Hot Fudge

[jason100x]

In the Music Corner, there was a discussion about Banana Splits, a show I used to watch as a kid and that made me think about another show I really liked as a kid, Hot Fudge. Did anyone else here watch that? I have scattered memories of it, especially Seymour getting lectures about the right way to act by some bearded guy. Here is the imdb link:

I found a snippet of it on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxU3aXTCyAk) and it all came back to me. Dang, that Seymour freaked me out.

Just watching that footage took me back! I hope they post more footage up on youtube or get that series out on DVD!

I used to watch that. At various times in the 1970s, it aired (in Chicago) on WSNS-Channel 44, WFLD-Channel 32 and WLS-Channel 7. (WLS aired it on Sunday mornings.) I haven't seen it in decades...although about ten years ago or so, I was at Tower Records and saw a whole series (maybe half a dozen or so) soundtrack CDs from the show, apparently legitimate! My guess is if there was video (or if there was video not tied up in legalities) it would have come out then too.

Another "lost" show of the era (or a few years later) is "The Great Space Coaster." I was actually a little too old for this when it premiered, but I did watch it for a while. I wouldn't mind finding some of that too. (I know of one Beta/VHS compilation tape being released in the 1980s, but that's it.) There is some info on the show on the web, including Ray Stephens (who played Roy, one of the three main cast members) having gone on to be a touring member of the Village People! He passed away some years ago...I can only guess what he died of...sad, but cool (if bizarre) that he was in the Village People.

I lived out in the Chicago area at the time so I seem to remember that it was Ch. 32 (my favorite station as a kid) that I watched Hot Fudge on.
When I started this thread, I was thinking of doing one on the Great Space Coaster, coincidently. That was another show I enjoyed as a kid too.

Speaking of the Chicago area, do you or anyone else remember a show called Gigglesnort Hotel? That was another of those low budget kids' shows on at the time.

Yes, that was the work of the great Bill Jackson. See:

Was there a segment on the show when they said "See more with Seymour"?

That phrase has been stuck in my head for years, and danged if I can remember where I first heard it.

Yes, I believe there was... had a little ditty to open the segment up as well, I remember the final line being "Shall we....Seymour?"
