Subject: 80's cartoon gary gnu

Written By: Paola Fowler on 3/6/1999 at 6:11 p.m.

I just wanted to find out about a puppet-like character in the 1980's called gary gnu, and coined the phrase "no gnus is good gnus with gary gnu". What show was it called, what did it consist of...etc...

the show was Great Space Coaster. I used to watch it when I was at home, sick. The song went something like "get on boar, step inside, Soaring for a magic rige - rowing toward the other sid ewhere only rainbows hide...on the great space coaster get on board..." yadda yaddda. there was that really creepy foam clown guy named Baxter, and that stupid elephant withthe stained glass ears. massive trip. it was on right around the time Banana Split was on.

Now, do you remember the show HOT FUDGE?

it was on the show, the Great Space Coaster, a children's program with actors and puppets.. the Gary Gnu segment was always a fake newscast, which usually concluded with the Gary Gnu character getting upset about their being pictures of Gnus in the newscast...
