Mike Sterling at Progressive Ruin posted this clip, which triggered a memory left untapped since... God, I have no idea.
This fits somewhere in the swirl of memory from my formative years of:
The Letter Men
Sigmund the Sea Monster (recently optioned for a feature film, btw)
Banana Splits
Gigglesnort Hotel
The Great Space Coaster
The New Zoo Revue (which they were still airing in Houston on Sunday mornings as recently as last year)
and all the other forgotten children's programming of the 1970's that was being generated by counter-culture deadbeats with a budget.
Seeing this clip, which I had completely forgotten about, caused such a rush of memory that I got a bit nauseous, and not just because of the liberal use of color and frames rate in the video.
It's all still trapped up there. Sometimes something jars it free when you least expect it.
