Steady Freddy The Electric Company Video

The Electric Company was an educational children's television series produced by the Children's Television Workshop, and broadcast 780 episodes over the course of six seasons, from 1971 to 1977.

The original cast included Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, Judy Graubart, Lee Chamberlin, and Skip Hinnant. Ken Roberts, who was best known as a soap-opera announcer, was the narrator of some of the segments during the first season. Watch unforgettable video clips of this amazing show every Monday here at Nostalgia Manila!



Steady Freddy
"My FRiend FReddy, wears and aFRo. He loves FRankfurters and FRench FRies!"

Ang animated film segment na ito ay designed and directed by talented filmmaker and Caldecott award winning author na si Gerald McDermott. Ginawa niya ito for The Electric Company noong taong 1971, bago niya ilabas ang kanyang unang children's book, Anansi The Spider. Noong una mong napanuod ito, naniwala ka na nakakatakot ang pelikula na pinapanuod ni Freddy. Mas lalo kang natakot nung napansin mo na puro mga mamaw ang mga katabi ni Freddy sa movie theater! Pero matapos mong mapanuod ito ng ilang beses, nasanay ka na at tinawanan mo ang mga itsura ng mga mukha ng monsters sa audience.

More about this tedious task of video updating!
Since Google took over YouTube, mas naging mahirap na mag post ng mga video clips dahil tinatanggal agad ng YouTube. The lifespan of videos being up for viewing is usually very short. Kaya kinakailangan talaga enjoy them while they last. Minsan sineswerte tayo, and some of our friends upload mga videos na tinanggal. Pero this is not so for older, less popular, and more rare videos, tulad ng ating mga videos for Electric Company Mondays, Cartoon TV Rama Spot, and The Sesame Street Lunchbox. Masmadaling humanap ng replacement videos for Video Hit Parade Classics, dahil mas marami ang nagsu-supply ng mga music videos.

If we had it our way, hindi natin makikita ito!

Pag nakita mo ito sa isang video page natin, patay! Ibig sabihin po nito, tinanggal ang video sa YouTube, at wala pang nag-upload ng panibagong copya ng video. Every Sunday, chine-check po natin kung may bagong nag-upload ng panibagong copya, pero madalas ay mahirap makahanap ng replacement.

Swerte talaga kung nakita mo naman ito!

Yehey! Ibig sabihin, na recently tinanggal ang video sa YouTube, pero may bayaning nag-upload ng panibagong video, kaya na-update natin ang link, at mae-enjoy natin ulit ang video. Ibig rin sabihin nito, ay malakas ka sa dasal!

Because the lifespan of our videos are so delicately limited, it is VERY IMPORTANT to SUBSCRIBE to the Nostalgia Manila Feed para lagi kayo updated pag may bago tayong video. And whenever we post a new video, whether it's a clip from any of our weekly favorites, or something we featured, eh enjoyin po ninyo ng husto! Panuurin ninyo ng paulit-ulit, hanggang literally magsawa kayo. Dahil hindi natin alam kung kailan ito kukunin ng Bidyo Pulis Patrol ng YouTube.

Nicholas Stoodley - Living in the Twilight Zone Chapter 7

Tune in every Saturday as Nicholas recalls the Disco Decade in Manila when Martial Law, Cuban heels, Donna Summer, Coco Banana and a lot of hair combined in a frenzy of uncertain excitement.

Chapter 7 - Skatetown

Skatetown came into being after a conversation I had in the early 80's with Jorge Araneta. He thought that Cubao needed an image shift. He was right! The problem with Cubao was...well, Cubao was in Cubao and not Makati or Greenhills where all the "smart" crowd went. Or so the theory went. Here was a chance to get wild and wild I got - in many ways!

Well, the ONLY way to get people to see Cubao in a different light was to do something way out of the ordinary - so I bought a 1957 Cadillac convertible and painted it bright pink. A good start. Then I crashed it into the plate glass window next to the entrance. The concept was Roller Disco. The lights, the music and Bose speakers with a hell thumping bass that made your hair stand on end...none of that anemic Muzak and neon strip lighting of normal roller rinks where glazed matrons watched with horror while their siblings crashed to the floor in convoluted heaps. This was meant to be SERIOUS. It had to be because to some extent roller skating under a raft of screaming lights to loud disco music in semi darkness produces an effect not guaranteed to be the best recipe for safety! I mean it was all very well luring the crazies from Makati to go all the way to Cubao (like it was the NORTH POLE in those days) but put them on skates to Donna Summer and you've got a serious potential problem. And that was only the start. I remember well nearly dragging one of the disc jockey out of the booth since the atmosphere inside the booth had become rather enveloped in a haze of marijuana fumes. Fun perhaps but dangerous. Dangerous.

This is an original invitation to the opening of SKATETOWN which opened in the early 80's. It was my project with Jorge Araneta.

The space up on the third floor of Ali Mall was cavernous and screaming for development and apart from an actually extremely good Italian restaurant where I once had lunch with Paul Anka, (who had the great misfortune to compose the favorite song of all bad singers in karaoke bars in the world: My Way) the rest of the floor was one great space waiting to happen.

