Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings - Dinosaur

[virtuousathena]

Wow, this was like a breate of fresh air from the past. I loved this cartoon when I was a girl :) Thanks for posting.

It says "told by bernard Cribbins". Is that Donna's grandad from Doctor Who?

[cburga]

@jadzia911 Indeed it is.

He has had a long and varied career. He played an a-hole boss in Alfred Hitchcock's "Frenzy", and he was the pushy, arrogant guest in "Fawlty Towers" that Basil thinks is a hotel inspector (he's really a spoon salesman).

the dinosaur disliked this cos he caught a cold!

[Zeldaboss9000]

Who the hell disliked this? This was my favorite show ever as a child and by direspecting it you're disrespecting me, I hope you're happy because you just ruined my day

I love this stuff, but I always thought the song's words were 'over the garden wall with you', yet know I hear something about a ladder. Hmm. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows if the piano music from 0:32-1:07 is original to this cartoon, or if it's something published by a famous composer? It's so melodic and beautiful.

@musicfan5044 I thought it was "over the garden wall with you" too. I've been remembering it that was for 35 years now.... hmmm.

[LWEST27620]

[yournotjohn]

Dear Scottish Federal Reservists. Did you check to see what Harry Potter would do? He is Scottish and Pharaoh. Give NoAh a chance. To make the cars and dinosaurs and trains all fit. When will I get my shot. Pass this message to Mercury. Peter Pan is Scottish. Bebo is too. Sambo and Bebo. Hannibal and Ghingus. Pilot and Judas. They lie. I am Truth

[SkyfireTheFox]

I used to watch this on Pinwheel over on Nickelodeon in the USA.

[volcanowatcher]

Wow. I'd seen the SNL version of this, and knew they were parodying this, only I'd never been able to find episodes of this show again. 'till now! As a child, I absolutely loved this. Thanks!

[mamaplante]

This is so peaceful! I remember it well. I loved this and there was another animated one with a pretty little song and a little girl with curls and something about big flowers in the intro...what was that? Too much 1970's in my brain perhaps or does someone know what I am talking about. The girl didn't talk, I don't think. Choppy cute animation...hmmmm

[JedionEarth]

This show was awesome.

[mikkaismycat]

Like a gorgeous smell you'll never forget from long, long ago, this song and show reminds me of how happy I was to hear and watch it as a four year old. Very pleasant to see it here. It was a big sunny patch in my childhood and great fodder for my imagination...

[deedeedriver]

I couldn't have put that any better. kudos to you mikkaismycat!!! it almost brings a tear. i rememeber before kindergarden in 1977 watching this on captain kangaroo. it was on of my fav cartoons on the show.

[mikkaismycat]

yay deedeedriver!... the things we draw do come true, I learned that young... :O).

[Shaay4Ananda]

@mikkaismycat

Me too! I was so happy to hear the little theme song again. :-)

[poliwhirl2014]

Wow......Is this from the SNL or is the SNL from this?

[gluband]

SNL was a parody of this. This was on Pinwheel, Captain Kangaroo, Romper Room. It was shown with Paddington Bear cartoons.  great old stuff. You are perhaps too young to have seen these?

[PUREJEZEBEL]

OMG! Thank you thank you thank you for posting!!! I love Simon!

[writinguy]

I wish they would release this series on DVD... I would love for my niece to grow up on this like I did.

[fifthninjaturtle]

my momma' remembers it - she's been asking me for YEARS if I knew where that song came from... I said I couldn't remember.

[samadkhatibi]

I realy liked this episode, i was just 3 when Iran TV showed it.

[jlumpkin01]

No one remembers this but me. Thank you!

[nyblueblue]

[Mascro1977]

[vaizal]
