Did you imagine the roller coaster in space, or the snarky green puppet
with the "Gnews"? You didn't hallucinate ituyouAre remembering The
Great Space Coaster. In this Fever Dream Nostalgia deep dive, we
explore the chaotic history of the legendary 1980s syndicated kids show
that disappeared from television and became a piece of lost media
history.

Created by puppet master Kermit Love (the man who built Big Bird and
Mr. Snuffleupagus for Sesame Street), The Great Space Coaster was a
staple of 80s childhood TV. We break down the history of the show, from
the catchy 80s synth-pop music of Francine, Danny, and Roy, to the
iconic characters like Gary Gnu (oNo gnews is good gnews!o), Baxter the
clown, and Knock Knock the Woodpecker. We also investigate the surreal inclusion of La Linea, the angry Italian line drawing that haunted our
morning cartoons.

Most importantly, we reveal the shocking secret origin of Elmo.
Discover how Kevin Clash used his time as Goriddle Gorilla to develop
the skills that would eventually change Jim HensonAs Muppets forever.

Why can't you find high-quality episodes of this show on streaming or
DVD? We look into the tragic story of Sunbow Productions (the creators
of Transformers and G.I. Joe) and why the original master tapes were
erased, leaving only grainy VHS recordings behind. This is the ultimate
80s nostalgia trip for anyone who remembers the Space Coaster asteroid.
