First off, I can't say I have many of these due to a DVR most of these were on crashing and the show being pulled from the CTN Saturday morning lineup. Anyway, in my attempt to expand the lineup somewhat, here's an episode from about the mid-1980s of Joy Junction (the uncertain date owes to CTN apparently lopping off the last part of the credits {where the year would be shown on copyright}). We start with Papillon giving an explanation on whether anger is sinful or not; only to get himself (and the audience) more confused.
After meeting the crew ("Sheriff" Don MacAllister; Forrest Padley as Professor Klodhopper; Ron DiSanto as Papillon; Ron Brown {Ron and Marty}; David Brantley as Whittler Dan; Les Padley as the Deputy Les {seen with increasingly less frequency as the show went on}; and soloists Darsi Wilson and Sarah Edens; we get underway with the introduction of Ashley (blue team) and Stacy (red) for our first game -- but not before our prize plug. The game (putting paper towels together to give a loose translation of Proverbs 16:32) is won by the red team. Professor Klodhopper then appears with the classic "baking soda/vinegar" experimental (having poured baking soda into an old Mrs. Butterworth bottle); followed by Darsi singing the Kathy Trocolli classic "Stubborn Love" (from Kathy's debut album; not sure if this aired that way but the trax seems to have some audio issues).
We then get a visit from Mrs. ??? (unknown kid; not named in credits); then Whittler Dan's new RC car sets the stage for a story followed by the red team's Shawn and the blue team's Paul in a game involving who can fill the most cups with Pepsi (advantage: Red)
Following the intermission (a "kid-on-the-playground" interview with several small kids on spiritual matters); Papillon provides a picture to go along with the lesson on anger. There's also a plug for the Joy Junction mailbox club (with a graphic updated sometime in the 1990s), a visit with Ron and Marty and finally the Bible Pumper (Shawn and Paul return for their teams) in which (after the Blue team ties it at 40) the Red team pulls away at the end to win 60-40. Sheriff Don closes with explaining the topic and reminding us to "put God first".
I used to watch this show when I was a kid, every Saturday at my grandparents' house, and I never would have thought that Ron the ventriloquist had that kind of sick s#*t in his head all those years. That's scary. Good thing he was put away before he could actually hurt any of those poor kids. We can all thank God for that.
I also watched this in the 90s on TBN as a kid every Saturday morning.
@@tiffanymorgan6562 best anime! ron is sacriest anime battle
@@tomkatt8274 what
@@tomkatt8274 what are you talking about
lisps never lie
Did not know this until going to one of the cringevenom vids with Ron and Marty, but Ron Brown got arrested not long ago in a sting for an online chat with other child pornographers in which Brown mentioned kidnapping, rape, murder and eating young potential victims (thank God he got caught before carrying it out).
Suddenly that explains why the Joy Junction repeats suddenly vanished off CTN. Ugh, that's its own level of disgusting.
True, but its strange that virtually every trace of the show has been scrubbed from the internet. I mean there is almost no reference anywhere online about Joy Junction.
What?! That's horrible! And he was on this Christian kids' show?! Dear God, if he ever violated and touched those children, I pray to God that they were healed and restored! This is what makes people on the outside so skeptical of Christians and ministers of the Gospel!

I just learned about this show after learning about Rob the puppeteer. Shame really, it's a really good Christian kids show, even if you're not Christian you can understand that you shouldn't let anger control you
you gotta be fucking kidding me
@@mariposamoreno lol
I do wonder if Ron has dropped the soap yet? Lol
If so, nothing happened. He's in administrative segregation. That is, locked in a cell 23 hours a day.
Yes people
Whoa what happened
As of August, 2020, Ron Brown is listed as Deceased on the USBOP website.
@@israelrodriguez6986 he got arrested in 2012 for possession of child p* and they also found a journal and online chat logs of him expressing his sick fantasies.He died in prison in 2020
Theme song is 🔥
It's not getting angry. It's getting pissed off.
Okay, Ron comments aside....the show actually opened like that? That was some awkward lead-in.
Yeah the camerawork and editing is just awful
@@BigboiiToneyeah, sorry, they didn't have dslrs and adobe. Wish you could have been there. You probly could have helped Ronny with his puppet.
