the main character was a worm riding around in an apple car with a bigass windshield. the worm had a green collared shirt i think. each episode focused on a different part of town.

let's see who really runs this shit.

According to IMDB, it ran from 1993 to 1999, hardly 20 years ago.

I loved this stuff. All the kids shows these days are crap!!!!!

6/27/2009 10:09:34 AM

Since you guys are so with it on kids' shows...I can never remember the name of this show that came on PBS, it used to come on right before Carmen San Diego or 321 Contact, but it was a boot that would talk, I don't know if he was part of a show, or if it was a show centered around the boot, because there was also a little pink shoe wearing lipstick. It wasn't a cartoon but like a real boot. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Just wanted to bump this thread to acknowledge that "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" is now, in fact, "from 20 years ago."

if i hadn't grown up watching this i would have assumed you were tripping on acid

11/26/2014 3:52:57 PM

A lot of kids' shows make you feel like you're on drugs. Or should be.
