Obscure TV shows

Are there any TV shows or cartoons that you watched as a child that most other people don't remember?



There are 2 that I can think of right off hand that no one (not even the people I watched them with) remember.
One was a cartoon called Wildfire in the early/mid eighties about a girl and a horse and the other was called Bionic Six. I remember the theme song to both of them so I know I didn't make them up.

I liked this show called The Skipper Chuck Show. I think it was televised out of Chicago. It's like Howdy Doody where kids sit in the audience, and they have costumed people, actors, and puppets talking to Skipper Chuck. It was great! Also one that I can barely remember, I think it was called Arthur, but not the new show Arthur. They were hand puppets. Arthur was yellow, that's all I remember.

There is a show that I remember only parts of and nobody knows what I am talking about... I'm not crazy I think...

This show was kind of like Sesame Street and there were these 2 boy puppets (kind of like Bert/Ernie ... a blonde one and a brown haired one, and they would play a game called tag you're it and they would just keep going back and forth with it.

anybody know what I am talking about... please reassure my sanity.

I THINK the show was called today's special. It had a mannequin in a department store and that is about all I remember.

How about H.R. Puffinstuff?

HR Puffinstuff!
Who'd you call when things get rough?
HR Puffinstuff
Can't get a little cause you get get enough!

It was all these people in costumes except for this boy who had a British or Australian accent. I'm sure most of you are WAY too young to remember it.

How about Underdog?
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's frog! It's UNDERDOG!

AND, I remember the ORIGINAL Inspector Gadget!

I don't remember those Lenora. Although Grape Ape sounds familiar.

My sister and I used to run around playing wonder twins. And when you say activate you have to hit your fist into the oposite wrist.

Ooh ooh ooh, what about The Electric Company??

Wonder Twins was one of my favorites!! Since I had a twin brother, we played that all the time!!

Some of these shows you guys mentioned I've never heard of, some I've heard of but never watched and some I know very well.

We only had 4 channels when I was growing up so I don't think anything I watched was not seen by millions of others.

The Great Space Coaster. I know it is not a cartoon, but I remember watching it. It had a character called Gary Ganoe. No one knows what I am talking about.
