    I loved The Great Space Coaster! Anyone remember Frannie, the very pretty 16 year old brunette singer/guitar player/female lead of the show? Frannie use to play many practical jokes on Puppet Goriddle Gorilla. Frannie used to tickle Goriddle and you used to see a gold ring on her ring finger while she was tickling him. Frannie was played by the very talented singer/actress Emily Bindiger. Please sign the bring back the great space coaster online petition @ http://www.petitiononline.com/TGSC because it now has 2,030 signatures. The Great Space Coaster Homepage @ www. great space coaster.com has recently been updated for 2006 with new pictures and videoclips of the cast.The Great Space Coaster ran 7 seasons syndicated from 1980 to 1987. Does anyone remember the anti-gravity day episode where everything in Coasterville, including Frannie’s guitar went flying up into the sky! Does anyone remember the time where Goriddle Gorilla stole Edison Elephant’s Scarecrow to use to play Soccer? So as a practical joke using a hammer, wood, nails, and rope, Frannie made Goriddle into a fake Scarecrow in Edison’s corn garden to teach him a lesson for stealing! Was Frannie about 5ft. tall in height? Does anyone remember The Great Space Coaster being shown as reruns on Cartoon Network back in 1994? The Great Space Coaster had many celebrity guest stars including Sally Struthers, Bess Armstrong, Linda Gray, Aileen Quinn AKA “Annie”,”Mary” Kathleen Turner, Richard Kiel, Henry Winkler, Charlotte Rae, Geri Jewell,Dr. Joyce Brothers,Carol Channing,Rock Steady Crew Dancers, Composer Marvin Hamlisch, Ice Skaters Tai Babilonia and Randy Garner, Valerie Harper, Mark Hamill, and Singer Karen Carpenter- May she always rest in peace in heaven. Does anyone remember the time Goriddle Gorilla was trying to do a talk show @ The Coasterville Ampitheater? So Frannie as a practical joke kept hitting a bell on the table to distract him. Goriddle yelled, “Dont ring the bell, Frannie!” But she kept on doing it! Does anyone remember the time Goriddle Gorilla stole Baxter The Clown’s Father’s Bananaman Videogame Birthday Present? So as a practical joke, the 3 teenagers Frannie, Danny, and Roy took all of Goriddle’s Bananas away from him to teach him a lesson. What’s your favorite Great Space Coaster Episode with Frannie and Puppet Goriddle Gorilla? I remember the time Frannie found Goriddle on top of The Coasterville Ampitheater pretending to be King Kong. I remember the time Frannie and Goriddle sang a song together about being special. Frannie used to rub Goriddle’s tummy with her hand to be affectionate a lot. Lets get this classic 1980’s live action/ children’s t.v. show back into rerun syndication and on dvd volumes for another generation to enjoy!

    It’s been a while since I’ve visited your blog–sorry! Which means I missed this entry until today. I loved the Great Space Coaster! Nobody I know ever seems to have watched it besides my family. I still refer to the news as the G-new g-news with Gary G(-)nu occasionally, and it’s lovely when someone else knows what I’m talking about.
