The Wombles.
In a small corner of my childhood memory sits the Wombles. I was an enormous fan of this TV show in my grammer school years. I even had a record or two of theirs if memory serves. The strange thing is, like the film "One Got Fat," I don't recall ever meeting anyone who had ever heard of this show before. But man, was I a fanatic. Well, as big a fanatic as a 6 year old could be.

I'm... a little... disturbed. Did you have a lot of nightmares as a kid?
Children's entertainment was far, far different in the 70's... I suspect you, Steve and Shannon were not subjected to anything remotely resembling the Wombles or "One Got Fat" when you were growing up.
Right, probably because less people were on drugs...
I got the Wombles, you got Strawberry Shortcake and the Care Bears. Who was the winner here?
There's a question? Really? Do you have any idea how good all the strawberry shortcake characters smelled? I'm guessing the Wombles smelled a bit less pleasant.
I'm guessing they smelled like Irish whiskey.
I can relate, when I was a kid we had the Banana Splits. I had heard they were actually 4 drunk animators running around in those costumes...!
