TheBadMonkey, a friend on Plurk, shared this video with everyone, and in a matter of seconds I was 10 years old again. I swear it’s groovier and more wonderful than I even remembered it:
And my favorite segment from “Great Space Coaster,” Gary Gnu. No Gnews is Good Gnews!
Rick Aiello knows something about cheese - he was born and raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Since moving to Chicago in 1997 he has involved himself in Chicago's music and arts scene, both as a cabaret artist and as a member of the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus. With a taste for the ridiculous and fanciful, he began his personal blog, Rick's Launching Pad in 2004. Rick lives in Chicago with his two furry children, Pippin and Screech, and enjoys photography, music, cooking and men... not necessarily in that order.

First of all, I'm loving the new look. I used to watch that show, and that's surely a blast from the past!
That Great Space Coaster intro is great. Family Guy did a spoof of that in one episode and it was hysterical! I never saw the original one, so it's good to come full circle!
THAT'S the show. I still say, “And remember, no gnews is good gnews,” which causes people to look at me funny. I'd completely forgotten about this show. Watched it all the time. I'm going to get the theme song now to add to my library.

Can't say I remember this per se although it does look vaguely familiar.
With the Olympics going on, I've been recalling the Laff-A-Lympics. Remember those? Here's a couple links to take you back down memory lane:

How come I can't find a clip that aired the “Stickball Sally” that was on the The Great Space Coaster show.
I am looking everywhere for it. Because I was in it in Junior High in NYC at the time and would like to show it to my wife.
Does anyone have all the old episodes???
Thanks,
Nick
