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. :>

@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... youtube.com/watch?v=220XsrVZ1r

... I HOPE you're satisfied!!!
