A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of buttah

[EZ_Xelbaaz]

You folks remember the PBS television show when we were kids, "Vegetable Soup"?

Also on there, there was an eerie show called "Outerscope" where these puppet kids traveled to different planets, getting themselves into scary situations.

I remember one episode they landed on some planet where they had to escape from some brooms

I remember I was scared but excited when I was a kid watching this show...

MAKE IT STOP!!

I had pushed memories of that show out of my mind, but Outscope freaked me out SO BAD. I would cry whenever it came on and my mom had to change the channel. Safehouse Minority Terror Squad Commander

Sadly, I don't remember either of those... but the quote in your title... wasn't that from Electric Company? My husband and I say that all the time when we're trying to figure out what we need from the store.

The other one I remember was the guy with the banana in his ear...

Guy 1: "You have a banana in your ear"
Guy 2: "What?"
Guy 1: "You have a banana in your ear"
Guy 2: "What?"

ad nauseum, until Guy 2 pulls the banana out.

oddly, i don't remember those. I never like PBS, even as a kid.

I remember those things from Electric Company - I never heard of Vegetable Soup or Outerscope (Back In Black)

Grandmaster Poisoner (250), Master Potter (195), Grandmaster Lush (200)

It's a cartoon from Sesame Street, a boy's mom sends him out to get groceries from the store.

That, and "Onetwo, threefourfive, sixseveneightnine, ten, eleven, twe-el-el-el-el-el-elllve" will never leave my mind. Edited by: Tabbran at: 3/19/04 1:13 pm

Yea, the quote is form Sesame Street, but Outerscope was truly a scary show for kids...

The trippy way the puppets moved, and looked almost life-like, etc.

I was always more of a 3-2-1 Contact kid. Especially when they played Bloodhound Gang shorts!

All I remember is not having cable. Mr. Rogers was boring. I didn't understand electric company. Reading Rainbow was only good until the theme song ended. 3-2-1 Contact I can't remember anything about. Sesame Street was pretty much the only cool thing on.

"Neeeeear..........far!..........neeeeeeear........ .......far!"

Hehe, I can still recite that grocery list line too. "A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter".

Now why couldn't I do the same for all those calculus formulas?

I liked 3-2-1 Contact but like Reading Rainbow, the beginning of the show was often the best part.

Electric Company wasn't that great but every now and then they were good for a laugh and I liked Letter Man. I liked a lot of animation really, even made my own flip books, hehe.

We didn't have cable until freshman year of high school so tv was slim pickins when I was young. Used to watch Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego though, and Ghost Writer.

As a matter of fact I have Rockapella - Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego on my winamp playlist. Hara

Oh you bastard, that stupid song is in my head now!! Hara

[EZ_Mordier]

I use that "loaf of bread" quote all the time when I'm going to the store also...it's definately from Sesame Street.

I liked 3-2-1 Contact, and loved the Bloodhound Gang shorts ("If you got the crime, we got the time...we're the Bloodhound Gange")

I recently worked with the producer from Reading Rainbow...she had all the original episodes on tape and I watched a few. Brought back memories.

One two three, ...four five six, ...seven eight nine, ...ten eleven twelve, and they gathered around at the lady bug picnic. They made a camp fire but the fire blew up, so they had to call on the fire truck...the ladybugs twelve at the lady bug picnic. They played jump rope, but the rope it broke, so they just sat around telling knock-knock jokes. The ladybugs twelve at the lady bug picnic.

It will never leave me.
