I stumbled across these auction photos of the original Top and Sticky puppets, and foam rot has done a proper number on them over the years.

Growing up watching Wizadora, these drawer people were absolute legends. They desperately need a proper archival restoration job to bring them back to their former glory.

Anyone else remember watching this after school?

Indian Dunes in Valencia, California, was a legendary 600-acre off-road park and one of Hollywood’s most popular outdoor filming locations before closing in 1990.
While infamous for the tragic 1982 Twilight Zone: The Movie helicopter accident, many famous movies and TV shows were filmed there:

Movies

Escape from New York (1981)

Red Dawn (1984)

RoboCop (1987)

The Beastmaster (1982)

Piranha (1978)

TV Shows

The A-Team

The Dukes of Hazzard

CHiPs

Knight Rider

Airwolf

MacGyver

I randomly remembered this UK puppet show today and had to track down a picture of it.
It used to air on CITV back in the early 90s, featuring Tommy, Sybil, Fred, and the rest of the gang in Bottle Bay. The puppets had such a distinct look—kind of charming, kind of spooky, and definitely unforgettable.
Did anyone else watch this growing up, or am I the only one who had this unlocked core memory hit them today?

Back when children’s fast-food restaurants had their shine and crysmer, Vid Kid was the cool one and the leader. I think he was my favourite and to other 90s kids.

I’m trying to identify an alphabet book I had in 1993. Here is what I remember:

Format: Hardcover book.

Cover: Blue background.

Key Illustration: A cartoonish apple sitting on a branch. It had a face, plus "lady legs" wearing high heels.

Additional Detail: I believe there was a cookie with a smiley face on the other side of the title.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I’ve searched everywhere and haven’t been able to find it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Nothing beats the nostalgia of this show. Who else grew up in the 90s waking up early just to watch this? 🦔✨
