My son and I are watching Noggin, and "Tiny Planets" is on, featuring two little white fuzzy aliens, Bing and Bong. Apparently, this episode is all about water and rain. The title?

"It's Raining Bongs."

Duuuuuuuuude! Whoah!

"Tiny Planets" is beyond weird. It reminds me of the cartoons I used to see on the local French channel, which made just about as much sense as this one does (and I didn't even understand French at the time).

I suspect the entire creative staff of that show are on magic mushrooms. And yes, the theme song is a thing of evil catchiness which must be stopped.

I hear it in my sleep, especially that lovely, echo-y part at the end.

Better'n the "Song that Doesn't End", though. Now, you *could* sing that forever! And you wouldn't want to!

Oh! And while we're on the subject of children's shows, did you ever see this bit of weirdness? I used to see it after school let out when I was six or seven on Channel 9 out of Secaucus, NJ...http://www.frightenstein.com/

Sorry if it brings back bad memories...when I mentioned this show to someone else, they scolded me... ;-)

Oh, I hated that show. It didn't scare me, I just thought it was enormously stupid. Same with H.R. Pufnstuf... I never really watched more than five or ten minutes of either, while waiting impatiently for the next thing to come on.

Still, I'm amused by the reference, as I'd totally forgotten about that show until you mentioned it again.

Oh, I knew it was stupid even when I was six. The scolding I got was something like "Aigh! Don't go bringing up memories of Billy Van! You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Sadly, Sid and Marty Krofft were often the only things on...for hours and hours on a Saturday. Hours and Hours. *sigh*
