I was thinking about it since it was one of the "dead" shows on the recent Simpsons Halloween story with Krusty and the Devil.

Probably my strongest early memory of TV from when I was 4 or 5.

I have no idea what that even is.

Ugh unfortunately I do hear it. Was never a fan, it came on nickelodeon here and after that was "daily special" where the mannequin comes alive.

Yup. Damn, I'm old.

Today's Special, and I can't believe I still remember that.

I didn't like it much either. I was probably more interested in Spartikus or Mysterious City of Gold. I just remember the song and wish it was another show.

Yes. I liked Silas the Snail. Me memories back then were:

Pinwheel
The Electric Company
Picture Pages with Bill Cosby
Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings.
The Muppet Show

The Pinwheel song and this are strong memories.

This and also seeing reruns of the Adam West Batman show, which I took seriously because I was too little to realize it was meant to be silly.

So when Riddler had Batman and Robin tied up and moving towards a saw blade and it ended on a cliffhanger, I was seriously worried that they could get hurt. ;.;

At some point Nikelodeon was airing Mysterious City of Gold really early in the morning around 5:00am. My parents made me go to bed early on weekdays so I trained myself to get up a few hours before school started to watch Mr. Wizard and Mysterious City of Gold.

Good times. I also loved "Daily Special" and I think it was up there with Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood as my favorite show when I was like, 4 or 5.

Yes, Im that old.

I was today years old when I learned the Mike Myers character and song were a reference to something else.

I remember that when I was in high school. It was so funny because I remembered the cartoon from my youth.

youre not the only one cursed with knowledge.

Yes, he was my favorite puppet, too. As with Sesame Street, I liked the parts with the main puppets and people better than the cartoons in between.

I recall liking Romper Room as a kid too, but in retrospect it had pretty cheesy puppets, even compared to Pinwheel puppets.

First thought.
