The Great Space Coaster

I would watch this show every morning before I went to elementary school. Every episode, Roy, Fran, and Danny would sing a song and tell some story about a kid who overcame an obstacle. There were always guest stars. In the early seasons, Roy would always show this cartoon on this little TV about a black and white line man who spoke gibberish. I saw that cartoon again in 1997 in my computer animation class! It was so cool! Knock Knock would always tell a stupid knock knock joke. Baxter the clown would also sing songs. Gary Gnu was no funny. No gnews is good gnews with Gary Gnu. I remember Gary Gnu getting hit with a Gary Gnu turkey every episode. One day of of the guest stars told the crew how mean they were hitting him with that turkey. I was glad when they got rid of Edison the elephant. It was cool when they brought Speed Reader and Rocking with Rory the third season. I was mad when they bought the huggles in the fourth season. They got Gorriddle in trouble one episode! Baxter would listen to anything the huggles said! Then they had a nerve to bring baby huggle in the 5th season!

This show was extremely creative. Always something new and exciting. Great characters that kids got to know and love. I wish there was a way to see this as an adult. To even be able to show it to our kids. Many people still quote Gary Gnu but have forgotten where he came from. Definitely a hidden gem lost to the ages.

As a kid, I got picked on a lot, and one of the best parts of coming home after a miserable day was sitting down to watch this show; I sat and laughed and felt good about myself for that half hour. I used to wish that there really WAS a Great Space Coaster to take me away. Now that I'm an adult, I feel badly that there isn't a show like this for the young kids; they're left to watch violent cartoons every afternoon, instead of learning something.

To say that The Great Space Coaster is the greatest television show of our time would be an understatement. Millions of people everywhere have been touched by its intelligent, witty, heartwarming and profound storylines. The cast contributed some of the best acting ever seen in a modern television production. The lavish costumes and cutting-edge special effects brought us all to a new level of appreciation. This show truly pushed the boundaries of television programming. Our culture is richer for it.
