what's a TV show you watched as a kid that you're pretty sure you hallucinated

@vantiss there are a couple of full eps on youtube... it's pretty crazy

@Taweret someone thought kids would want to watch a live action about a middle aged man who randomly begins a child due to finding the fountain of youth

@Taweret Ark II was great, and trippy! Jet packs! A chimpanzee! Post apocalyptic damnation alley vehicle!

I think i wish i hallucinated these shows, but honestly they were so good

Grape Ape.

OMG Blackstar! For years I told people there had been some dumb cartoon that had a theme almost the same as Star Trek: TNG and that’s it!

@Taweret I caught the last year of this show & would run home after school to watch it. "Out of This World"
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0092423/
A teenager discovers that her birth father is an alien and that she has supernatural powers.

@Taweret The Great Space Coaster, complete with the La Linea cartoons on Roy's mini-TV.

@Taweret Any of the Hannah-Barbera stuff that was recycled from the 60s and 70s that wasn't The Flintstones.

@Taweret I was well into my 30s before I was sure that Eureeka's Castle was a real show.

Same with Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings.

@Taweret And there's various comedy sketches I half remember that I'll never know where they were from.

Sesame Street? Square One? Some British cartoon shown only once on American TV?

There's no way to know.

@Taweret Eureeka's Castle isn't even that strange, but it's so Muppet-Like that I couldn't remember it clearly as a separate thing.

Looking it up, I see it was created by R. L. Stine. Yeah, that seems about right.

@Taweret Noozles.

It came on during the middle of the day on Nickelodeon, so I only saw it when I was home sick. Dimension-hopping koalas have to be a fever dream, right?

@Taweret there are several but this one stands out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinwheel_%28TV_series%29?wprov=sfla1

@srol @Taweret That intro is such a banger

@Taweret Turbo Teen.

@Taweret Battle of the network stars (at least I wish it was a hallucination)

@Taweret Also Kidd Video lived deep in the back of my mind for decades until the modern internet managed to piece together some episodes and now I own an album of all the original songs from it because sometimes eBay is kind of magic.

@Taweret But seriously, there was show we would watch in first grade (1974-75) about a bunch kids who sang about the four food groups and some nutty teacher who was the butt of all their jokes. Anyone remember that?

@Taweret
For a long time, I couldn't find "UFO" (1971?), so I began to wonder if it was a confabulation. But I did catch up with it again in the 2000s.
