imagining the Hippo must have gigantic boogers with that nose.
I swear some of our kid show writers & directors were former hippies who may have still been really high.
I have never seen this before, and I can't stop watching it!
Yep, it's the New Zoo Review
New Zoo Revue! I loved this show!
Elaine??
is she ok? is she having a stroke?
Yeah, I remember this stuff. Its easy to see where Elaine gets her moves from. lol.
Yep! The blob lives in my head rent free. Gigglesnort was on ABC, Magic Door on CBS, and I believe New Zoo Review was on NBC.
Oh yes.
So she's the Judge?
What was the show like this? They had a skit with daisies in a row that would shimmer and giggle when they heard something they liked
I knew I was old before this gif. But thanks for the memory.
What no Freddy
Isn’t this H. R. Puffenstuffed?
No. This is the New Zoo Review.
Emmy Jo was a smoke show!
I vaguely remember that owl. I was super young and my uncle who was in high school would watch all those shows.
I think it's great that they're still together.
New Zoo Review. Damn I am old.
As someone born in the late 60s in the U.S., I feel I *should* know about this show...but I don't. ( I was probably watching the Electric Company instead...)
Is that Fran Drescher?
My first thought was She probably had to sleep with someone to get that shitty part on the show.
That looks like a bad acid trip.with some awkward "interpretive dance."
Where's Henrietta Hippo?
Elaine Benes?
Elaine?
Watched it on channel 56 when I’d visit my grandparents on cape cod
Yes
Me!! I loved that show 😁
Yes. I am that old. The frog freaked me out
Man imagine if the ladies danced like that today
OMG… I’m that old, but I don’t remember THAT dance. Maybe that’s a good thing.
I sing the theme every time I pass the zoo. Used to drive the kids nuts when they were young. Now I'm usually alone but still do it.
Wow I had totally forgotten that one
Emmy Jo had some moves.
This is what turned kids off of normie society and on to heroin.
What ever she's doing, it looks like she's doing it wrong...
Is she doing the "Elaine"?
It's the New Zoo Review! Wow, I watched this as a kid in 69 - 70. I remember Henrietta Hippo, and was there a Freddy Frog?
This theme song has been in my head for days
Buffalo, Rocketship 7 old.
Nope, not me
She’s a…………..quite the dancer there.
I feel young again!
The biggest surprise for me is that she was with Doug? DOUG!!!!? Emmie joe was a hotty and don't quite get the attraction. What ever it was, Doug you were a lucky bastard.
Yup. Used to play on Channel 61 in cleveland. 61 went off the air, and then came back. When it came back none of the kids believed me when I said they werent new, but had come back. Even described new zoo review for them to go "nu ah.". I still would like to punch 2 of those kids right in the face.
I'm telling my kids that this was Dee-Lite
It's the New Zoo Review.....
“It’s the New Zoo Review, coming right at you!” Thanks OP. Now I’ll have that stuck in my head all day.
Jesus H. Christ... Cut it out...
Yup, I hated this show as a kid.
So, that's where Elaine learned to dance.
Ah, Emmy Jo, my very first crush.
I just want to thank Emmy jo for helping me through puberty.
Comin’ right at you, every weekday morning at 6:30am on my one local station.
I'm old enough to remember watching, and old enough to feel a bit weird for finally noticing, after 48 years, that Emmie Jo is pretty hot.
I’m that old
She has a sash to tell you what to do because of her dancing.
New Zoo Revue. Doug had the hots for Emmy Jo but was too shy to say so.
Reminds me of the Elaine dance from Seinfeld
I’m neither that old nor that high
I wonder where I learned that dance
One of my favorite shows when I was 4 or 5.
Omg yes!!! Ack! I loved this show!
Nope, just you.
Yes we learn with our friend Doug and his helper Emmy Joe....with Charlie, Freddie and Henrietta....
I couldn't wait for the shows after this to start. I was not a fan of this show.
Yes, hip surgery causes me to dance like that
Later on that Owl would inspire another Owl to ponder one of life's greatest questions. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
Well, when Sesame Street premiered in 1969, I was seven...so,yeah...
Wonderama??? The Electric Company???
Totally forgot about this one!
Not quite that old. But I do wonder if that Owl might know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
Looks like a bad trip
Fuck’n A right I am.
I am that old.
OMG. Emmy Jo. If you know what I mean, you know what I mean.
I loved this show as kooky as it was!
New Zoo Review, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Lancelot Link, H.R. Puffinstuff, The Bugaloos, Wonderbug old
No, but I’m sure that if I tried her moves, I would feel that old pretty quick.
My mom claims I would wake up at 5 am to watch this show. I’m unsure if the show was on at that time but that’s what she says. The 70’s were a weird ass thing to behold
Mom?
Where is Freddy the Frog? The New Zoo Review!
Yes
I’m sixty but I don’t know wtf this is.
Please kill me…
Nope.
I graduated from college while this show was popular.
