Example: I was babysitting my 5 year old god-daughter, the other day and it was surprisingly pretty nice out for this time of year (like 50ish and not snowing). She was complaining about being bored, so I suggeted, "Why don't you go ride your bike?" She seriously looked at me as if I had suggested that she go cartwheeling down the middle of the freeway or something equally crazy and dangerous. I remember my parents would let us walk to the store (like 3 blocks away and past a major street) at night with no problems (as long as there were like 3 of us). Weird. I guess times have changed. |

There was Alice, The Mad Hatter, and The Queen of Hearts and they were always singing! This came on I think before or following Dumbo's Big Top Circus. Does anyone remember Under the Umbrella Tree on Disney Channel? You know, there was a lady, and she lived in a house with the Iguana who lived on the bookshelf, the Bluejay whose house was out on the balcony, and the Gopher, whose burrow was behind the couch? Anybody? |

Anybody remember back when remote-control cars were new and there was a cord between the car and the remote so you had to follow the car around? "Just take a look...it's in a book...READING RAINBOOOOOOW! :D |

Hmmmm Back in the Day...
As a child: I had the Barbie Townhouse with the Elevator, the corvette and a full barage of Barbies where I cut their hair. I also had the black version of the "Sunshine Family"... And I took my brother's large GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip... I was able to watch "Battle of the Planets" and "Starblazers" two Animes that got me loving Manga... As a teen: I still watched all kinds of Cartoons. Mainly Anime. I was into art, science, dance, and pretty much partying... I could do that well... In fact had 2 raves where the police with a helicopter shut it down. I was into music, with the reel to reel. Did not get into too much TV editing. I learned on the TRS (trash) 80... And the internet communications did not happen until my Freshman year in college on a Commodore 64. Could have learned programming at a very early age, but that machine language and the hexadecimal processing pissed me off... I know some things in Fortran... Hey, if I knew back then, what I know now, I would be a billionaire... Interesting how life has its twists and turns... |

And yes, I vaguely remember Under The Umbrella Tree... |
Another thing I just thought of...
Lamb Chop's Play Along! woot. |
^^^Did anyone ever have Lamb Chop's underwear?
It's Lamb Chop's underwear, a special pair that you can wear without a care! |

How could people not know lamb chop? I'm in undergrad, and I know who Lamb Chop is. During recruitment my sisters and I were singing "the song that never ends" when we got punchy moving furniture at 2am....and everyone knew what it was an joined in |
AST, I think you, GammaPhi88 and I are all about the same age... maybe we're the last ones with decent memories? My younger brother and sister watched too, but they may not remember Lamb Chop as well.

The one where you had to call in to get your vidoe played at like... what? $2.99 a song? I wonder how many parents' phone bills were in the hundreds for that. |
*Double Dare. I can't be the only person in the world who ever wondered what that green Nickelodeon slime tasted like.
*I had a Cabbage Patch obsession growing up. I think I had like 7 or 8 of them. Remember the "Crimp & Curl" one? Her hair was like, specially treated yarn so when your curled it, it stayed. Then they started making them with actual hair, and I was like WTF? *When Disney movies were NOT ALL Pixar ones. Don't get me wrong, I love Finding Nemo & Wall-E, but I miss when movies like Aladdin came out and it was a HUGE deal to go see it. |
The Box, duh! lol
I sooo wanted to be on Double Dare!! I have 5 Cabbage Patch Dolls. I had the recepie for it: water, flour, green food coloring, I think. KSUVi: I'm talking before Aladdin, which used computer animation (the Cave of Wonders). I'm talking Oliver and Company (HOW did it get to be the 20th anniversary of its release?) with Billy Joel doing the soundtrack!! Why should I wor-ray, tell meh, why should I caayyyyyyarrree?
