Roy with Knock Knock - The Great Space Coaster

[Darksong1212]

I had a stuffed toy of Knock Knock.

[psaunited]

Listen the song Cat´s Eye ;D

[yoman321]

Ray got his start at the Crystal Pistol onstage at Six Flags.. John Schneider from Dukes of Hazzard used to sing there too

[bolver25]

It's like a generic sesame street.

[eeplebert]

that little TV at about 15 seconds in... a lifetime of gadget geekdom was born right there.

the idea of a TV that played ANYTHING you wanted to see?!?!?

this made me want my first view-master projector, made me want to run my grandma's slide projector, me want my first computer, my first palm pilot, my new phone...

[MsBlueEyes1994]

I think that little TV was stolen from the Star Trek prop department. Also, why would Speed Reader do a handstand and read newspapers. I'm just saying is all.

[MGHSHour2a]

TGSC showed diffrent varities of cartoons

[MGHSHour2a]

i have a group on this show, everyone can join it

[76sagi]

that tv was so cool.... i wanted one. hell, i still want one.

[videocircus]

I remember him pulling out that little screen and this line drawing animation would play on it. The characters in the animation would simplly make the sound "Noo Noo Noo Noo"......I also remember the guy who used to do eyeball excercises LOL.

[UncleDeluxe]

Remember when that little folding TV thing seemed soooo advanced?

[D2Kprime]

@UncleDeluxe : I still want one. :0)

[LokiDWolf]

OMG! I remember this when I was a kid! Shows were so creative back then!

[eshaw2115]

Hard to believe the little TV Roy was holding was ahead of it's time.

[LosPinosTacoFreak77]

Rest In Peace Ray "ROY" Stephens...

[zangazoo2007]

@LosPinosTacoFreak77 Indeed. Such a pity he passed away. Do you remember a song that he sang called 'Mr. Piano" on the this show?

[KidFromNewark]

@LosPinosTacoFreak77 He died?

[cqtaylor]

The 80s version of the iPhone!

[Skymouth]

I'd always wanted one of those tvs!

[hazelwitchhazel]

I remember seeing a Halloween cartoon on Roy's tv screen. I can only remember bits and pieces of it though...

[tlyoung88]

I've been looking for this. I used to adopt Ingomar as my fake name as a joke.

But is it really Ingomar? A play on Ingmar Bergman? Or is it something else?

tony

[fl1992]

Do you ever watch The La Linea chalk segments on TGSC?

[davykrump29]

Do you remember the Alamo?

[zangazoo2007]

@fl1992 I have, and they are hilarious. Some are on You Tube.

[differentdude01]

Damn. I always thought that supid pocket TV was real and always hoped one was under the christmas tree every year.

[fl1992]

Goriddle Gorilla used to call Roy's little pocket tv his movie machine!

[BriSchwa82]

@differentdude01 They would've made a killing if they made a version for kids even if it was like a viewfinder.

[titan1976]

Knock Knock was my girl!!!!!

[fl1992]

Do you remember the anti-gravity day episode in coasterville when Knock Knock flew up into the sky like a speeding bullet and brought Frannie's floating guitar back?

[celticsunlimited]

Hey... that's Ray Stephens... He became a member of the Village People during the mid-80's...

[fl1992]

Ray Stephens passed away 18 years ago at age 35 back in the year 1990- may he always rest in peace in heaven.

[fl1992]

Do you have a favorite GSC episode with Frannie and Goriddle Gorilla?

[fandango449]

That was La Linea coming up. Shooby dooby doo-wah tha hey hey.

[fl1992]

Do you remember the episode where Frannie as a practical joke using a hammer made Goriddle into a fake scarecrow in Edison Elephant's corn garden?

[drlarrymitchell]

THE WORLD'S FIRST iPOD!

[Mogwai06]

are they saying "ingomar" at the end? its quiet. i can barely hear it. didnt that little screen show a cartoon of a guy that was just like made of an outline or a line or something?

[fl1992]

I remember that Goriddle's little friend was also known as La Linea, a screeching chalk figure that went through lots of obstacles drawn by a pencil from a hand. La Linea was an Italian animation segment done by animator Osvaldo Cavandoli of Milan, Italy.

[Mogwai06]

that's the one!!! dude, thats been in my brain for twenty-something years. you have just helped me remember that little dude. right on!

