@freeasabird12907 Answer: Yes. The Ramona TV show was developed by the same people who created the PBS children's show Reading Rainbow. Ramona was a joint venture between PBS and the CBC. Ten 30 minute episodes were produced which span what was at the time the last three books in the Ramona series. The show aired in the US, primarily on Friday evenings at 5:30 PM Eastern on PBS, and was a mid season replacement for Degrassi Junior High in the US.
Wasn't this the inspiration to the hit movie "Ramona and Beezus"?
Selena Gomez was too old to have played Beezus in the movie in seeing the age difference of the two girls in this TV Series. Selena Gomez looked 10-12 years older than the girl who played Ramona in the movie.
There's an error on the street sign. One blade reads 'NE KLICKITAT ST' and the other reads 'NW 37TH AV'. Both should be NE, since it's located in the northeast part of town. ( My childhood home was not far from there)
Just looked up the show up on wikipedia after seeing this- apparently only 10 episodes were made but somehow i can remember this being on all the time between 1989-1990 in the UK?
I can't believe that is Sarah Polley out of Dawn of the Dead & Splice, she is extremely hot as an adult. I remember this used to be on channel 4 every sunday morning in the late 80's early 90's, all I remember is that she splats an egg on her own head, haha, brings back memories of my childhood
woa used to watch this in england when i was a kid used to think beezus was hot when i was about 8 and she seemed so old like waaay older than me. lookin at her now she just a wittle baby awww
Oh my god my sister and I used to love this show we used to say Ramona nd Beezus to eachother. Ha ha ha ha old skool clasic great clip it brought back lots of nice memories of when we were kids thanks for uploading. x x
if you have the kerry segal episode and could upload it , well that would be great her fans would love it thanks or contact me and i'll order it from you
Upload episodes, please! If you can I will subscribe to you :)
I am also interested in a copy...this was my all-time favorite as a child - would be awesome to see episodes again! I had them saved to my computer at one time...but it had crashed...and they all got lost :( Do you know where I might be able to find episodes online? (Need direct link and key words please) Thanks!
This seriously brought tears to my eyes. I wish I could go back 20 years ago to enjoy all my childhood tv shows. I would love to experience how I felt watching these shows back then. Nickeloden, Saturday Morning cartoons on CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, shows like Ramona and Encloypedia Brown, and Bozo, this was my childhood! I feel so sorry for the kids today. They'll never know what great children's programming is.
OMG. I thought no one would remember this show but me. I too was thinking back to my childhood, and this was one of the shows I watched. I couldn't believe how much I remembered the credits. TV was so much apart of my childhood. I didn't have a lot of friends. We had the best kid shows in the 80s/90s. These shows taught us, entertained us, and obviously left a special place in our hearts. Our shows didn't dumb us down like today's kid shows. You never know how good you had it, until you get old.
The janitor at my school called me Ramona Quimby every time I saw him, because I was the same age and looked just like her. "Hi Ramona!" I'd head down the halls. Magic.
I can't believe i actually found this becusz i was thinking randomly back to my childhood & one of the shows that i used to actually watch was this one. i used to be obsessed with this show. I miss my childhood.
I sent email, you better help me out, theres nothing on torrents, mu, rs, warez, video google etc can't find anything more than a couple dead edonkey links and they dont connect cuz theres no sources
GOD!! I remeber this show!! rememeber i was in love with this two girls ;) ;) have been looking for this show for years...couldnt remeber the name.. thanks alexis :)
@showbizzell you got a way of transferring that to computer someway, my young fella fell in love with the movie and i told him about the show cuz i watched it on PBS from the states but I'm from canada and the old canadian shows like this are IMPOSSIBLE to find. Please let me know
oh wow ramona - i just remembered it cos there is now a ramona and beezus movie (in 2010 no joke - i just heard about it). Bless ramona i used to love this show when i was a kid!
Why did the series only last less than a year? It ran from fall 1988 to January 1989. Also I read somewhere that all the episodes were produced in 1987 or maybe very early 88. Why did they wait so long to air these? Anyway I wish I could find tapes of these at our library.
I lovee this show. ..like I still check out the tapes from the library. I don't think that new ramona is going to capture ramona, beezus or the other characters well at all.
I was looking at the interview with the new actresses playing Ramona and Beesus and thought I'd look up the TV series from years ago. I had no idea the actress Sarah Polley that is in so many movies these days played Ramona from the TV series. This is amazing ! She has a wonderful career !
I remember watching this on PBS and thought it was a very cute series! Funny they made a movie of it now. My only gripe about the new is movie why didn't they have the original series stars in cameos?! Thanks for the awesome memories.
@voyager202000 PBS FTW. Yeah a lot of people don't remember this series. A lot people also don't even know that the original Degrassi series which continues on teen nick today also aired on PBS.
WOW! Thanks! I didn't think I'd ever find the opening to this! I used to watch this alot while it lasted of course. This is great, I really miss Ramona. This is what inspired me to read a little bit of one of the Ramona books when I was a kid. Thanks again.
i may be a guy but i had a huge crush on Sarah Polley growing up so i liked the series, but i wish someone would upload the one where she dreams of her parents getting a divorce, that one was my favorite
Oh my god my sister and I used to watch this religiously too it was my favourite tv show as a child. My sister and I were constantly sayin "Ramona" " Beezus" to eachother she was Ramona I was Beezus I can`t wait for the film thanks for uploading this on here oooh the memeories watching the yv series would take me back.x x
LOVED this as kid. We had a Betamax tape full of this...this is the reason everytime I think of Ramona, I think of her in a yellow raincoat and hat...
@AllisonTheSNLGuru I used to read the books in school too. I read them in 3rd grade 13 years ago. (Yes I'm born in 89 not 92) My fave had to be "Ramona Quimby age 8." haha. I remember the chapter where she thought she had a hard boiled egg in her lunchbox at school and cracked it on her head and it turned out it was raw, and the one where she threw up in front of everybody. We also watched an ep. of this on VHS in class once. This was only on for a year, in 1988-1989.
@italianman1992 - I was born in 1982, and my favorite was "Ramona Quimby, Age 8" as well. I saw a few eps and I can remember which books they came from as well. I really want to see more of this series...why aren't there more episodes posted??? It's a shame!!!!
Holy crap, I'd forgotten about this!! I absolutely adored the books when I was a kid, loved the tv series too. It's amazing how many memories can be uprooted with a theme tune! Class, thanks for uploading =D
This reminds me of my childhood SO MUCH. Wow. I absolutely loved this show and the cast. I have some of the episodes on old VHS copies, but I am really hoping that when the movie comes out later this year, they'll consider re-releasing the TV show on DVD. I really miss watching it!

Jiltedin2007 3 months ago
@Jiltedin2007 The answer is yes and no. The movie Ramona and Beezus is primarily based on Ramona's World, the final book in the Ramona series.
The TV series took the sub plots from the books Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and
Ramona Forever, and turned them into the TV series.
Had the TV show started at the point the book series started, Ramona would have been 4 years old.
