I loved Andy's Gang and watched it with my older brother frequently. After reading the comments above, I thought I would straighten out some of the lines used on the show. Theme song: I've got a gang. You've got a gang. Everybodys gotta have a gang. But there's only one real gang for me. Good old Andy's gang!!!
I still remember the tune and can easily sing it.
Froggy the Gremlin: (He lived in a big clock) Andy: "Plunk your magic twanger Froggy!" Flash and puff of smoke. Froggy: "Hiya kids, hiya hiya!" Andy: "Now Froggy, you're gonna behave today right?" Froggy: "I'll be good, I will, I will. Ha-ha, ha-ha; ha-ha, ha-ha!" (The ha-ha's were almost croaked and sounded more like ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh)
Froggy would then proceed to totally harass who ever the guest was, as well as Andy and would finally vanish in another puff of smoke.
As someone said earlier, he could have been the inspiration for Bart Simpson.
Midnight the cat (niiice!) was also a great character. The show was definitely strange. That's probably why my brother and I loved it so much.
When the Gunga Rama elephant boy shorts were running, the groups of beaters or other groups engaged in communal activity would always chant the same song, but I don't remember what it was. Mungoolay, poolulay, ookabolakonga. You get the idea. I hope someone can fill in that blank.
Someone above mentioned the Winky Dink show. Winky Dink and me. Winky Dink and you. We'll have lots and lots of fun together. Winky Dink and me. Winky Dink and you....I don't remember the rest of the second line. Talk about interactive media. It presaged video games by decades.
How about Colonel Bleep the alien and his side kick Scratch the cave man? Or Tom Terrific with his funnel hat.
I always thought Crusader Rabbit and Raglin T. Tiger were the inspiration for Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Fun to remember this stuff.