[fl1992]

Roy used to call his synthesizer his movie machine. Do you remember Frannie's teasing nature with Goriddle Gorilla?

[drlarrymitchell]

Thank God!

I thought I was the only one!

Almost as bad as my obsession with the Yeti fro the Electric Company Spider-Man feature who sucked ice cream cones with his ass to make kids cry!

[fl1992]

Do you remember any of Frannie's practical jokes that she played on Goriddle Gorilla?

[ShangoJamal]

I remember Roy wearing out a song called

MR RHYME.

MR RHYME, MR RHYME

DON'TCHU GO SEE HIM

IF U DON'T HAVE THE TIME

[fl1992]

I remember one GSC episode where Goriddle was doing a talk show. Goriddle left both Knock Knock and Roy as guests out. Goriddle was rude to them both.So they left him all alone. Then Goriddle with no one else left, so he then started talking to himself!

[eatyouricecream]

This is great! Does anyone remember Roy showing a cartoon with a carrot & potato laughing at each other? I think it was simply called "Weird". Anyone know where to find all of those wonderful cartoons?

[fl1992]

I remember in one episode where Goriddle Gorilla was using up all of Edison Elephant's crayons. So Roy showed them a cartoon about all lands made of color called blueland and pinkland.

[fl1992]

Do you remember the time where Knock Knock harassed Goriddle as a being made into a fake scarecrow in Edison Elephant's corn garden? She said, Fran and Edison have been gone a long time now! Frannie as a practical joke using a hammer made Goriddle into a fake scarecrow to teach him a lesson for stealing theirs!

[mzlaydeegirl]

is that Jessie from All My children??!

[fl1992]

Do you remember when Knock Knock met Actress Sally Struthers as a GSC guest star by her tree?

[Pushcome2shove]

Mann I remember wanting one of those things when I was a Kid. And I remeber my cousin saying they probrably won't have those until the future. Thanx Apple!!

[fl1992]

Do you remember TGSC episode where the whole gang all went camping in a music video segment? They all sang, We All In Live In A Yellow Submarine together.

[Kimmie10]

I remember that little screen he had... What memories.

[fl1992]

Do you remember TGSC episode where Baxter brought back a strange rock from space to Coasterville? By touching it, it made him, Goriddle, Knock Knock, Fran, Danny, Roy, and Gary Gnu all stick to one another! TGSC cast sang while they were all still stuck!

[Kimmie10]

You know what? I don't remember that episode...  Hmmm... Sorry.

[fl1992]

Do you remember the episode where Frannie using a hammer made Goriddle Gorilla into a fake scarecrow in Edison Elephant's corn garden? Or the anti-gravity day episode where everything in Coasterville, including Frannie's guitar went flying in the air? And Knock Knock brought it back?

[BriSchwa82]

@fl1992 I actually still have the anti gravity day episode and for sure it was the strangest and funniest.

[NMDude73]

I loved it when Roy would bust out with that little TV thing, pop in that little tube, and play cartoons! I remember I wanted one of those. LOL!!!

[fl1992]

Do you remember 16 year old Frannie's teasing nature with Goriddle?

[BeautyBuyNature]

Wow  - was it that long ago?

[fl1992]

The Great Space Coaster ran syndicated for 5 years from 1981-1986. Do you remember when Knock Knock met Actress Sally Struthers as a guest star by her tree in the 1982 season? They together talked about Sally being on All In The Family.

[buzzybeatle]

I am so old !!!!

[fl1992]

Do you remember TGSC episode, where the 16 year old brunette Frannie sang in a video, To Be A Dancer!?

[himalayaman]

ROY WAS DA MAN!!!

[TuxKamen]

I forgot all about the little TV till he pulled it out.

[fl1992]

They called it a Movie making machine!

[blondeheroine]

For the longest time, I thought I had dreamt up that little TV. I'm glad I can put the debate (in my own head) to rest. :p

[fl1992]

I loved The La Linea screeching chalk segemnts!

[fl1992]

Does anyone remember when blonde Actress Bess Armstrong of Jaws 3 guest starred on The Great Space Coaster? She sang a duet with Knock Knock that went: You let that man get away! Bess Armstrong also guest hosted The Gary Gnu Show, where she got a banana cream pie in the face by Gary's mean Gnu crew!

[ShangoJamal]

ROY DEAD!

[fl1992]

If wish that there were more GSC video clips available of 16 Year old Frannie and Puppet Goriddle Gorilla!
