I never really cared much for Hey Dude even though I watched a whole lot of it, but I am excited for what is on the horizon. I also appreciate the show more after seeing this - I never realized it was the first Nick sitcom, or that it handled native issues so well for the era.
Anyway, I'm super stoked. We're really in the era of "my Nickelodeon" now. I genuinely hope Nick Knacks explodes as it enters the 90s. It deserves to. This is the best series on TH-cam.
Agreed on Hey Dude. Means we're 1 show closer to Salute Your Shorts and Pete & Pete.
I got a little misty eyed when you talked about this ending the 1980s era if Nick. It's a pretty powerful way to contextualize the show cause it does cross over the decades. It bridges those two eras perfectly.
I was seemingly right in the intended age group for Hey Dude back in 1989 and liked it a lot, along with Nick's other two big comparable live action shows Salute Your Shorts and Pete and Pete. As a kid I always assumed it was meant to cover multiple summers, explaining why characters left and returned. I also liked when Ted came back because I enjoyed his character more than Kyle or Jake, even though as an adult I completely agree that it ruined the gravitas of his leaving and that the reasons given for his return were stupid. His love/hate dynamic with Brad was entertaining and this might have been the first romantic relationship I was interested in watching.
I personally never cared for this show much myself, Salute Your Shorts was.... ok.... but I LOVED Pete and Pete.
@@kandigloss6438 Salute Your Shorts was chocolate pudding. First taste is good until you reach the next one. But Hey Dude was the Beverly Hills 90210 of Nickelodeon.
@@meyerj75 yep
The last few seconds of the theme song are the only things I've really stored in my memory from this show. To this day, I tell people who are going to Arizona to look out for man-eating jackrabbits and killer cacti.
🐇🌵😸
Although Joe Torres is technically politically/ethnically a Mexican-American, and has a Spanish surname, many Mexicans are primarily of indigenous descent. He may not be descended from a tribe from what is now the US, or have any legal tribal affiliation which qualifies him as a Native American under US statute, he's definitely of indigenous descent. While there are many legal Native American actors who probably could have filled the role, I don't think his casting was out of place.
I agree. There is a nuance here that cannot be distilled into the remark about how it "isn't great" that a Mexican-American was cast in the role. I think that assessment is this episode conflates ethnicity and geopolitics. Torres has native blood.
And the character was part Peruvian, judging by his comment about his people having potatoes first.
I think Americans and the rest of the western world still have a cognitive dissonance with the idea of Mexicans being anything other than "Mexican"... probably thanks to movies and TV.
No one cares.... You guys complain so much about race. It's fucking annoying.
Wtf is wrong with you
Joe Torres is/was clearly Native American. Most Mexicans have indigenous ancestry, and many Mexican-Americans (like my grandfather) were fully Native-American (usually Yaqui).
Yeah, Hispanic is a very unhelpful category when it comes to ethnicity
To be fair, when Ted came back for the fifth season he said he had finally finished up summer school for the summer. He didn’t quit school.
Oh my goodness! I am so glad this video popped up in my feed. I was a total Nickelodeon kid - from Nick at Nite and 60s fare in the 80s to SNICK all throughout the 90s. I loved Hey Dude, and can’t wait to dive into more (all!) of your content. Long live YCDTOTV, Pete & Pete, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Explains it All and so many more! 💜💜
These nick knacks are so wholesome and comforting its like you're reading us a bed time story of the history of nickelodeon
...until you reach the "You Can't Do That on Television" episode.
Holy Moley! At 4:20 he's reading Jason Ritter, Toyboy issue 2 from Continuity Comics. The actual plot line of that issue is that a group of mercenaries break into a research lab/weapons lab, and accidentally stumble over a Para-Military group's plans to kidnap the Main Character(who is pretty much a ten-year-old Tony Stark). They decide to kidnap him instead, for his own protection.
Nobody's plans go well, as the kid has a trailer full of tech including a robot helper. He ends up calling out the exoskeleton that you see on the cover, it comes out the Para-Military group was actually hired by Jason/Toyboy's father so he could do a dirty weapons deal... and... well, it's complicated, but very much not about alien worms.
The other guy is reading an X-Force comic, but I didn't get a good look at the cover, so I can't tell you which issue it was.
Not about alien worms?! Curse you Nickelodeon and your web of lies!
