Hubby turns on the Wii to watch a movie on Netflix and I tell him to stop on the Wii fit channel. “Exercise, exercise!” he sings. “Come on everybody do your exercise!” I finish. We agree on the song but not where it came from. He thinks Electric Company or some other PBS kids programing. I’m sure it’s Wonderama. You all remember Wonderama, don’t you? ---

Hubby is surprised since he considers himself a Wonderama expert ever since his niece won an Apollo bike on Disco City. Looking at the Wiki entry I’m saddened at what a small section of the country enjoyed the kidtasticness of Wonderama. That’s where I learned that Kids Are People Too! ---

It’s “Wonderama” - I met Bob McAllister, once, at an autograph signing in New Jersey, when I was 8 or so. I think it was at a “Rickles” (a chain of hardware stores). ---

Never heard of it. I don’t think we had it in the Bay Area. ---

Absolutely Wonderama. I can still sing this song from memory from my days watching it (hosted by Bob McAllister) when I was a kid. I lived in southern California (near Santa Barbara and Ventura) and we got it on a channel out of LA, I believe.
