Buster and Me

[jquevedo61]

This show is so sweet and so funny- it kills me what passes for children's entertainment for the last 20-30 years... My six year old loves these old shows and she's not sitting through a thirty minute commercial trying to pass as a kids show. If I had the means I'd yank off all the crap they have on tv lately and put on real entertainment.

Oh man, this brings back the memories. I used to make fun of my older brother for looking a little like Buster. Haha.

Me and my friends to this day, will mimick Russell. This was a great show thank you for posting this.

I miss Saturday mornings inthe 80's. I had a friend that was on this show at one time. Sadly, he passed away.

OMG I remember watching this when I was little! And I had to do a double-take the first time I saw Buster at the end of Mrs. Doubtfire!

You guys remember the show where their house flooded and buster made the pump that worked by a wheel that russell would turn to let him eat peanut butter? That's my favorite show. I emailed the folks at busterandme about it. They are all very lovely and wonderful people. They seemed like the appreciated the thanks!

wow... i was on this show many, many years ago when i was a child with my school (san francisco community school)

[ROCCOBABY]

AWESOME!!!!!!! I loved this show! =)

[landshark80]

This was one of my favorite shows growing up in the 80's! I hated that I had to watch it on KRON, which did not want to come in on our crappy antenna in the mountains. I watched it anyway, though, and looking at it again, I can see that it really was quality television!

[flwrgrl80]

OMG! I still have nightmares, to this day, of this show!!!!

Grew up in the Bay Area as a kid and didn't realize this was locally produced. When I asked other people about this show they looked at me like I was crazy lol.

Is it me or is this sort of a scary show? Or maybe it was one episode featuring a ghost or nightmare. . .not sure. Too long ago. Still scary to me >_<

[bakerpb]

I laughed so hard at some parts, like, "Ok keep you stupid ole box... probably a moron in it!"

[bakerpb]

Wow I never saw this show and I grew up in the bay area! It's very well done!

[bunnygal079]

Wow is'nt this a blast from the past! I used to watch this every Saturday morning lol.

[Tha4thLetterr]

same here... I miss being a kid in the 80's

[ImanitheDJ]

holy mother of @$#&! I got chills, Totally forgot about this. The sound of Buster's voice opened up a chamber of my mind that had been closed since I was like 4

[frenchjr25]

Check out the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. That's Buster with Robin Williams at KTVU.

Buster's puppeteer, Chris Pray, was Williams improve coach in the 1970s.

Glad you like it.

[ImanitheDJ]

I didn't know all of That, super Cool, Thanks

@frenchjr25 Thank you for posting! I love all the great bay area throwbacks. Takes me back to a simpler time. And my kids love Mrs. Doubtfire! I took them to the actual house off of Broadway just to show them that it was really filmed in SF.

[gunbuck7]

Love the headband on the monchichi.

[UncleRabbit1]

I grew up on this show back in the eighties.

[BlackSoultan]

Holy crap! I haven't seen this show in over 20 years!!!!

[loveutoto]

"Buster, you forgot Space Baby's head!" LOL, he forgot the rest of her too!

[AnnainCA]

I used to love watching this show on KRON.

[PSYCHEDELICDAISY]

Thank you so much for posting this. I used to watch this every Saturday morning. It's great!

[snakehands]

What was in the box????!!!!

[NunnelNursuries]

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been trying forever to find this. Didn't realize it was a Bay Area only show and thus not as easy to find as some other shows from my youth

[frenchjr25]

Sadly Russell and his creator passed away many years ago.

[mrdandy]

This was a great kid's show, I loved watching it. It was great to see Buster's cameo in Mrs.Doubtfire too!

[WreckToll]

This was one of my fav shows among all the cool saturday morning cartoons. We seriously need more locally produced media. Visit my page. Say hi. Thanks frenchjr25!
