Do You Remember The Elephant Show?

By Tanya |

Maybe I am just being nostalgic, but the old TV shows that were intended for kids were just some of the greatest ever made! Probably one of the absolute best was The Elephant Show starring Sharron, Lois and Bram and of course their good friend the elephant.

Do you remember the show at all?

Every episode started with this song

Because multiple elephants walking on spider webs makes a lot of sense.

And every episode ended with this song. I bet you will still know this dance.

This song and the simple motions that go with it will be forever burned into my long term memory that I am certain that if I got amnesia I would still be able to sing along perfectly well if someone put this on.

Their outfits were ICONIC!

Hey Lois, where can I get that sweater?

Who knew peanut butter and jelly could be so exciting?

They stayed friends!

Lois recently passed away, but Sharon and Bram spoke of their friend highly.

It's been almost 40 years since the musical trio joined together.

40 years next year, Sharon, Lois and Bram are still a staple for many parents. Probably a lot of the kids who grew up with them are having kids now! It's so great that they can share their favorite kids show with their own children!

Do you remember The Elephant Show?

Share if you still know all the words to Skinnamarink!

The True Story Behind "The Sound of Music" Is Even Better Than Whiskers On Kittens

By Jon
When Julie Andrews brought the sound of music down from the mountains and into our hearts, she brought with it a love for the real-life von Trapp family, who the story was based on. The movie follows the autobiography of the real Maria von Trapp, who was a nun that became a part of an Austrian family before the Nazi occupation in World War II. The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

10 Foods From Our Childhood We're Surprised Haven't Been Banned By Now

By Meg
Growing up, we were exposed to a lot of foods we probably shouldn't have been. We didn't necessarily have any of this "all natural organic free range sung to sleep by angels" food that people eat now. We ate what was given to us and didn't worry about the consequences. That being said, there were some pretty questionable foods from back then that are still eaten today, and we're not quite sure why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these foods should go away, I'm just saying I'm surprised they haven't. 1. SPAMEaterAs a general rule of thumbs, I

6 Movies That Caused A Lot Of Trouble When They Were Released

By Alex
Movies are supposed to entertain you. They are also supposed to elicit an emotional reaction out of you, whether it be: happiness, sadness, fear, joy, anger, contempt or any number of others. That's the great thing about movies and television, you can essentially do whatever you want because you are just telling stories, that is unless you do something that gets the masses up in arms over what you have created. Some movies are hit the big screen to such controversy that they actually inspired protests. Some were even banned in certain countries because they were deemed to be far
