I've asked this question frequently amongst my pop-culture-obsessed friends if they remember THE GOODIES and the response I always get is, "what's that?"I was about 8 years old, it was the summer of 19--, and my parents worked until 1am, at least, so my brother and I didn't have a lot of restrictions when it came to watching too much television. My biggest recollection of THE GOODIES was:
It came on sometime after THE BENNY HILL SHOW
The intro for THE GOODIES - which involved accelerated stop-motion, the 3 main guys on a bicycle built for three, falling down, and possibly movements like making snow angels in the grass?
And a catchy but simplistic tune, which might be the lyrics like, "Goodies! Goody goody yum yum. Goodies! Goody goody yum yum..." and so on. (Memory hazy here.)
All this weak recollection is what prompted me to ask my friends if they remember seeing this show. And when everyone I ever inquired of answered in the negative, I started to wonder if I dreamt it all?
But in doing a little background search on THE MIGHT BOOSH, it seems Barratt and Fielding wanted to be "the new GOODIES" and the ever awesome Wikipedia provided a link to The Goodies page someone created. (I don't know why I didn't check Wikipedia myself, but I think the last time I even thought of THE GOODIES, Wikipedia didn't even exist. So there. And yes, I'm being defensive, h'yah*.)
I'll have to now do a search on the ole' You Tube and see what might come up for the show. Will post any worth a gander.