That moment when you realize the theme song is a TV version of clickbait. 5 seasons, no man-eating jackrabbits, or killer cacti. 😂
I know there's been a lot of anticipation for Nick Knacks reaching the 90s, but as a 90s kid who never had much affinity for Nick in general, I want to say that I've really enjoyed each and every one of the episodes that led up to this. I really admire the integrity of your research and the candor of your presentation, and I look forward to seeing your take on the channel's most famous decade ^_^
The most anticipated Nick Knacks episode since Double Dare. Hey Dude premiered just over a month before Saved By The Bell did on NBC. Everybody talks about Clarissa Explains It All, Welcome Freshmen, Salute Your Shorts, etc. But, Hey Dude's success paved the way for those shows and the other Nick sitcoms that came later on. I do remember I-40 Paradise on TNN when I was 8 years old in 1984.
@CC Right here on TH-cam, there's 3 or 4 episodes of Welcome Freshman. Type in "Welcome Freshman Nickelodeon".
Hey Dude was a nice and gentle alternative to Saved By The Bell as they was no laugh track to distract the viewer from watching the activity that is happening.
@@mattm7798 Which explains why in Hey Dude, multiple amount of takes may have been needed in order to get the scene right.
Just a little nitpick, there is a good chance that Joe Torres has a native American heritage since states like Arizona use to be part of Mexico not that long ago, native American is an umbrella term for a lot of people whit distinct looks and cultures that don't reflect modern borders, but hey at least they didn't got an Italian.
Mexican people are called Mexicans for a reason and he looks like he has more native blood than Spanish blood in him as well.
I would rather it be an Italian.
@@MsCwebb I can't tell if thats an reference to that one ad or if you're racist
The Hey Dude Pilot is one on my holy grail list, along with the original 1990 Clarissa pilot. According to a Clarissa fan site, everyone but Clarissa and Ferguson were played by different actors.
This series is so well done. I searched TH-cam for some hey dude to put on in the background and found the best doc I’ve seen in 2023
"And for that reason, this is the show I've decided to end..." Oh no, wait, you can't "...the 1980's on." Oh, phew. Had me worried there for a second.
I can't believe how badly Ted and Buddy manhandle those comic books! Buddy is resting his foot on a stack of them while Ted instantly rolls up a copy of X Factor! I get it, Buddy was mostly sent a collection of Continuity Comics also rans, but this flagrant comic book abuse sears my eyes!
Absolutely loved Hey Dude. Crazy there was 5 seasons in the span of 2 years. I remember thinking this show was on forever for some reason, incredible stuff here lol. Maybe not my favorite of the Nick sitcoms but as noted in the video it was a game changer for Nick
It’s a little wild it’s a little strange, his molecules got all rearranged…wait no that’s not right it’s not 2004 yet
I'm still not sure which episode in this series is going to give me the biggest case of the warm-n-fuzzies, but this one is certainly near the top of the list. I don't even recall that much of the plot, but I sure as heck remember the theme and the experience of watching it after school. The Hey Dude era of Nickelodeon was such a special part of my childhood. Thanks for taking me back, man. It means more than you know.
One time about 9 years ago I was trying to record an episode of Hey Arnold! on TV but instead an episode of Hey Dude got recorded instead ever sense then I've held resentment over this show.
Reminds me of the Nickelodeon Mush-Fest VHS me and my sister bought when we were kids. It started with a Rugrats (the show she liked more) and ended with a Doug episode (the one I wanted the video for). But there was this full half hour Hey Dude in the middle I kept having to fast forward to.
@@mightyfilm Damn so I'm not the only one with a petty vendetta agaisnt this show.
@@PeterGriffin11 I appreciate the kid logic around that dislike.
Hot damn--your conclusion for this episode is so beautifully stated, and it really tees it up for the next decade in the best way! I didn't realize that you occasionally go out of chronological order, but your rationale for doing so makes perfect sense and I really like that you closed out the ‘80s with the true transitional show that clearly pulled from the decade but also signaled the creative direction the network would take in the next one.