@@thegreatsiberianitch Its ok and I wish! I love puppets
Its a shame so many of you want to bash this show based on 1 man's actions. I knew alot of these adults as I attended childrens church with them through my childhood years a few yrs after it went off the air. Including Ron thankfully nothing happened, but these people put their heart and soul into teaching young people. I don't know where I would have been without them. Stop judging all of them on 1 man's actions
did you know Darsi?
Mr. Brown? Is that you?
Yeah, I used to watch it on Saturday mornings.
I agree the show and the rest of the cast shouldn't be judged by what one member would do decades after it ended.
This show was the highlight of my week as a kid and encourage good thinking skills as well as Christianity. What happened with, Ron? What r people talking about?
@@tootiepac5210ron died during covid in 2020
UPDATE REGARDING RON BROWN:
As of August, 2020, Ron Brown Brown, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for possession of child porn and other crimes is listed on the U.S. Bureau of Prisons website as Deceased.
No cause of death is given.
That said, this show should not be defined by the actions of Ron Brown. His actions occured around 20 years after the production of Joy Junction ended.
While it may be easy to say "good riddance" to him, as a Christian, my only hope is that when he passed from this world, that he did so forgiven by God (Yes, God does save and redeem ANYone who is repentant and believes.).
Probably got stabbed or beaten by other inmates. Guys like him are typically killed quickly and in particularly brutal manner in prison
Even people who get arroused by little boys in caskets? And i thought Ron was a creepy bastard....unreal
@@toddhale5387 the whole concept of forgiveness revolves around forgiving even the worst sinners. No it's not easy but it's necessary
Maybe he got some prison justice.
@@mattr.1887
I doubt it
Child molesters (including potential molesters like him) are looked down on among fellow inmates (because many prisoners have their own kids).
Fellow inmates will have little to lose (especially if serving life) by attacking and killing child molesting inmates.
So for that reason, convicted molesters are usually locked up in solitary 23 hours a day, with one hour in a small separate excercise yard.
Dude asking the little girl exactly what school she goes to, in what town and state... creepy. That shit wouldn't fly today i hope
I remember watching this show every Saturday morning
You this show actually makes alot more sense when you watch it on codeine.
GIVE ME SOME
I find it ironic that they didn’t hire Jimmy Savile, a Roman Catholic, but they hired his mate.
Man, I used to love this show! And the Western theme of it all!
Professor Klodhopper looks like a bootleg Uncle Floyd.
He the person who played him in this show was one of the most loving inspirational person you could ever meet. He went out of his way to make sure the neighborhoods in that area were safe and kids had fun safe things to do. He acted like a klodhopper on the show but none of the people commenting on this knows the difference that man made in sooo many lives. Sorry its a bit personal to me. I know ppl just want to make fun of the show but I seriously care/d about alot of these people
@@andreaoreilly997 Sorry to see he has passed away!
Sad that an evil monster was involved in an innocent and wholesome kids' show. :(
Also, I liked the intro, especially the cameos of Jot the Dot, a female presenter with a seal (I like marine life), and a Sesame Street-like puppet.
does anyone remember that song that goes if your looking at the hole in the road, you're gonna miss the rainbow?
4:00 man, this dude is letting his creep mask slip
@ChristianTVArchive
Do you have any other episodes or clips of this show? I remember the artist making a drawing of the broad way leading to destruction and the narrow way leading to life. Do you have a clip of that?
Danny D uploaded rest of the episodes.
*You think he just decided to start with kids after 20yrs when he was off TV. I believe he got away with it when he was on TV and more often around a whole lot of kids with showbiz parents desperate to have them on TV.*
Blameitonjorge anyone?
+BrokenJoystickGaming meee
me.
me
I totally blameitonjorge. And this show is disturbing, even if there wasn't a puppeteer that wanted to eat kids this show is still a total Christian creep-fest. I would never expose my kid to religious crap like this.
Yup blameitonjorge bought me here as I never heard of this show. Probability because it never made it to the U.K. which thankfully I’m not too disappointed by with all this religious bullshit but the theme tune is dope I must admit.
I loved watching this growing up. Do they make shows like for kids this anymore?
