I am so happy to see this on YouTube. I watched it when it was on the air but haven't found anything about "Buster's Ape Show" online before. Whenever I'd tell people Buster had a spin-off show after "Buster And Me" they'd never believe me!
Thank you so much for posting this! I was a huge fan of "Buster and Me" as a kid. Although I too was unaware of "Buster's Ape Show", it's great seeing this as it brings back so many memories. The kids laughter in the studio audience is hilarious!
I never knew there was another Buster show! What a trip! I remember when I saw "Mrs. Doubtfire" and Buster came on everyone in the audience yelled "Buster!" (Although his name in the movie was Kovacs, but he was our Buster, darnit!)
Buster, Vanilla, and Russell! It's so neat to see these characters again. I used to watch "Buster and Me" on KRON all the time in the 1980s, but I didn't know there was another, later incarnation of the show. Does anyone have the theme song for the original series? I'd love to see it again!
Oh dude you got to be on this show? How awesome! I loved this show as a kid. Did u see the episode when buster's older lady friend died in a helicopter accident and they dealt with death? That was my real first intro to death.this show was the bomb! Love seeing him in Mrs Doubtfire!
oh man u got to put part two up, i need to see more Russel he was the bomb, a flaming queen, but he was the funniest. i read in the chronicle they are gonna make a buster website and dvds! they still go around town with puppets, except Rusell the guy who played him died of aids, sucks. wow you are the only one online with buster video man, thanks so much
I got to thank u again man,i am 30 and watching this turns me back into a lil kid. it really holds up and is still hella funny. which kid are u in the audience? THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS. Maybe we should start a petition to get Buster and me DVDs, its a local bay area thing so its gonna take a lot of interest for them to make profit and go ahead and decide to produce them.
Gotta love Russel, an early gay icon...I had no idea back then, but watching him again, it all makes sense. That's San Fran for ya. ;)

This was so cool to see. I too was on the show in 5th grade, but my sister taped over the tape with 'Wonder Years'.
