Round 1 Match 9: Animal Division


Puppetry Battle!
Jeremy: Yet another European import/interpretation that penetrated Canadian children's consciousness through TVO. The theme song was probably the most memorable part of Jeremy's adventures.

Lambchop: Before Elmo, there was Lambchop. Cute and precocious, this puppet and her ventriloquist Shari Lewis were a mainstay in 70's TV. A highlight of the original Hollywood Squares.

Comments:
I WANT to vote for Jeremy.. my heart did a little skip in recognition of the travelling bear... BUT unfortunatly, that's not enough... I can't remember a single episode.. I have to vote for the lamb because I can still sing the theme song.
 
Jeremy is among the cartoons that I most regret not watching enough.

Many episodes formed a part of a continuous story, with adventures in the rocketship or other countries spanning a week or more.

He can dance and he can sing.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Do Re Mi!

Now that's a catchy theme song.

Also the fact that Jeremy, or "Colargol", is currently only available in European DVDs in Polish certainly adds to the ironic value...

I used to be so disappointed if I missed an episode of Jeremy Bear.
I can do most anything!
Like vote for the bear...
 
Looks like Jeremy doesn't need my vote, but I'm giving it to him anyways.

He didn't need to resort to self-promoting appearances on that great Canadian game show "Definition", unlike Shari Lewis and her darn sock.
 
Sock? Darn? You don't get it?
[still voting for Jeremy]
 
going for jeremy - the lesser known of two v. cool icons from my childhood. irony factor higher. plus, he was WAY more resourceful than dear ol' lambchop.

this was a hard choice between two good icons (none of that corporate crap in this battle).
 
moxywoman, don't you remember the brief role Lambchop had as the mascot for the short-lived "McRack"? A pre-processed slab of lamb meat with collectible "bonz" inserted into it containing witty jokes and catch phrases.
 
oh god, NO
say it ain't so
i have never heard of that, but it further solidifies my choice
 
I will say it ain't so just so you don't have a nervous breakdown. I was just foolin' ya
