This is like the archetype for every retro-styled with the synth-soundtracked logo build in and the crackly PBS voice over. Can’t believe this was made in 1980, would have guessed earlier from the quality.

  1. I’m hearing a lot of Tomorrow’s Harvest (BoC) in that intro chime thing. Am I alone on that one?

    This seems really consistent with the quality I remember from 1980. It wasn’t really too far off from 1978. I rather think of those three to four years, 77-80, as having similar style. Essentially those years informed my childhood the same way it did the Sandisons as we are basically the same age though I was influenced more by PBS and they the National Film Board. And we all had early sesame street.

    very very similar, its like a hi-fi version almost.

    that intro, to me, is way more black moth super rainbow than BOC.

  5. Found this site via a mention on Poorly Drawn Lines. Given that I grew up in Florida, and knew people involved in the program work there, this was an excellent find. Thanks!
