Seven Days of Sleestaks: THREE

The Library of Skulls

How cool is it to have a library of skulls with colored lights in them. That is so much better than books! Books are cool, but skulls with lights = freaking awesome! Do books emit "sacred smoke" that leads to hallucinations with the added side effect of removing all language barriers. I think not! Do books predict the future? NO! Do books have different specializations? Do books have a special "index skull" to help find information? N....well, I guess they do. Um. but they don't light up in groovy colors!

There's even a "Sleestak librarian". Maybe that's what that hissing is just the Sleestak librarians shushing everyone!

Seven Days of Sleestaks: TWO

ENIK!

Remember Enik? I know, I know. He wasn't technically a sleestack; he was an Altrusian. The Altrusians were the ancestors of the sleestaks. He was kind of orangy-brown and he wore a shiny orange blouse. He was a groovy.

Look at Holly! She always looked like this:

Oh Holly, why couldn't you be as dreamy as Will?

Ah, Will. *Sigh* you were just so dreamy. A little overly emotional, but I guess everyone in the land of the lost was. You were probably only a foot taller than Chaka making you five feet two inches, but that didn't matter. *Sigh*

What were we talking about?

Seven days of Sleestaks: ONE

Sleestaks were awesome! For some reason, for a young kid in the seventies, they were a little scary. They didn't speak, they moved really slowly, but the had a certain je ne sais quoi. Something that was just a little creepy. I think it was just the raspy wheeze they produced and the inhuman way they moved. Okay, so I'm not getting it across. Yeah well, I'd like to see you trapped in prehistoric times surrounded by dozens of those slow moving raspy humanoid lizard folk! Let's see what you'd think then, huh!

I think, here, in this picture, they are conducting an orchestra or something. SCARY!

On the Television

Another show that I just loved was "On the Television". Anyone Remember that one? It was described as "a fake Siskel and Ebert reviewing fake TV shows". My favorite sketch that they did was "Our Maid Imelda" about the deposed Imelda Marcos taking a job as a maid. Not very PC I guess but FUNNY. I can't believe I found it on Youtube!

Hm, it used to be funny. I don't know what happened!

There was also "The Valery Hopper Show"

I also liked the one about the neighbor being a sock puppet that was a take on Bewitched.  Hey, I'm easily amused. I found it! I found it!

Out of Control

Since I'm stuck on kids shows I had to put Out of Control from Nickelodeon. That show was so much fun! Boy is it hard to find pictures of it.

The Great Space Coaster

I almost forgot about this one. I LOVED it. Nothing better than good puppets.

No gnews is good gnews.

Far Out Space Nuts

And this was another thing entirely.
