Relevant to an ongoing conversation:
Fellow old folks. Does anybody out there remember an instructional television show about the Metric System that aired on PBS affiliates in the early 80s? Really cheesy sketch/variety show, basically Electric Company format. They had a jazzy little theme song that went something like "To many reasons to list them... something something metric system?"
Anybody? Anybody? Maybe I was the only kid in America who was home sick the day they aired it. :>
@zebratron2084 If it's the one that had the theme song "There's somethin' new for Uncle Sam; It's out with the ounce and in with the gram... "
... I remember it in my head, but haven't seen it in decades.
@zebratron2084 Nevermind... that was from the 70s... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEhahcGUIDE
@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, that's a treasure but the one I'm looking for was considerably... funkier. :) Lots of Sid and Marty Krofft influence, iirc including an out-and-out Bugaloos parody.
@zebratron2084 ... thanks to you, now I've got things like this in my YT suggestions, and I have not gotten a single thing done but watch old cartoon edutainment selections from the 50s... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=220XsrVZ1rk
... I HOPE you're satisfied!!!
And no, the Metric Marvels were a different thing. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02wgP_FlXC4