Electro Systems were brought into create the lights and install a high-tech sound system and we worked, therefore, from the top down; working on the ceiling first since it was this cacophony of coordinated lights that would hopefully not disorientate the skaters too much that would create the mood for Skatetown. The DJ booth jutted out into the rink so that the disc jockey could see what was happening (unless he was stoned out of his mind) and was clad in mirrored sheets as was, in fact, quite a lot of the sidings. The original rink was painted with clouds but with the thousands of skaters that besieged the place they quickly faded into obscurity. Silver padded edging surrounded the rink itself and that lasted about a month only since bewildered skaters zoomed, temporarily blinded perhaps, into the sides at speed = shredding everything in their path! They were replaced with industrial strength vivid pink vinyl and the problem was solved.

At the far end of SKATETOWN there was, somewhat incongruously, a real Australian outback saloon that Jorge Araneta had purchased complete in Australia and had shipped over to Manila. It was as far away from a disco as you could imagine but it worked. Crazy was what was needed and crazy we got. Bit too crazy. The Araneta management decided that we needed to have periods every hour when the lights (the neon srip lights I hated) were turned on and the sound turned down so that more normal people who just liked skating could enjoy themselves without risk of brain damage or a broken arm or leg! It became the headquarters of an important skating club and these were serious skaters! They wore uniforms and not like the scarlet red one piece, zip up coveralls that I designed for the Skatetown staff either. It was a culture clash: me wanting wild and then wanting wholesome. But all in all - it worked!

The opening actually did attract the glitterati, I mean there really was, for all to see, Chinbee Monotoc, all the way from Makati in her Saint Laurent gliding across the rink hemmed in by A Listers from the "better" areas. They had made it to Cubao without getting mugged! Ernest Santiago of the famed Coco Banana arranged a show on skates and anyone who remembers Coco Banana will have an idea of how it was - outrageous comes to mind. So it was a great success and I wanted it to spread. I wanted to do the whole top floor as a sort of crazy, young vibrant place that would have all linked in together like cool Lego but it was too advanced a concept for that period. But Skatetown remains a great memory for many people. It was a spark. It ROCKED.

Start from the beginning! Read: Chapter 1 - An English Virgin

Nicholas Stoodley was born near London and has lived at one time or another in the South of France, Rome, Sydney, Tagaytay, England, Paris and Manila with plans to move to Ibiza shortly. A former assistant to Valentino in Rome, he arrived in Manila in 1976 and pioneered Ready to Wear in the Philippines with the NICHOLAS STOODLEY brand of casual clothing. During his stay in the Philippines Nicholas also won the PBA Invitational Basketball Conference in 1980 with his team from Los Angeles, designed and manufactured a Stainless Steel Sports Utility Jeep that was featured in the Frankfurt Motor Show and opened "Skatetown", a Roller Disco with Jorge Araneta in Cubao. And that was just the first course!

Marami kang nadiskubreng mga banda at music artists na may kanyakanyang mga hits, porma, at siyempre, music videos!

Jump - Van Halen
"I've got my back against the record machine. I ain't the worst that you've seen. Oh can't you see what I mean?"

1984 ang taon na lumabas ang kantang Jump na ini-release sa Van Halen album na tinawag ring 1984. Ang kantang ito ay ang only #1 hit ng grupo sa Billboard Hot 100. Madaling makilala ang kanta dahil sa synth intro nito, at siyempre din naman sa mga guitar at keyboard solos in Eddie Van Halen. Mula pa sa simula, kilala na ang Van Halen bilang isa sa mga matitinding hard rock bands; ngunit ang kantang Jump ang nagbigay daan sa pagiging radio-oriented at mainstream sound ng Van Halen. Natutuwa ka pag pinapanuod mo itong video na ito, dahil bilib ka sa mga stage acrobatics ni David Lee Roth, na siya ring nag direct ng music video.

A companion to Cartoon TV Rama, TV Times Television Greats features the best tv programs that span three decades. Watch opening sequences and famous scenes from your favorite '60s, '70s, and '80s tv shows!


Voyagers! (1982)

There was in exsistence a TV series about time travel way before Quantum Leap (which aired in the late '80s). Voyagers was a TV series about Phineas Bogg (Jon-Erik Hexum), a member of a society of time travelers called Voyagers. Phineas Bogg would go on time travel adventures with the aid of a young boy named Jeffrey Jones (Meeno Peluce). Time travel was made possible by using a device called an Omni, and the two adventurers would travel back in time to help history unfolded as we know it. Many historical figures appeared in this series, among them Babe Ruth, Cleopatra, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, and Harriet Tubman. Over the closing credits of each episode, Jeffrey Jones would say, "If you want to learn more about {whoever appeared in the show}, take a voyage down to your public library; it's all in books!"

Speed Buggy Cartoon Opening Video

There was nothing like watching your favorite cartoons on a rainy afternoon after school, or waking up early to catch Saturday morning cartoons. Relive the best of '60s, '70s, and '80s cartoons with Cartoon TV Rama!

Watch video clips of opening sequences and famous scenes taken from your favorite animated shows!

Speed Buggy (1973)

Speed Buggy was a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, originally airing for 16 30-minute installments on between 1973 and 1974. Similar in style to Hanna-Barbera's successful Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Speed Buggy followed the adventures of an anthropomorphic dune buggy, Speed Buggy (voiced by Mel Blanc), his driver Tinker (voiced by Phil Luther, Jr.), and Tinker's friends Mark and Debbie (voiced by Michael Bell and Janet Waldo, respectively). The three young adults and their car traveled from race to race, often encountering spy capers and mysteries along the way. Speed Buggy's trademark quotes were always "Roger-Dodger!" and "Vroom-a-zoom-zoom!"
