No Barney for us!

Ah, 1970's educational television. Nostalgia or no, I can't help thinking how much better it is than the tripe that gets put out nowadays. By now you all know how fond I am of Sesame Street and Electric Company, but there were others out there as well. Here are a few samples (with nary a Wiggle in sight).

There was Mulligan's Stew, which spent half an hour on eating properly...



The Letter People, introducing us to 26 good friends (there's plenty to choose from on YouTube, but I decided to go with that hippie Mr. H and his Horrible Hair)...



Zoom, with a bunch of Boston kids having far more fun that YOU ever do...



And of course, 3-2-1 Contact, which taught us all about science and gave us the original Bloodhound Gang.
