Do you remember The Famous Child Actress Aileen Quinn AKA "Annie" having long, shoulder length ,brown braids when she met The 3 Furball Puppets, The Huggles, named Fluffy, Puffy, and Scruffy on The Syndicated 1980's childrens t.v. show, Great Space Coaster children's t.v. show? She must have been about 13 years old at the time. She sang the song "Tomorrow" to them. I believe this episode may have been taped around the show's 4th season back in 1984. The picture of Aileen Quinn on The Great Space Coaster is @ the great space coaster homepage @ www.great space coaster .com on the guest star section. I don't remember Aileen sitting on a rock was she was a guest star on TGSC, though.I used to watch this show every morning before grade school.This daytime children's t.v. show ran 7 succesful seasons from 1980 to 1986.It won several peabody and emmy awards.Please sign the bring back the great space coaster online petition @ www.petitiononline.com/TGSC because it already has 1,905 signatures. Do you remember Frannie, the very pretty 16 year old brunette singer/female lead/guitar player in TGSC band who used to play practical jokes on Puppet Goriddle Gorilla and also used to Tickle him? Do you remember Gary Gnu and The No Gnus Is Good Gnus Show. The T.V. News Program guaranteed to contain no Gnus whatsoever! Gary Gnu had other Female Guest Stars on his show such as Linda Gray of Dallas, Charlotte Rae of The Facts of Life, Bess Armstrong of Jaws 3, and Actress "Mary" Kathleen Turner of "Romancing The Stone." Do you remember when Gary Gnu's crew used to throw things at him like a Gnu Turkey attached to a string? One time Gary's crew started throwing shampoo bottles at him. TGSC Guest Star Kathleen Turner yelled at the crew."Yes, Ms. Turner", the crew obediently said. Then Kathleen left The Gnu Studio. Gary cried, "No, Kathleen, don't go! My crew only listens to you, not me
!" The crew once agin started throwing Shampoo bottles at Gary. Kathleen Turner came back. She took one shampoo bottle in her hand and with the other hand stroking Gary's head said, "Gary Gnu, you need a shampoo!" "Oh. Gary said, only you can touch my hair that way, Kathleen!" I also remember the speedreader, who used to read book reviews every week on The Gary Gnu Show. One time, Gary and Speedreader were talking in the studio. They heard groaning in the distance. It turned out to be Puppet Goriddle Gorilla. Goriddle said, "I just ate 10 banana splits. And my tummy hurts!" Do you remember the time Goriddle Gorilla stole Edison Elephant's Scarecrow to use to play Soccer? So Frannie, as a Practical Joke made Goriddle into a fake Scarecrow in Edison Elephant's Corn Garden to teach him a lesson for stealing. Do you remember the time Goriddle Gorilla was doing a talk show at The Coasterville Ampitheater and Frannie as a Practical Joke kept hitting a bell on a table to distract him? Goriddle yelled, "Don't ring the bell, Frannie!" But she kept on doing it! Do you remember the time Goriddle Gorilla stole Baxter The Clown's Father's Bananaman Videogame Birthday Present? So as a practical joke, the 3 teenagers Frannie, Danny, and Roy decided to take all of Goriddle's Bananas away from him to teach him a lesson. Do you remember the other guest stars on the great space coaster such as Mark Hamill, Valerie Harper,Sally Struthers, Carol Channing,Composer Marvin Hamlisch, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Henry Winkler, Gerri Jewell, Richard Kiel,Ice Skaters Tai Babilonia and Randy Garner,Rock Steady Crew Dancers ,and Singer Karen Carpenter- May She Always Rest In Peace In Heaven.Do you remember the time Frannie found Goriddle on top of The Coasterville Ampitheater pretending to be King Kong? Do you remember the time Goriddle and Frannie sang a song together about being special? Please look at the great space coaster homepage @ www. great space coaster.com as it was just updated with new photos! The photo of Aileen Quinn on the guest star page has been there for a long time now.Please write me back soon. TGSC was a very educational show! Lets get this classic 1980s live action children's t.v. show back for another generation to enjoy! "Annie" was my favorite movie when I was a kid in the 1980's.
