Romper Room: Dan Can't Tie A Shoelace

[msnadiak]

I thought Romper Room was uniquely Australian.

[MondoBeno]

She's even more annoying than the American version.

Why can't she be more like the woman from "Rainbow"? That girl was hot. And the puppets were a lot funnier too.

[TheLollabisk]

@MondoBeno Hahahaha, you should see the "Twangers" episode of Rainbow. Hilarious. Never aired, of course, but still funny. :)

[MondoBeno]

@TheLollabisk I know the one you're talking about. The funny thing is, I always found Zippy's behavior very transgressive, no matter what he was doing. I love watching it as an adult.

[stbunnyface]

wow....this is a flashback!!!! I watch this in Manitoba, Canada...mid to late 60s....

[paddymcnamee]

This made my day.. give it a go spirit - knowing full well you couldn't do it haha - brilliant

[sighences]

classic, there's a giant dobee in the background, gotta love regional programming!

[triptriptriplestripe]

Jodie left you for dust Dan!

[DanIlic]

totally.. the bitch is probably a banker a macquarie and pulling down six figures and I now wear shoes with velcro!

[BareMaximum]

Oh snap! Jody showing us her mad fine motor skills.

[fardareismai12]

This is really good quality for vhs. Any more?

[cfnk76]

You know I have no memory of Romper Room. Yet my mother tells me I did watch it back then.

[tvlondon]

What market did this version air in? Definitely not the Canadian version I grew up with.

[DanIlic]

this was Sydney's. I think every regional tv station also had their own What a format!

[tvlondon]

It was awesome, that's for sure! Up here we had one produced by CKCO-TV in Kitchener, and aired across Canada on the CTV network. Before that one existed there were other local versions throughout Canada, including in London, Ont. and I think also Montreal.

There was a variant done by NBN Newcastle (check youtube-dot-com-slash-watch?v=­0HNktT4iEXU)

I was born and raised in the midwest. I tried not to miss romper room. Your comment on tying your laces really tickled me because i didn't teach him to tie his laces. I kept buying velcro and zipper shoes for a long time! But he knows his abc's and 123's!

[fletap]

brilliant!

[DanIlic]

thanks fleta! Pure genius if what i'd call it!

[19rain79]

Can you please post the magic mirror scene?

[abstar12]

Love it!

You were the funniest little kid :)

And you haven;t changed :P

[ProductionX]

Would be neat to see what a Romper Room looked like in other countries personally (heard Japan had one as well).

[NeoAngelRaziel]

Thats cute, and I love romper room ^^

I have to favorite that ^^

[rcaston19]

Different Miss Vicky than what I remember. But still pretty cool.

[andjb1]

isn't it Miss Helena?

[pggw]

What's really funny, is the girl who does it perfectly after you. There was always an annoyingly coordinated kid wanting to impress on Romper Romm.

[MattieCat]

dude give me romper room over Barney any day!

[alexaj83]

Dude this is AWESOME..how can i watch a full half hour episode from the 80's????

[danpatmore]

TV in the 80's was amazing.

I'd love to see the network launch promos for this.

"Brand new episode, must see tv."

[DanIlic]

haha.. perhaps i should do one:-)

classic

[mijnnaamisaaron]

THIS IS AMAZING

FAVORITED RIGHT NOW
