To remember The Magic Garden?

Carole & Paula are doing a live show about half an hour from here on Sunday, so I'm gonna go with my sis & nephew!  I'm so psyched.  I talked to Carole on the phone once and was totally starstruck, but she's the sweetest lady.

Check this out:

Carole and Paula OnStage with the Original Sherlock
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: Carole and Paula in a Live Performance of songs, stories, fun and nostalgia, Guest Star The Original Sherlock, Musical Director Ian Herman AND a special selection of On-Screen Clips from the Original Magic Garden TV programs!! A family show for all ages! 
A Family Concert With Live Performance AND On-Screen Magic Garden Memories! 

I'm pysched!  And tix are only $12, which is essentially the same as a movie.  When my sis asked me, I was sure a live show would be like $50.  I guess I'm nuts.

Looks like it was on the air from '72-'84, but my earliest memories are from '85. In '85 I was watching shows like CHiPs and Wonder Woman.

LOL, I was watching those with you, but I was 15!

The Magic Garden was on long enough for both me & Eric to have watched, despite the age difference.  I was born in 1970 & he was born in '78, so it was right in there.  My sister was '77, so that's how she got it too.

I got the DVD set of some of their episodes as one of my sister's baby shower gifts for the nephew, which is how I ended up on the phone with Carole.

The coolest thing is that they were in their 30s when the show aired, and were best friends... and all these years later they're still best friends and still work together.  I just love that.

I love the magic garden, I remember watching it every day, but then again I was born in 1973. The chuckle patch was my favorite.
