Funky Childhood Nostalgia, Part I

Mana Mana - from The Muppets



All this baby talk throws me back to my own childhood growing up in the 70's. In my opinion, children's TV was at its prime back then (of course I'm biased --- what is up with today's shows like Teletubbies and that giant singing purple lizard, Barney?!).

I remember how funky the shows were. I just loved watching Sesame Street and The Electric Company (Rita Moreno in an afro -- you gotta love it). Take this clip from The Muppets, called "Mana Mana". All non-sense, but all funky! What the heck is a "Mana Mana"? The question is who cares?!
