Those shows sure bring back old memories! Thanks for posting them! As a kid I loved Lets Go and You Can't Do That on Television! I didn't think anyone remembered Lets Go!

Anyone else remember a show called "Size Small" which came in various incarnations, like Size Small Ranch, Size Small Island, etc?

I just remember the old woman crafts lady who had a weird speech thing and whistled all her 's' sounds.

"Come to Size Small Island" Of course :thumb:

The house looked like a face. with teh shutters on the windows for eyes. And there was this giant Record that would play spoons :lol:

I used to have the hots for "Miss Helen", the host of the show, but then again I was like 4 years old at the time. What did I know :lol:

Oh my god I love Size Small! The Dancing Record and the S Grandma were awesome! Wasn't there a cowboy that sang and puppets that were triplets or something? I'd love to watch that show again!! :happy:

"No two people are quite the same when life is like a learning game. But if you use your head you'll always win. Just like the edison twins"

I was a regular watcher of both those shows :thumb:

Anybody remember Kidsbeat?

It was always on Global on Saturdays at noon, like a kids-oriented news & entertainment show hosted by twentysomething overachievers who were way too enthusiastic.

I just remember the repetitive promos for the show over and over and over again...
