A lot of these are live action or puppet based along with a couple of cartoons.

HR Puffnstuff, Sigmund, The Bugaloos, and Electra Woman are all Sid and Marty Krofft shows that we watched on the Krofft Variety Hour.

Hot Fudge Sunday may have been local or Canadian (in the Detroit DMA we get spill from Windsor Ont.) because no one I know remembers it.

I remember thinking I was so cool because we could watch Fraggle Rock on HBO...we were the first in the neighborhood to have it, when you used to have to get the special antennas!

Hey, thanks for the nostalgic trip back to my childhood! I used to have to go to my best friends house to watch Fraggle Rock - we did not have a TV - and I have not thought of Captain Caveman in sooo long, but I still remember his voice...ahhh, sweet youth. The Smurfs was another big hit for me. Great list!