I adored Hey Dude as a kid--I was right in that targeted age group that they were going for, and they nailed it perfectly on the head. (Don’t forget that Breyer horses became A Thing around this time too, so it felt like a perfect storm!) I totally shipped Brad and Ted well before I understood what that meant and was so bummed when he left and loved the messiness he brought when he came back…but in retrospect, he was an egotistical garbage human. I didn’t realize how amazing Jake was until I watched this again--he definitely was the best addition to the cast, hands-down.
Feels like we're really turning a corner here at Nick Knacks! Finally starting to "feel" like Nickelodeon, whatever that means
Hey, Ross K. Bagwell, a familiar name at the college I go to (Pellissippi State in Knoxville), because he basically kickstarted the Video Production Technologies part of the college. Hell the building that houses these classes is called "The Bagwell Building", and there's a Bar None Ranch sign and a couple of props from the show on display in the building, along with some old brodcast stuff and even a Club Music sign, which is some really old Country Music show from the 1980s on The Nashville Network. It's neat to look at.
I grew up near Knoxville and was always got excited at the end of the credits when Knoxville was mentioned. Lol, not much media from around here.
Summer days getting ready to go to the pool coming home to a barbecue this was my show!
David Lasher had my heart soooooo hard. 🤣
Just a couple months ago my friend stayed at the guest ranch where this was shot.
Onto the 90s, here's where things get a lot LESS obscure and a lot MORE obscure depending wholly on the show being talked about. There might be a few more hour long episodes in our future.
Pete & Pete is going to be epic. I'm sure he'll feel a lot of pressure to do it justice, and I'm equally sure he'll come through with aplomb.
And then there are the forgotten ones, like Outta Here (boy did THAT one come and go) and Sk8-TV and Launch Box.
@@pronkb000 I do not envy this man when he runs headfirst into the one-two punch of Fairly Odd Parents and fuckin' Spongebob in the same year.
@@samwill7259 I don't think those shows premiered in the same year.
@@PlatformerFan Nope, you're right. I double checked. FOP was 2001, Spongebob was 1999. You can see where I made the mistake
At this point, the spongebob vid's gonna be like 10 hours
This show was my #2 jam. Can’t wait until you cover Pete & Pete. That will always be my favorite.
Joe Torres and I went to Tucson high school together. We were good friends for years. He attended the Hey Dude audition with our friends from the drama club, who Joe was not a member. As you can surmise, Joe was selected to be in the cast while his friends who auditioned were sent home.
I remember Hey Dude more for the theme song as a kid than anything else. As a kid, I found it boring. As I watched it more on The 90s are All That, I found it a decent show and kind of funny and goofy. Ted reminds me of Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains as Mike Seaver. Both good-looking, yet selfish, immature, and egotistical.
I actually was able to connect with Joe Torres on Facebook during my college years. We talked on the phone back in 2011 and he actually lives in Arizona working at a bar. He sounds a lot different, his voice was much deeper now as an adult. He mentioned the rumors about him being dead and quickly corrected those. Nice guy and very down to earth.
I enjoy all of these Nick Knacks videos and can't wait for the videos about the 90s shows I grew up with. Greg is doing a great job with all of these. I can tell he does his homework and research. His commentary is great too.
I'm glad Joe Torres is doing well. Hope he continues to remain well.
Hell yeah new Nick Knacks day is always a special day. Thank you for what you do.
I remember describing hey dude as a kid to my parents as saved by the bell meets bonanza
All 83 episodes so far have been amazingly well written. I get so much joy and warm and fuzzies from Nick Knacks, but I gotta say, nothing makes me feel warmer and fuzzier than when I see that "Trans Rights is Human Rights" logo. Thanks for being an ally.
🤢🤮🤣
@@matthewhunter1193 Bruh, imma come at u straight...If you don't support ukraine, you aint black. Make the right choice.
🇺🇦😕🇺🇦
Is this supposed to be like an insult?
Be sure not to read more recent comments...this episode is a nexus point for _those_ types, for some reason...
Wait was that Ben Stiller's wife?!
That's correct. When I read about that a few years ago, I couldn't believe it and had to double check. They seem happy though.
I was about to point out why Torres may well be Native American, but a couple commenters already did; my other complaint is that when you talked about the show's darker edge, you didn't mention the "Texas *Handsaw* Massacre" scene (when I saw that episode as a kid, I actually hadn't heard of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film).
never had the chance to watch Hey Dude but i'm always excited to hear your perspective and the historical context!
