Sadly, neither one of us can remember anything more than that! LOL! So now we both had fuzzy memories of this kids show and it's driving us crazy trying to figure out what show it was. I'm to scared to type "pile of clay on stool" into a google search, LOL, so I'm turning to you all. Anyone else remember this show? I thought the thing was in a hotel lobby or something like that but she says I'm crazy. Please tell me someone else remembers this show and can tell us what it was! Thanks guys!

Over here, if I talk about Mr Rogers, the Elcctric Company and Fat Albert, they don't have a clue what I am going on about. And when they talk about shows here like the Clangers, Bag Puss, Bazel Brush, the Moomins etc. I don't have a clue either. Thank goodness Disney is fairly universal.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Gumby and Pokey were favorites of mine. Tinkerbell819, this was not Gumby and Pokey. davewasbaloo! I am so glad you kinda remember it too! Now, what WAS it?! LOL! (Mr. Rogers, Electric Company and Fat Albert were THE best! Ohmigosh, I totally want to start a 70s/80s cartoon thread now!)

I just about died when Family Guy spoofed that in their Wal-Mart episode. I vaguely remember The Electric Company since it was on their way out when I was in preschool/kindergarten. I do remember the Spider-Man segments...

You can remember the texture of what you're sitting on while you watch the show. You might remember what you usually wore when you watched the show. You liked that outfit. You're watching the show. Do you like the pile of clay? Does he talk? What does he sound like? Who is he talking to? Where is his stool? Is it in a room? Is it in an alley? Does it move around from place to place? You will remember more about this experience every time you relax. You'll remember more about the show show with the pile of clay. Just relax. Relax. And when I count to three, you'll feel refreshed. One. Two. You will remember. Three.

He then mentioned something to me about being adopted... Ubbi Dubbi! Both ZOOM and Electric Company were featured on the VH-1's first installment of I Love the 70s...

I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy") but I forgot to turn the voice on so instead of being witty, that part of post #8 just looks stupid! LOL. I guess I'm only funny in my own head.
