Author Topic: Boohbah -- Yet another inane kids' TV show! Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-29-2004 03:41 PM                     Just when you thought Barney was bad enough... Along comes Teletubbies. Just when you thought THAT was as low as Children's TV could go, along comes Boohbah! (Caution: All those URLs go to Flash websites. Sorry.) What the hell ever happened to Sesame Street? Now that Mr. Rogers has gone to the Great Neighborhood in the Sky, is there NOTHING kids have to look for on TV but THIS crap? Cap'n Kangaroo!! Come BACK!!  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

It was said in futility.  |  IP: Logged Jim Spohn Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 04-30-2004 09:42 AM                     You guys (and gals) might be amused to know the following; While a guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Johnny Carson said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima ... and that during the course of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded." "Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the butt and they gave me the Cross for securing a hot spot about half- way up Suribachi ... bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys gettin' shot hauling you down. But Johnny, at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew ... We both got the Cross the same day, but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison. The dumb guy actually stood up on Red Beach and directed his troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach. That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and passed it to me lying on my belly on the litter and said, 'Where'd they get you, Lee?' I replied, "Well Bob... if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the outhouse!" Johnny, I'm not lying... Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew ...Bob Keeshan ... You and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo." +++++++++ On another note, there was this wimpy little man (who just passed away) on PBS, gentle and quite. Mr. Rogers is another one of those you would least suspect of being anything but what he now portrays to our youth. But Mr. Rogers was a US Navy Seal, combat proven in Vietnam with over 25 confirmed kills to his name. He wore a long sleeve sweater to cover the many tattoos on his forearm and biceps. A master in small arms and hand-to-hand combat, he was able to disarm or kill in a heartbeat. He hid that away and won our hearts with his quiet wit and charm. America's real heroes don't flaunt what they did, they quietly go about their day to day lives, doing what they do best. They earned our respect and the freedom's that we all enjoy. Amazing what we do NOT know about people.  |  IP: Logged Fred Georges Master Film Handler Posts: 257 From: Lombard, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 04-30-2004 09:44 AM                     I happened upon this thing and couldn't believe my eyes.

Be enlightened here: http://www.snopes.com/military/keeshan.htm http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/mrrogers.asp On the other hand, Boobahs is one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen. I stumbled on it one morning, and it seriously made me regret that I didn't save a tab of acid to drop while watching. I mean, the colors, man!!  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2004 12:18 PM                     Fred Rogers was born in 1928. He would have been too old to have served in Viet Nam.  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 04-30-2004 12:18 PM                        What is theoint of there site...i mean it really is geared to young kids or guys on acid trips  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

While travelling for Cinematour I woke up in a hotel room in Mission Valley, CA and found this show on. I watched it for a good 20 minutes before Adam Martin woke up and looked at me as though I were insane... and he then proceeded to make an incredibly off color joke that would make even Phil Hill blush. I can't believe that show was real. It was sooooo surreal. Blobby things that make squishy noises and then turn into bubbles and small children who dance and fall over a lot. FAN-TASTIC!  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-30-2004 07:55 PM                     I wouldn't be surprised if Boohbah became an inexplicable, campy hit among college students in the same way Teletubbies was...  |  IP: Logged
