Hi CherylandRichard,

Oh gee, now you got me curious too...so I had to look it up (and lol..along the way had to reconnect as my dial-up internet timed out)...

And this is what i found with a quick search: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0220895/

So I was right after all, about the creatures being "Quaigmire" and "Bog" (and about the other characters too)! The pink one (female sister) was Quaig, and the orange one (male brother) was Bog. Funny, I always thought when these two talked, they sounded like they had a British accent of some sort. They were the only ones that lived in the swamp (actually in the moat/sewer system under the castle). And no, the other characters lived directly in the castle, or somewhere else in the castle area.

Hope this helps. Lol..at least you can sleep better knowing that "Quaigmire" and "Bog" lived and went swimming in the Eureka's castle sewer/moat!

Ant (Singing..."Eu-re, Eu-re, 123...!!!... )

thats the one haha eurikas castle, oh man i loved that show, but now you gotta tell me what the one in the swamp was, they weren't all in a swamp, but they visited there alot? man now its gonna bug me, i wish i could remember more about it

I think it was by a government/non-profit group called "concerned children's advertisers", or something like that, that sponsored this commercial.

They also did that "Drugs, drugs, drugs, which are good, which are bad. Drug, drugs, drugs, ask your Mom or ask your Dad..." commerical too.

I love that commercial! When my fiancee talks about taking about her medication, she now calls it her "drugs, drugs, drugs"...and when we're typing in chat we've even coined the abbreviation: DDDSAGSAB (Drugs, Drugs, Drugs, Some Are Good, Some Are Bad...since I'd misremembered the exact words.)

Hi Cafemusique,

I think you might have a better memory than I have, as the words are "some are good, some are bad", not "which are good, which are bad", that I mentioned earlier..oops...

That's funny how you use "DDDSAGSAB" online...lol... (lol..certain medications are good, right?)

Ant (Wondering which drugs are good, and which are bad....)

Hi CherylandRichard,

Lol..ok, you asked for it (by naming more shows)...more Canadian theme song singing...lol...

"My pet monster, for he I can depend. My pet monster a monster of a friend. He's big and blue and scary, but a friendly monster too. My pet monster will make a monster out of you. He's always playing scary tricks, and I know that's ok. 'Cause he's just having lots of fun, scaring those other monsters away. He loves to much on garbage, he'll even eat the can. If this sounds gross, please understand, he's my best friend..."

"And now it's time for Ovide's video, video. And now let's get on with the show, yeah let's go" (by the way, they also showed this show on the french channel TFO too, which was funny to watch it in both french there and on the english channel on TVO.

"(something, something),...who knows how far you'll go. To a shining time station. Where dreams can come true. Your own imagination. Waiting there for you!". By the way, Didi Conn (the actress who played "Stacie Jones" was "Frenchie" in "Greese"), Ringo Star ("The Beetles") and George Carlin (the comedian) was Mr. Conductor, and one of the kids Kara (Erika, her real actress name was, was also on "bookmice"). Remember the characters of Schemer, Little Scheemmee, The Jutebox band, Uncle Harry, Billy Twofeathers, JB King etc. too? I think too, they also filmed before the Thomas and friends short stories originally from the British series, which they put in this show. Hmm..never knew that "Shining time station" was Canadian. For some weird reason, I thought it was an American show. I guess not then.

"Smokey, greesy, oily...smoogies...(something something)...We're the suntots, a neat and tidy crew, we'll stay young forever, and we want the same for you...(something something)...With the suntots and the smoggies, choose the way the world to be. A messy mess, or shiny clear, ecologically..." I always thought that a better name for that show was "Suntots and Smoggies" instead of just "Smoggies". The suntots kind of reminded me of little trolls and/or smurfs...lol...

here ant i got you covered

Have you met the Smoggies?

We love the soot and grime,

We make the whole world dirty,

And we have a real good time.

We love to make things messy,

Just as dirty as can be,

And you can bet we'll mess you up

Ecologically.

(Sun-tots)

Make way for the Sun-tots,

A neat and tidy crew,

We'll stay young forever,

And we want the same for you.

(Smoggies)

If we get your magic coral,

Then forever young we'll be,

Do you think you'll find it somewhere

In the clear blue sea?

(Sun-tots)

We use the water, wind and sun,

To make our homes and gadgets run,

Where else can you have such fun,

Environmentally?

(Sun-tots)

Come and see our island,

And smell the sweet, sweet breeze,

Where we'll live for ever,

Just as happy as can be.

With the Sun-tots and the Smoggies,

Choose the way the world could be,

A messy mess or shiny clear,

Ecologically.

Sun-tots, Sun-tots,

Earth and wind and sea, and

Smoggies, Smoggies,

Smoky, oily, greasy...

Hi CherylandRichard,

Ok, you got me stumped on the swamp show, so much so that I'm going to take a stab in the dark and take a guess in saying that the show is:

"Groundling Marsh" (was a YTV children's show in the early/late 90s). The characters lived in a marsh, but that's close enough to a swamp...

Did I guess correctly? Or are you thinking of something else?

Anyone else know what CherylandRichard's "swamp show" is?????

Ant (Wondering what the "swamp show" is?)

and im trying to remember another one, it was like these guys that lived in a swamp? any ideas here, my memory sucks

but now you gotta tell me what the one in the swamp was, they weren't all in a swamp, but they visited there alot? man now its gonna bug me, i wish i could remember more about it

Hi CherylandRichard,

Thanks for having me covered there by posting the lyrics to that song...lol..it looks like I'll be singing the "smoggies" song in my head all night in my head tonight...oh well...

Lol..not bad either, that I got a couple of lines right in my previous post, just from memory. I guess that just goes to show what "useless trivia" I have in there (and yet, I cannot remember my SSN properly..rofl...)....

Yeah, I liked that show too, as the main message behind it was to be more environmentally conscious...