8:14 Mr. Ernst Does the Mario
Thinking about it, this show has a lot in common with Nick's first dramatic tv show, Adventures in rainbow county (adventures in the outdoors, single parent, younger "sibling" native american co-star (even if the actor wasn't), male lead (I think you could argue ted was the lead character)). I guess it's fitting that they enter their second decade by revisiting their first scripted tv show, even if that was an import.
Hey Dude was one of my favorite shows and probably the reason I grew up loving western esthetic, fashions, music, etc. I hope to make o to the set before it’s torn down…
I didn't learn about the Iroquois/Haudenosaunee until I played Sid Meier's Civilization V about 10 years ago.
Cinetel, who produced Hey Dude, would also go on to produce shows for HGTV in the late 90s. The company is now known as RIVR Media.
Wow I can ‘see’ that
I rewatched the series last year and one thing that stood out to me was, perhaps it was unintentional, Jake came off as a neurodivergent character. I liked how the show's portrayal of him as he adapted to life at the Bar None and grew as a person after he found himself in stressful situations.
I loved that show so much 🎉 but then again I love almost all sitcoms 🥰
You Can't and Double Dare might have been around for ages and lots of reruns, but when I think about my Nickelodeon, it centers Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts- two shows that I still sing the theme songs for every now and then when they pop into this 41 year old brain.
The Native American issues that the show brought isn't the first time such a thing happened. The was a second season episode of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids in which a new kid named Johnnie moves in the neighborhood and tells the gang that he's a Hobie, like the character Danny that Joe Torres plays in Hey Dude. However, due to the gang's exposure to Indians from all of the matinee cowboy vs Indian movies they've been watching previously judging Indians or other indigenous natives as inferior, they seem to disbelieve Johnnie's capabilities in such traits that he can play sports, read books, and lives an active life as opposed to be relegated to perform rain dances, tell stories around a campfire and whatever the gang looked at Indians from the movies. In the end with the advice of their teacher, the gang goes to the library and take out some books that detail the truth on Indians and their true culture that the media fails to represent thus learning more about Johnnie's Hobie culture a lot better than before. And that was what this show tried to do somewhat is to show that we've been so blown away from the media on our Native Americans that we fail to realize the real deal on that the true first Americans were not the Pilgrims but the Indians themselves and that everything that Danny mentioned in the series has been opened all this time but we keep putting them in the closet for later. Why are will still celebrating Columbus Day after the truth has been revealed on how he treated Native Americans? We should be saluting our Native Americans more over Columbus. After all, they were the ones that greeted the Pilgrims, which didn't consist of those of Italian origin, not to judge them in Columbus' perspective, but they were completely misguided by his legacy. Therefore, it is important that even the lesser known tribes as well as all indigenous natives should definitely have a place in history and like those who served our country, should never be forgotten. Sure the past was a mistake, but we can prevent that from learning from our mistakes and move in the right direction.
Where you been all my life?
Well, for most of it I wasn't born yet..😂
Greatest joke in Sitcom history.
I think my only experience with Hey Dude was Nostalgia Critic's Nickelodeon month review
same. literally never heard of it or salute your shorts before doug walker. looking forward to pete and pete and Clarissa explains it all because those ones i've actually seen.
tho I have a feeling I'd prefer salute your shorts to this. hey dude seems kinda boring.
Hey Dude was a pretty decent show for Nickelodeon’s first sitcom, and it would serve as a gateway to even better ones, such as Clarissa Explains It All, Salute Your Shorts, and The Secret World of Alex Mack. The time when you get to talking about those shows can’t come soon enough.
Hard agree! I can't wait for the Pete & Pete episode! For my money, that show was the masterpiece of early Nickelodeon original programming. It's just a classic, nostalgia goggles or not!
I think Danny taught me more about Native Americans than my school.
I remember watching some of “Hey Dude” when I was younger. As a matter of fact, I believe I had a “Hey Dude” book at one point. I’m looking forward to the “Nick Knacks” episode about the history of Yogi Bear on Nickelodeon.
The episodes of this show I remember the most are the one with Angie the troublemaker, the one where they were feeding Mr. Ernst mashed carrots thinking he was ill (it was instructions for a horse), one of the girls in the Miss Bar None contest, and the one where two of them got handcuffed together and argued over which way to sleep. [edit: TED AND BRAD, yes]
I was always more a Salute Your Shorts kid, myself.
