Maybe, just maybe.
One thing I liked about this show was the endless variety of sketches. It was like a Laugh-In episode for kids.
Skip (Fritz The Cat, no lie) Hinnant as Fargo North, Decoder. It took me years to finally get the pun.
J. Arthur Crank, Jennifer of the Jungle, Easy Reader, (another late pun) Pandora the brat, The Mad Scientist...great characters all.
And the Short Circus was one of the most talented bunch of kids since the original Mickey Mouse club.
A word about Pandora though. Rita Moreno wore this REALLY high skirt in that role. I wonder if her character ever became an accidental 'symbol' for those old enough to get it. She looked damn fine like that if you think about it. The females in the Short Circus too. That is, when they became teenagers.
The one problem with certain 1970's children's shows was the way some females dressed. Shouldn't be wearing minis or hot pants if you're entertaining kids. 'New Zoo Revue' was guilty of this as well.
The comedy was brilliant however. And even though the design and images are dated beyond belief, it's still great fun.
