Have I mentioned that I am a massive Retro TV and Culture Repository?
I think I have.
But for the record. I am.
Perhaps that’s why I enjoy shows such as the Family Guy (just made fun of by South Park) and Robot Chicken.
Sure, Family Guy is a Cartoon in the form of the Warner Bros shorts. The plot is often stopped for one off jokes that don’t move the story line along at all. Most often the little one off jokes are the one s that make me roll around on the floor, laughing.
Recently, they did a one off that *made* me remember a TV show that I had safely forgotten. One that probably deserved to be tucked away, far into the subconsious.
Now it’s here to stay.
Anyone Remember the Great Space Coaster? because, believe you me, I do now.
This show started with an animated beginning that looks to have been stollen from the likes of The Kroft brothers (Who made such Great shows as HR Puf-N-Stuf, Lidsville, and Land of the Lost *As a side note, if you garage sale, find one of these lunch boxes, let me know. Please*).
I think you can appreciate why this show drew my attention.
Much like a moth to the fire.
It’s a mixture of Puppets, and a drug trippin intro. So, here are a few screenshots from both intros, as well as a link to Retrojunk (A site that has all the theme videos to your favorite 70s, 80s and 90s tv shows. Excellent)
And lastly, the wonderful, wonderful Lyrics:
It’s The Great Space Coaster, Get on board.
On The Great Space Coaster, We’ll explore.
A comet ride of fantasy,
To a place where dreams fly fast and free.
With new friends and new things to see,
We’ll spin you through the galaxy.
On The Great Space Coaster, Wo-o-oah.
On The Great Space Coaster, Off we go.
Get on board, Step inside,
Soaring for a magic ride.
Rowing toward the other side,
Where only rainbows hide,
On The Great Space Coaster, Oh-oh-oh.
On The Great Space Coaster, Get on board.
On The Great Space Coaster, Get on board.
On The Great Space Coaster, Off we go.
Don’t say I never gave you anything…
