Subject: Vegetable Soup
Hi,
I don't know if someone can help me with a little trivia. I remember a show from either the late 70's or early 80's, and I thought it was called Vegetable Soup, but that may just be the theme song. Can anyone help me out with providing a name of the children tv show and possibly a web address of where I can view some clips from the show?
Thank you,
Danielle
Subject: Re: Vegetable Soup
Are you talking about the children's show that had really weird (kind of pyschedelic) animation and featured themes about people getting along? Did the show in question also feature a running story about kids (portrayed by semi-real, semi-odd looking puppets) who made a rocket out of junk in their back yard?
If this is the show you have in mind, the show is indeed "Vegetable Soup." The show was produced by the New York State Department of Education and ran on both PBS stations and commercial stations in the 70s and 80s. I have heard that some stations in New York City still run the program.
The Yesterdayland.com website has a "Vegetable Soup" page which includes a brief write-up of the show. Check out the "Related Internet Links" right beneath the Cast listing to check out the "Vegetable Soup Animation Gallery."
It was a great show. I'd love to see it again.
