THE LETTER PEOPLE!!

[Renstein45]

I Always Loved watching this everytime it came on in at my first home:3 Takes me back to my childhood .. To bad Kids dont have this now :/

[cj222100]

OMG! Everytime I ask people "do you remember the Letter People" they think I'm crazy! I distinctly could remember that intro song, so I know I didn't imagine this! I thought I was the only one who remembered this!

[Ansonius77]

one of the teachers at the school my mom taught at had ALL the inflatable Letter People and would hang them up every year. I think she still has them actually

[lorderica]

no one my age remembers this....thank you!

[Strykor]

Could you send this to Retrojunk (dot) com please?

[arkansoul]

Our childhood shows really wanted kids to learn back then...

[TheMichaelW1]

i remember watching this when i was really young

[TheRepoMan1]

I don't know what gave me more nightmares as a kid . . . this . . . or HR Puff-N-stuff.

Witchiepoo and Miss A are the things in the closet just waiting for you to fall asleep . . .

[19311978]

whoa memories come flooding back! I used to watch this when I was like 5 or 6 or so. Me and my daddy would watch it together if I was home from school or something. Miss this show and my beloved father. Miss you, daddy!

[wubbie2steps]

Isn't Uncle Kracker's Follow me eerily similar.. huh do you hear the similarities too?

[frogmelonpie]

The moment I first heard his song, I immediately recognized it as similar to the Letter People song. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this. You can sing the letter people theme to the chorus of "Follow Me" and it matches up perfectly.

@frogmelonpie

THANK YOU! For years, "Follow Me" haunted me (not that I listen to it voluntarily), and I could never figure out why. I made the connection just tonight, searched 'letter people uncle kracker', and found your comment. I'm glad I'm not crazy.

[JerkbagProductions]

@wubbie2steps

Most definitely.

[ikickknowledge]

OMg thats a trip to see this its been to long

[bexmyxescapex]

[Ian16545]

[lilbeatlesfangirl4]

@bexmyxescapex I used to watch WOSU channel 34 but I watched the letter people in my kindergarten classroom. You must be from central Ohio like I am.

[NiceGreenGirl]

Scary!!!!

[poshko41]

I STILL sing this song sometimes! :D

[00RSZEX]

lol hell yea! I joined the Army 10 years ago, and ask people about the stuff back in the day and everyone looks at me like im crazy when i tell them about the letter people!

[19311978]

You go, soilder!!! You know the Letter People! Remember this...." 1,2 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8 9, 10, 11, 12!" (in sing song) Take care, solider!

[00RSZEX]

ABCD....follow me....I miss KETC. Nowadays I really enjoy the Living St Louis bits. I also miss NOVA and 321 Contact

[robfergusonjr]

@00RSZEX Those were great shows! We had it good growing up in the 70s and 80s and didn't know it.

[Dunes]

I just love that opening theme song,ABCD follow me..oh yeah.

[venicebeergirl]

Wow...the memories...(no wonder I turned out to be so crazy)!

[timoteo2]

Where's T...for Tallllll Teeth.

[meidc]

I'm now back in my 1st grade classroom.

[Virtuenow]

This takes me back. I am Ms. A. I don't remember why, but in kindergarten that's what I wanted to be in the school play. My teacher made me act as Mr. Q for "quiet". I guess she was trying to tell me something. I was mad.

[ljcrayton]

OH MY GOSH....

*cries* I MISS THIS SHOW

i grew up watchin this show....OH MY GOSH

[DiAnno13]

In San Diego, this aired on ITVS, Channel 23. For all I know, it still does.

[mooky9669]

this is a true classic!! I never missed an episode of this show..wish it was still shown on PBS...I miss watching the instructional programming during the day...awesome find!!

[breekola]

omg, now i know youtube has EVERYTHING. i haven't seen this in YEARS.

[94chevylow]

this was the show..i ride threw the sky on that bright light way up high on a clear night you might see me im not i dipper or a saucer or mars im a star ima lucky star

[SkyfireTheFox]

I remember this too!

Anyone remember the more politically correct Letter People that they had in the 90s? Those were awful!

[jvrecasner]

Damn Im old!!!

[drewski67]

If anyone is interested, I have the entire series available on DVD. I converted them from old cassettes I bought on eBay.

