RIP the old guy Barth from You Can’t Do That On Television

Posted by admin on 25th July 2009

les_lye_ycdtotvWhaddya think is IN the burgers? Seriously, I didn’t realize this dude was 84 years old…I guess I’m getting old myself, because You Can’t Do That On Television was a big part of my early TV watching days. Les Lye actually played many characters on the show, but I remember him best as Barth’s Burgers.

This old scientist muppet is mixing potions while he sings Time In A Bottle. As he guzzles the drinks, he gets younger and younger. Like Mork from Ork, but not really like Mork.

What TV Show Am I Thinking Of?

Posted by admin on 23rd September 2008

Serious question. There was some children’s TV show back in the late 1970′s or early 1980′s, I used to watch it when I was a kid, and I’m pretty sure it came on the same channel as Sesame Street, Electric Company, Mr. Rogers, etc…

I can’t remember the name of the damn show, but it was about some old dude who owned a toy store, and at night after the toy store closed, the toys came to life. I specifically remember a tricycle that rode around the store by itself. It seams like the old dudes name was Mr. Bean, but I might be wrong about that. No, I know it’s not the same Mr. Bean characted portrayed by Rowan Atkinson.

WTF was the name of this show.
