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

@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 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. -
@Taweret
Oh god nobody has mentioned this one and it's a fucking doozyA show where the protagonist would go into a laser tag arena and shoot a pillar and then be transported to space to fight to save the galaxy.
No, really.
Even at the time it felt goddamn surreal.

@Taweret Some PBS-shown educational show (I think about math) where there were a couple young folks in a space station. There were computers with tape drives. This was 79-80, so skylab-era.
I only remember seeing episodes once or twice -- at least once was actually in class -- and I have never been able to track down what it was.
I assume it was some obscure AIT thing I'm misremembering, but I have no idea.
@Unlikelylass @Taweret Makes me think of Tomes and Treasures, which was a public television sci-fi show meant to teach about libraries and books. I watched it at elementary school in the 80s. For a while I think I was convinced it was Doctor Who, which it bore a fair resemblance to.
