One of the season 5 episodes, Peter talks about his trip on the Great Space Coaster. Which show was this based on? The episode is the one where Quagmire falls in love with Peter’s maid.
It was based on…The Great Space Coaster! The scene from Family Guy parodied the opening title sequence for TGSC.
It was Rio, by Duran Duran.
Ah yes! My show! I hosted The Gary Gnu Showsegment, as well as The Gnu Gnews.
Here’s pictures of Me.
Did you know it’s where Kevin Clash (Elmo’s puppeteer) got his start?
I actually thoght for a second that you might be the guy that did the voice of Gary Gnu. Then I checked your profile. We have the same birthday BTW, I’m just a few years older. I’m surprised they were still showing it when you would have been old enough to remember it. I barely remember it myself. Weird show, but vey cool.
Well, it ran from 1981 to 1986. I don’t remember too much other than Gary and Baxter.
I remember bits and pieces.
The only characters I can name from memory are Gary Gnu and M T Promises.
I remember musical numbers, stories, and Cousin Oliver in the form of 3 pastel seal-like things, and a green alien with candy corn horns.
I remember Mark Hamill being a special guest star on the show, and I also remember “No g-news is good g-news with Gary Gnu.”
