Re: "Small kid" time TV...Off the Top of My Head
The cartoons that they used to play on Checkers & Pogo were also pretty good. Anyone remember the following?
Speed Racer
yes!
Go, speed racer. GO!
he'd yell at the audience;
DON"T tell me what to DO!
The Thunderbirds
thunderbirds are GO!
new movie on that stuff out now.
My fave parody;
peter cook and dudley moore; pricelless takeoff on the marionette genre.
Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons
yea. Loved their hit single;
"Ninety Nine Tears" gonna cry crycrycry, now...
Princess Knight
Prince ESS knight!?
da HELL!?
how gay is THAT!?
I think Morgan White played the attorney general for a while on "Hawaii Five-0".
Youn KNOW it bwah!
He did!
His "Pogo Pogue" character started off on KGMB radio in the early and mid 1960s. Prior to the debut of "Checkers & Pogo" he was hosting an afternoon movie on Channel 9 called "Dialing For Dollars". I think they would call a random household and ask you some kind of question; "are YOU a random household?"
and if ya said "duuuhh...whuzz dat!?"
he'd SLAM the phone down!
hoo what fun!
and if you knew the answer, you'd win the cash prize for that day.
a whole dollar!. Or as many pennies you could pull out of a jar clenched in yer greedy little fist!
Anyone remember Lippy Espinda and Captain Honolulu?
Lippy was great. he invented shaka.
he had Lippys lanai Theatah.
introduce his used cars AND the afternoon movie at once!
he was in a charity race one day on I tink kalakaua. he did that kine thing alla time.
And as he was jogging along... someone yelled from the crowd on da sidewalk:
"Eh LIPPY! You run bettah den youah used cars!"
ho da mammories!
why don't we have characters li dat nowdays!
aku, sammy amalu, granny goose, lippy, lucky luck, tokyo rose, danno, Ghandi.......