Just goes to show appearances can be deceiving. A wolf lurked in the presence of God's children ( Ron Brown)
Deep
Unfortunately, Joy Junction was unable to launch Darcy Wilson's music career.
It's like a video made by a cult
This seemed like a great show despite what ended up happening...
Real shame because it really seemed better then Bible Man or whatever crap they show church kids now.
The presenter sayin hed like to know the 11yr old better cuz she owns horses 😅
Does anyone know if this is the same Darsi Wilson that sang the solo in the above show?
mugshots.com/US-Counties/Florida/Pinellas-County-FL/Darsi-A-Wilson.6150678.html
+Joshua Humerickhouse I would hope not, certainly based on the list of charges (mainly child abuse and involvement with stolen property).
+ChristianTVArchive That person was born in 1969, meaning she would have to be a teenager when this was made, but it looks like she is in her 20s.
it sure looks like her. it is 1985 would make her a in the middle teens would she could possibly be. the mug shot looks like an older version of this girl. maybe that pederast corrupted her and the child abuse charge reciprocating results from that. try to be a Christian without organized religion
yeah it looks like her. i mean i find it ironic thats where ronald brown was also charged and arrested..as he lived there..i think this show was recorded in clearwater florida right? i think it might be her!
I hate to say it, but the lady in the mugshot does look like her. If it is the same person, that is a shame and it will probably guarantee that Joy Junction will not ever be seen in repeats again
Admit it....you came here from blameitonjorge
Cringevision, actually.
Nick Crowley, here.
16:00 Damn Pepsi
Why not Dr Pepper?
Yeah, I read about that. It's sickening that people like that exist.
I can't believe I sat through that whole song that lady in the stiff blue dress sang. I'm high.. I'll go home.
Imagine being a kid being forced to sit through that shit.
Back when I became a christian when I was 14 I had this girlfriend Priscilla Gwen england we were close friends until we went our separate ways today she is a pastor at Trinity lighthouse church and I became a theologian a few years ago I became catholic and my current Ashley and I sleep read and go to church every Sunday
I'm a Ronald Brown fan. Someone link to my man Ron's segment?
around 23:00
IS IT REALLY RATIONAL OR FAIR TO JUDGE THIS SHOW, THE ENTIRE CAST, OR ALL CHRISTIANS ON ONE MAN'S ACTIONS? If you have any rational, you know it isn't. At the time this show was made, nobody knew of what George was up to. We can be thankful nothing ever happened.
It's similar to Bill Cosby. At the time "The Cosby Show" was produced, Bill was a well respected guy. He was in Jell-o commercials, on The Electric Company, and other shows. Nobody knew of his dark secret.
So, don't go dropping the blame on all people who were involved in Joy Junction!
True. The show sucks on it's own merits. Timbrock1000, you defend this show as if you were on it. Are you the sheriff?
@@LEATHERrebelJUSTICE
No, I'm not "Sherrif Don", but I was in the audience as a kid back in 1984.
My only point is the entire cast and crew of the show shouldn't be stigmatized over the actions of Marty.
He acted alone. Also, none of what he did dates back to the early-mid 80's when this show was current.
You say it sucks? Ok, but that's your opinion.
@@Timbrock1000 Your point make sense fine. It's just funner for people to shit on this show as if it all was that bad. Comment sections are about fun & seeing things as negative as possible, is fun. It does add on to it that me & most people legitimately see this show as a headache for any kid. So we have no motive to be anything but mean but yes, the other guys had nothing to do with the puppet guy's actions.
Now let's call them all degenerate pedophiles & have a laugh?
Given the fact that apparently Ron's not the ONLY person from this show who's got a sketchy past (apparently cast member Darsi Wilson got put in prison over 10 years ago for 4 counts of traffic in stolen property and 2 counts of child abuse)... might not be COMPLETELY unfair to say there were some scumbags at this show.
@@SeanStrife
Really? I never heard about that.
I'd be curious to read any references.
CANNIBAL CANNIBAL TIME
Smells like something else...haaaaa
I thought it was a analog horror
oh... the 80s
Blameitonjorge!!
Yup!
You better set these videos "made for kids."
JUSTICE FOR RONNY
