  • Sounds like you tried to record it without doing a direct audio hookup. Huh, why? If you can hook the camera to the computer, why not the old VCR audio to the computer?

  • loved this show.. oh man thank you!

  • thank you

  • I had a crush on Pepper *blush*

  • I remember Powerhouse. It was cool!

  • I need to know where I can get all 16 episodes of season 1 for Powerhouse? I am 38 going on 39 and, I remember this show well. This is one PBS show other then Reading Rainbow and 3-2-1 Contact that I loved a lot. This brings back awesome memories. Please let me know this info.

  • @The2009Ryuk I'm 36,and watched lots of The Electric Company, Powerhouse, Sesame Street, and mr. Rogers. My fave 3-2-1 Contact was when KISS was on there in around '79 and I overcame my fear of Gene Simmons @ 4 y.o. Mom and dad loved KISS, and I did too after he was on PBS. I was smart for my age, and decided if the network that showed Fred Rogers would show Gene, then he couldn't be that bad! I miss the 70's & 80's!!!

  • Hey thanks for uploading this. I was looking for a bunch of old TV themes a while back and couldn't find this one.

  • I did alot of this kind of thign as a kid as well.somewhere I have an old Laugh in with Davy Jones(Monkees) and Judy something(from Laugh in?) singing "Hello Love and Marrage" and they pronounce the state of Michigan (Mitch'i'Gan)

  • This was an awesome unforgettable show- along with Zoom - and the afterschool specials- brings back real good memories from childhood- I am in my 40's and will always remember those shows.

  • I FORGOT this!!! Awesome!

  • I know a person who sells the shows on DVD. I bought them. It's expensive at $20/episode, but I think worth it

  • @SJHFoto Does that guy have a website or contact? I'd love to talk to this guy about his sales. Please give me his email address. No joke. I just want to see the episode about the red eye virus.

  • @farcher3

    Yea. Email me at sales@sjhfoto.com, and I'll give it to you. I don't think I can tell you here since it's technically "spam" to promote things

  • OMG!! I totally remember this show!! Nobody seems to remember it but me! There was a girl named Pepper, right? She had long blonde hair in pig tails. i remember watching one episode and she smoked or something and then she strarted gagging. Hahaha. Wow, this brings back some memories!

  • anyone remember a show that had a typewriter that came out of a counter top.

  • @sentrand

    I think youre thinking of "Read All About It!"

  • @kengorski

    thank you. THAT IS IT. i have been trying to figure it out for over 20 years.

  • @kengorski yes i was. thank you

  • took me back!!! cant forget Bloodhound Gang!

  • @unique74muzik..Bloodhound Gang is in 3 2 1 Contact shows

  • @wecarver68 thats right!! thank u for the reminder!! totally forgot!! "when you are in trouble, they're on the double."

  • I'm glad someone posted this, I was starting to think I imagined this show.

  • @KiddJetix I Should have put quotation marks around it--just quoting the song.

  • @KiddJetix Don't forget the 70s. PBS was banging until about 1990...I see they're TRYING to make a comeback but they have a long way to go. Too many cartoons not enough live action shows.

  • I was explaining to a friend what the concept of this show was about...it was like the Social Studies show of the PBS shows of the time...321 Contact and Zoom being Science...Square 1 TV and shows like Measure Up being Math, and the Electric Company being Reading and English. All the basis were covered by SEVERAL shows back then...ahh the good ol days of educational programming.

  • funny i still know all the words, but i remember the episode when someone got sick from food poisoning

  • I must've been about 4 yrs old maybe younger. I remember one episode where one of the kids got drunk and I just vaguely remember a kid spraying Binaca (breath spray) to cover up the alcohol smell...

    I dont know why I remember that shit.

    I think this must have been in 81 or 82... i don't even think it was 83. I was born in 78 so you do the math.

  • 1212 Leosnake - Yes, his name is Jack Horkheimer and the name of the show is Stargazer. It's wonderful and educational. Look him up on the web.

  • I did not to long ago. Even got the intro music on MP3(Im such a nerd, LOL)

    But man the same stuff I ridiculed back then is the stuff I came back to.

    Thanks for the info.

  • Say, does anyone know the name of this astrology show that came on PBS with this crazy looking brown haired man? All he talked about was stars and moons and the next eclipse? If you do, pls tell me. I loved that show. Not sure if it was Stargazer. But thank you for helping to anyone who helps me out.

    Id really appreciate it

  • @1212LeoSnake I think you're talking about "Star Hustler" with Jack Horkheimer

  • jaydee72 Yes it is. thank you.

  • Been wanting to hear this for years. Thanks for putting it up. Right now, I only remember one episode that took place at a carnival...saw a short clip that vaguely looked familiar. The only one I remember is Pepper.

  • @CoolJAT what about Rolo

  • This show rules! I loved Pepper :)

  • Thanks for posting a theme song to a show that I wouldn't go outside until it went off! Thanks and Fonzie was the lungs!

  • AWESOME!!! I remember watching this show back in the early 80's!

  • That song was cool back in the days. Love them 80's.

  • I thought "Powerhouse" aired sometime earlier than what its Wikipedia article claimed (Dec. '82 to Jan. '83), but I still remember this show vividly. TLC also aired the re-runs back in the early '90s.

  • THANK YOU! I've remembered this theme song for over...what, twenty years? I watched it in school, but no one else in my classes remembered it!

  • I knew I wasn't the only kid that watched this show. None of my friends remember it......Ahhh the good ole days..... Bring the classics back.

  • The Powerhouse is you!

  • I TOTALLY remember this show and nobody else does. Thank You. Wish someone would post episodes.

  • I noticed that all the networks even the cable and satellite ones NEVER have room to run great shows like this but dull boring crap instead.

  • I swear I thought I was the ONLY one who remembered this show...I wish they'd bring all the old shows on PBS back...at least on Saturdays or something.

  • Shows like this need to be replayed on TV. Badly....

  • Thanks! I wish they would replay this on PBS!

  • yeah bad quality, but excellent upload dude! we used to watch this in my 6th grade social studies class.

  • Powerhouse rules!!!!

  • Oh WOW I never thought I'd hear this song again. Thank You so much for posting this!! I can still remember ALL the words.