Mr. E's signature letter M hairstyle. I mean just look at that thing. Wtf lol
I loved Hey Dude growing up, and even at my age of 41, I still watch episodes, as I have all of them in Amazon Prime. That being said, I’m surprised that the target age was 8-10, as that seemed young. I don’t recall if I watched Hey Dude at that age, or more as a preteen/early teen when they aired the reruns.
I found out through some old newspapers that Hey Dude actually went through the final season during the Spring of 1991.
Great video, as always. Very excited for the '80s retrospective, as well as finally getting into the 1990s!
I'm surprised from the comments that some people considered this show boring. But when I think about it I was exactly in that 8 to 10 range they talk about. Just on the cusp of preteenhood and beginning to put away my ninja turtles and whatnot and getting more interested in the complexities of more adult interactions. I even have a distinct memory of my mom asking me what it was that made me like the show so much. Not In a derogatory way but like she was genuinely curious. I don't remember my answer but I think she sussed out there was something somewhat significant in the fact I loved it so much.
I like hey dude also I lived in Tucson and one day I will go to The SaddleBrooke Ranch were the show was shoot. 😀👍🤠
Thanks! I've been waiting for this one.
Really hoping we find out for sure what happened to Joe Torres someday.
I just discovered your videos and I’m gonna watch all of them! I grew up watching Nick and these videos are real treats! Some of these shows I completely forgot about. One of my favorite things about Hey Dude was just watching the backgrounds. The other “guests” walking around the ranch. The wind blowing the plants. Just the breathtaking scenery. Solid storytelling and characters as well.
I used to love this show as a kid.
Both David Lascher and Christine Taylor are in their 50's now...
dslkaf;WHAT?!
I only watched Hey Dude sporadically, but this is still one of the best Nick Knacks episodes I have seen so far.
This won’t even be David Lascher’s only appearance on Nick Knacks, with Sabrina the Teenage Witch coming at some point
Wasn't he on the ABC show of Sabrina? Was it on Nickelodeon, too? I forget, but I remember seeing him on ABC's Sabrina with Clarissa aka Melissa Joan Hart.
@@arongold2745 It wasn’t on Nick first run, but the show did air on Nickelodeon and The N for reruns
@@DigiRangerScott My prime for Nick viewing was Hey Dude, so I had no idea!! Thanks!
A minor correction: one episode is missing on Paramount+ as of this video going live; Season 4 Episode 1, "They're Back." Not sure why it's absent, probably a copyright claim or something.
Loved this show. It was my "weekend Saved by the Bell". We didn't have cable at home so I had to wait til I was at my dad's to see it. I can still smell the window AC unit blasting while we (my sister and cousins) laid on the couch eating candy, playing cards, and watching tv.
When I think of Hey Dude, one thing immediately jumps out at me: *HIGH RISE JEANS.* I never thought anything of it back then since I never really cared about fashion, but years later, it's the biggest thing I notice anytime I see anything about this series. I'd go as far as to say it's as much a contributor to the show's texture as the rugged sets and windswept branches.
Also, is it just me, or did teen actors look older in the 80s? Or did having so many young adults play teens back then just break my brain?
They prob look older to you since you were a kid when u first saw them...
I just heard you on TV guidance counselor! My favorite podcast and the TH-camr come together at last I know this is strange because I’m not even 30 but hey you like what you like. Keep up the great work Mr. Greg!
I loved Hey Dude. This and Salute Your Shorts were my shows.
I never realized how much LGBT overtones the show held when I watched it as a kid. It's very much more apparent now!
The ruins of the Hey Dude set was my first Adam the Woo video.
As for defense, Mexicans are just non-recognized natives.
Even though Arizona has a lot of natives, most natives who are actors would move to California. Today's times its different now.
As flawed as Hey Dude is, I still enjoyed it and gladly take it over modern Nick sitcoms.
Was indifferent towards this show until your one second from each episode short so NOW I'm most interested in your take on this one and am writing this as the theme plays.
For me and my brother and sis, this was are favorite show. We taped it on vhs and would constantly watch reruns. It just gives me such a warm coasy feeling.
