I loved Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men when I was a kid. Ask anyone my age about Bill and Ben and they'll probably say "flob-a-lob-a-lob" - that's how they talked. Kids these days, they don't know what they missed!
I grew about without TV, my parents would rather have us play outside or read.
I remember Gumby from the reruns and a few new series in the Nineties, and watching with my own kids. They love Gumby too. I wanted to buy a figure or two recently, but could not find any here.
Are you sure it wasn't the Jackson 7 instead of 5? These guys certainly move and look like the Jacksons!!!

ReplyDeleteNot all was bad.
Remember Gumby?
Created in the Fifties.
I loved the reruns (remember Gumby as spokesperson for the Library of Congress?).
I'd never heard of Bill and Ben until I saw this video. I feel shortchanged somehow...
ReplyDeleteYeah, we had Gumby. And do you remember Davy & Goliath?
What's fun about the TV of the 50s is that everything was fun because everything was new and experimental.
Davy & Goliath?
ReplyDeleteDon't remember.