[92DoverTiger112]

I'm Mr. M, with a munchy mouth...My mouth goes munch munch munch....Mr T, had Tall teeth...I learned that stuff in 1978-1979

[sunshine62258]

I credit the letter people with helping me learn to read. Why in Kindergarden I was reading at a 3rd grade level....well 1st grade at least. LOL

[Tekka]

That was one messed up show. lol

[MicJones]

This was my shit in Elementary School!!!

It still comes on PBS I think...

[sonuvabix]

Ahh, the memories of Ms. Anselmo's kindergarten class back in the day. I've always thought whoever performed the intro music was tripping on acid, haha. "Words are made of letter people."

[TokoGT]

I remember in preschool (ork kindergarden) we had homework assignments that went along with these guys. I thought Mr V was a dick with his swav vest n shit and wanted revenge on Mr.B and Mr.Z for ruining it. I remember some of the stuff like it was yester day *wipes tear from eye* best times of my life

[Delightz20]

wow! wow! wow! the letter people are awesome. nah, for real they are. i must say my personal favorite is super socks (S) and munchy mouth (M).

[Dogboy66]

My wife loves this damn show, it always scared the shit outta me.

[paintedblue07]

I loved this show. I was born in 1980 and I remember our kindergarten teacher used letter people and a letter people workbook to teach us :-)

[pretearking]

I loved this when my Kindergarten teacher showed it to us. Mrs. Wolters from Burke Elementary. Did I spell Kindergarten wrong??

[tubergoober]

I have been fascinated with this show since i watched it as a kid. When the internet came along, i searched and searched for them but found nothing. I actually found the entire series on DVD + song CD on eBay. My girlfriend is 25 also but she had never heard of them so i thought she might dig them. This weekend i watched the Mr. K episode on acid and that kazoo sound was very disturbing. if i knew how to transfer DVD to FLV i would post, but i have a crappy computer.

[MicJones]

Where did you find the entire series? I must have it.

This was my favorite show growing up. I want my son to see it...

[Qwazniuk]

i remember when in the 1st grade i was punished for not finishing my work so i had to sit with the teacher in the back of the room and do it. she'd turn on the letter people and i'd peek my head over the wall on the desk and watch some of it when she wasn't paying attention.

[mdhaynes4]

this is amazing. I asked everyone I knew if they had ever heard of the Letter People. Not only is this awesome. It's proof I'm not totally insane.

[jennbluefirefly]

OMG!! Thank you so much for this video! Brings back memories! These people always scared me!!

And is it just me or do things start to get a little naughty at the end of the video?

[wackywallflower]

OH MY GOD!!! I have been trying to remember the name of/see this show for about 15 years now. I'm not even kidding. PLEASE post more, if you have more. I need it so bad.

[Jadamo]

I was beginning to think I was the only one who rememberd The Letter People. I'm 27 and I would watch that show religiously on PBS as a kid in the 80's. The intro song was stuck in my head all these year... till now...on YouTube. Wow, what an age we live in. I guess now I have to search for the Nickelodeon clips of Pinwheel and Maya the Bee. LOL!!

[beckigreen]

i remember this show.im 32 yrs old

[Latangel24]

OMG! The last time I saw this show was when I was in the kindergarten. That was like back in 1986. My favorite was Mr.M with the munching mouth. I also remember Ms.A with Achooo song.

[amandaggogo]

i havent seen the letter people since kindergarten...i belive that was in 1996...i love the letter people but mr m alwys kinda scared me i still have one of my coloring sheets with mr m on it

[StormyCat]

This is such an excellent show...it really does do quite a lot to teach children the sounds of letters while entertaining them. The kindergarten teacher I had still works, and still uses the Letter People to teach. I remember having fun with the letters and with Mrs. Irvin, she was my favorite teacher in the whole world!

[thisisme2]

I wonder why they don't air this for kids anymore? I was always scared of Mr. M. I haven't heard the theme song in ages.

[sapphire76]

I'm just glad someone else actually remembers this!! I was beginning to worry. Mr. F was my favorite. The "Funny Feet" song ruled!

[BevinKB]

Wow... I haven't seen such an ancient show since... since kindergarden.

Too bad this is the only Letter People I found.

[selim423]

OH THIS IS SOME LOW BUDGET EXCELLENCE!!!! BRING IT!!

[professorM]

there was one episode where they did a take off of Kung-fu the tv show... it was hilarious.