Great tv show saw it on nick when I was 7 in 1991 until I was 15 in 1999💖
Born and raised in Tucson AZ and loved "Hey Dude". Around 1997-1998, I was 17 and my brother and I swear that Joe Torres (Danny) was working at a Walmart. We never had the nerve to ask him if he was "Danny", because he had a few arm tats and never seemed very happy. Was a few pounds heavier than "Danny" but it was several years after the show ended. It wasn't until years later I learned that nobody really knows what happened to Torres, thus making our theroy even more plausable. I really wish that I would have asked that guy if he was Torres.
Never liked Hey Dude, but I'm here for the deep dive. I can't wait for Nick to kick into high gear! I love Nick Knacks!!!
Just in time to leave work!
The acting was on point
I have the fondest of memories of that show, but I don't dare watch it again.
Dude, Danny is Mexican yes, but he is also Native American. Most Mexicans are primarily Native American. Does he look like a blond Spaniard to you?
Bassman: 🎼"Hippy ti yi what, Sing it again now, git alawng lil dohgeez.",🎶🎵
Oh wow, I haven’t thought about Hey Dude in at least 20 years.
My little brother was more of a teen sitcom fan than me. Hey Dude, Welcome Freshmen, Saved By the Bell, that kinda stuff. I mostly watched Nick for the cartoons, although I did really like Salute Your Shorts.
I've been *waiting* for this one, I loved this as a kid!
This was my favorite show on Nickelodeon as a kid. Man do I feel old.
Does anyone remember the episode when Mr. Ernst either lose or broke his glasses and was using binoculars to see?
_Hey Dude_ was great, though it got old after enough reruns. I will admit that I'm most looking forward to _Salute Your Shorts_ and _The Adventures of Pete & Pete._ Those never got old.
My favorite Nick show of all this show left a lasting impact and imprinted on me.
The theme song for this show as buried deep in my memory and retained in full. Felt weird to know all the words to it after not seeing it since it aired. Kid me absolutely loved this show though. It had that good mix of being silly, serious, and having unique enough characters that it'd keep kids of my age at the time attentive. Hopefully Joe Torres is doing well today but being able to get away from absolutely everything about acting after you're done is admirable if it was done of his own accord.
I remember watching Hey Dude back in the day. I don't remember a lot of the episodes, but I remember liking it and seeing how it was filmed on location really gives the scenery much more life than it would have on a sound stage. I think it's also fitting to describe this as the bridge between the 80's and 90's Nick. I saw the series only through reruns in the 90's, so despite when it really started, it always felt more like a 90's series to me. I'm really curious to hear more about 90's Nickelodeon since there are a lot of really good shows during that era of the channel.
My dad go to school with David Brisbin in Andrews, Texas.
When I say this is my Nick nostalgia show, I mean it quite literally hits me where I live. In Tucson. Where as a small child I auditioned for an episode. I didn't get the part, obviously (and even at the time I thought that was probably for the best), but it's still even more of a memory hit than the rest of your episodes about this era.
Wow really? Auditioned for what part, a background stand in or a guest star? Too bad you didn't get the part but yeah that's somewhat of a great memory that does hit hard.
@@Mrd9960 I auditioned to be the little girl that Ted babysits and loses track of in a second-season episode.
@@Tabbyclaw Oh wow, how close were you to being chosen? I mean were there alot of kids turned down.
@@Tabbyclaw Also sorry for bringing up a bad memory, just curious.
@@Mrd9960 No, it's not a bad memory at all! Just a fuzzy one, because I was six or seven at the time and I only got as far as reading lines with the casting people. There were probably less than ten other kids there at the same time, but I got the impression that they were doing things in batches so there may have been more waiting somewhere else.
I was about 8 or 10 years old when the show was on air and it bored me to tears lol. Love your videos as always, I'm actually curious to revisit this show as an adult through a nostalgic lens
I've probably only ever watched one Hey Dude episode in my life, but man, the theme song rules so hard.
Isn’t 1989 when the Pete & Pete shorts start airing? This was before it became a 30 minute show.
"Hey Dude" was the "Wild West" of kids' sitcoms on Nickelodeon, both figuratively and literally...
ngl, when brad and old buddy were talking about the Handicapped kids.
was kinda paying attention to the music.
Here’s to an all-time 80’s Nickelodeon Classic & one of my early childhood favorites that I never missed during the original run.
