Shark Bytes

Up on the board there is "Spidey Loses" as one of the cases in which the show Jumped the Shark. One thing that I have a pretty vivid memory of is the Spider-Man segment of this series. I am going to have to say that I do not remember any cases in which he got into any situation in which he lost. I seem to remember him triumphing over whoever the villian was in that episode. Can anyone clarify what this is all about?

Never jumped. The wacky humor appealed to me more than any other kids show, and I was really sad when they cancelled it. I still can hear the Spiderman theme in my head; that was one of my favorite segments. It's lucky they did cancel it, though. Otherwise it would have succumbed to the unbearable political correctness that destroyed Sesame Street.

OMG The ULTIMATE PBS SHOW!!!!
Does anyone else out there sing the shopping list song to their kids when they go to the grocery store? It was Judy Graubert's shining emmy-worthy moment! A list, a list, I have a shopping list......What would McGinely Do?

Pardon me. Jimmy Boyd not Jimmy Boy! But, on other points, I will say this: there ia a very powerful possibility that TEC's Denise Nickerson influenced many of the show's highly scarey segments (like ones involving Freeman as Dracula). She was a veteran of vampire-soap Dark Shadows and when she guested on the Brady Bunch remember it was an ep where Peter (she played his date in the ep) dressed as Dracula. Also, it was stated at both sitcomsonline and imdb.com that famed comic actor Maclean Stevenson off-camera in reallife very, very much feared Conrad Bain (also of Dark Shadows) when they acted together on tv so maybe Denise actually scared the rest of the cast of TEC more than a little!

I'm glad its been cleared up that Jimmy Boy (of Bachelor Father)is not the same guy who played Crank on the Electric Company (it seemed 100% impossible for a human to change that much in 11 years). Yeah, Freeman rocked here on TEC but so did Rita Moreno and Skip Hinant(sp?). Freeman was really a better comic actor than dramatic! And I liked Moreno's pretty look best by far in season one!

Julie was the only reason I watched the show as a child....

Never jumped.Great show!

Wow, another craptacular show from PBS. The only show I liked on PBS as a kid was Sesame Street. IMO, The Electric Company kids show: SSSSSSSSS + tunk = Stunk

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this growing up. But who knew that my future favorite actor (Morgan Freeman) was in it?! Wow!!

HOW THE HELL HAS THIS CLASSIC NOT BEEN ON TV FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS? MILLIONS OF KIDS HAVE REALLY MISSED OUT.

Jim boyd is not the person who sang "I saw mommy kissing santa claus". That was JIMMY Boyd a completely different person.

As stated here:

Boyd is often confused with Mississippi-born Jimmy Boyd, singer of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," who was also an actor. Despite having separate IMDb entries, these two actors' filmographies are still combined—although to a lesser degree than before.

Someone asked about the 2nd verse to "I Like Fish Food..." I love that song too, and the 2nd verse goes something like this: "Stop--and--go--and--dance--a--dance...all--the--way--from--here--to--France. Day--and--night--all--bright--and--new...Left--is--right--and--I--LOVE--YOU!" (not sure about the last line, but I THINK it's "left is right")

I love this show too! We used to watch it in 4th grade.

Love of Chair who could forget that one!!!

MUH-OR-GUHN FREE-MAN!
MOR-GAN FREE-MAN!

Easy Reader rocked! But while watching "Driving Miss Daisy" i kept expecting Hoke to overenunciate everything.
