While testing a new program I thought I'd upload this intro to the Wallace and Ladmo inspired Checkers and Pogo Show in Hawaii from 1980. One of the actors who played Mr. Checkers died last week so think of it as a memorence. Anyone got a goodie bag they're tired of? Now everyone sing "Here comes Checkers, Here Comes Checkers, Checkers and Pogo Poge".

  • I lived in Hawaii from 1969 to 1974 and used to watch this everyday after school on our first colored television. I remember their adventures - there was one series where they were traveling in a big blimp and their enemy was (Secret Spy??). When he wore that nylon stocking over his head and prowl around I would have nightmares. Then there was that commercial for that "Exchange" drink and they always had this contest where people would build things out of the cans.

  • I always dreamed of sticking my hand in Pogos cap and scooping choke pennies!
