Bwooop!
The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
don't you dare pretend you don't have the opening song memorized! my favorite part is the brilliant job with the voice overs.
ReplyDeleteHere comes Pippi Longstocking yadda yadda yee ya ya ya yooo!
ReplyDeleteand with that, i'm off to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI love Pippi Longstocking. I don't think I've seen the movie, but the books--so great. When I was a kid, I begged my dad to let our lawn grow so that it would look like Pippi's wild front yard. Begged.
ReplyDeleteThe best part about that Pippi Longstocking was the dubbed dialogue. It was Swedish or something, wasn't it? I'm too lazy to imdb it.
