Okay, here's a question that's been bothering me.
There used to be a cartoon that had a play-dough dinosaur in a minor role.
I think he was a friend of Gumby and Pokey but I can't remember. Along with
the dinosaur was some sort of blob of play-dough named Goo. (Goo was a girl.)
Goo had the ability the assume any shape she wanted. Like I said, I'm pretty
sure that they were friends of G & P.
I can remember one episode. It went something like this...
Goo, the dinosaur, and the two others (whoever they were) saw a sign in
the window of the local icecream shop: "ALL THE LEMONADE YOU CAN DRINK 5 cents".
They figure this is quite a deal so they all go in and give the proprieter of
the place their nickels and get their first glass of the stuff. They finish it
in no time flat and decide to get some more. When they try to get some more,
however, the guy says they can't have any more unless they cough up another
nickel each. "But the sign say 'ALL YOU CAN DRINK...',"says one of our heroes.
"Right," says the owner, "and that's all you CAN drink. Now get out of here."
Well our buddies aren't going to let anybody push them around like that,
so they somehow go back in history (or something like that) and get the dino-
saur's mother who comes back and bullies the ice-cream shop guy into giving
her son and his friends the lemonade they were entitled to.
THE END
O.K. now that you've got that...
1.) Were the other two charaters really Gumby and Pokey?
If not, who were the other two?
2.) What was the dinosaur's name?
3.) Why could Goo turn into any shape she wanted?
Was she from a different planet or something, or was it just something
that made her worth having on the show.
4.) what else can you tell me about the show?
