Anyone else grow up watching this spectacular show? $\:D/$

For me, it's yet another show I hope will come to DVD someday.

My friend and I used to get up early (8 o'clock) on Saturday mornings to watch that show... $\:D/$

Though, by the time we watched the episodes, they were probably a couple of years old.

Yes! Another show my sister and I loved to watch! Oddly enough, I was just thinking of a scene from this show not too long ago!

I have a VHS tape or two from when our local Christian station had a marathon many years ago! $\:D/$

That, I think, was my totally favorite show in those days! $\:D/$

That was my favorite show when I was growing up $\:D/$ I still have a lot of their tapes in the basement and that sure brings back memories

We HAD some tapes.... but my mom threw them away

And sadly, they've no plans for real DVD releases... all they do is offer video tapes with a whopping TWO episodes on them for $20 a piece.

It's a great show, but no way can I pay that much. I wish they'd release them all in seasons...

I remember in the REALLY early days they had like a studio audiance of kids and basically just threw pies in the face of "El Diablo" the whole time, and the show continuously matured, which I thought was cool... the puppet segments got fewer and fewer, and the gigantic talking dogs disappeared...

The Puppets and everything are still a part of what the church does for it's children's stuff. They included it in the show because it was common with the kids of their immediate audience. Once their fan base opened up, they slowly dropped it.

I saw somewhere that someone contacted Billy George Ministries about releasing DVD's and they said "they'd think about it."

I hope so, even if its just the later shows...

I don't want to start another topic about it... but anyone remember Captain Hook and Joy Junction? They were on with Gospel Bill when I was a kid...

I've never heard of them...

Absolutely!!! $\:D/$

They weren't as good as The Gospel Bill Show but I watched them just as often!!!

I even got a Captain Hook set from the show

I've watched Joy Junction. Never heard of Captain Hook, though.

I used to love the whole Joy Junction thing! $\:D/$

Have you ever wanted to go to Dry Gulch USA, Cowboy? If I were as close as you are I would have definitely begged my parents $\:D/$
