Great Space Coaster

Up until last month, I recollected commercials featuring these puppets and a vclown interacting with Tiger Cubs the program sponsored by the Cub Scouts for 1st graders and I had a few dreams about this show and forever the title of this mysterious show eluded me. All I remember was this clown travelling in this space craft picking up children and then i found Retrojunk.com and my dream finally became a reality. Great Space Coaster was a chunk of my childhood that holds vague but fond memories, I remember getting up in the morning and watching Great Space Coaster and Kids Incorporated before they went strictly to Disney. I found out that theres actually a website dedicated to this awesome program and that Kevin Clash, the person behind Elmo was also involved in this show. I used to recall watch Knock Knock and Goriddle Gorilla telling what now seem like the lamest jokes but for a child back then were funny. It is a shame that tv of this caliber is no longer run.

The Intro


Knock Knock and Goriddle Gorilla



looking back on Goriddle he isnt what i would call a friendly looking puppet. Infact he is quite ugly.
