i was totally into wild kingdom
nazareth and little debbie too
do you see the connection?

Somehow I missed Jonny Quest as a kid. My brothers and I grew up with a black and white TV and no TV antenna until about '81. VHF channels? Cable? VHS player? Please. 

The other day I was remembering "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom." The smug and dapper host Marlin Perkins snickering at the animal wrangler Jim Fowler's dangerous scrapes with angry beasts. No, it wasn't In Living Color but it was still fun.

How did we survive the Bay City Rollers?

I think I remember this from the mid-60's.
It was my favorite back then growing up.
The only Hanna- Barbera cartoon I liked.

Off’nes Fenster präsentiert
Spatzenwolken, Himmelflattern
Wind bläst, meine Nase friert
Und paar Auspuffrohre knattern

Ach, da geht die Sonne unter
Rot, mit Gold, so muss das sein
Seh’ ich auf die Strasse runter
Fällt mir mein Bekannter ein

Prompt wird mir’s jetzt schwer ums Herz
Ich brauch’ nur Vögel flattern seh’n
Und fliegt mein Blick dann himmelwärts
Tut auch die Seele weh, wie schön

Natur am Abend, stille Stadt
Verknackste Seele, Tränen rennen
Das alles macht einen mächtig matt
Und ich tu’ einfach weiter flennen


(Ye-ye-ye-yeah!)

Nina Hagen - Naturträne:

How could you NOT watch a show with an intro like this?

(And obviously Jonny is Race's kid. Sheesh. Maybe he and Dr. Quest were really a couple?)

TDN
they could sing

(Three Dog Night—on Playboy After Dark):

TDN had such a great sound. They were mainstream but not at all wimpy. All three guys (the original members I'm guessing) could really sing. 

Playboy After Dark! Oooh! I'm sure that the show back in the day was a bit risque—something the adults might watch after the kids were in bed—but the clip is quaint for these times. Amazing how young James Brown looks in his brief appearance.
