DAE remember this widely popular television show and book series from the youth of 80% of redditors? OMG YOU MUST BE AWESOME!

hagcel · 6 months

Remember? It's currently one of my sons favorite books... It's been very interesting reading them again as an adult, and realizing how many little secrets and sub plots there are.

Pc game was hilarious!

Although I do enjoy the reference, I feel as though our standards for people being awesome are slipping quite dramatically. If remembering a show from your childhood is grounds for being awesome, then everyone with a TV is the coolest fucking person alive.

I had a video game for the sega genesis that let you run around and do all kinds of stuff in Busy Town...I used to spend hours making various food items an lemonades.. Towns people got bitchy if they weren't fed right.

You're never too old for cartoons. Unless you're rreeaaalllyyy creepy about it.

My dad fucking LOATHED that worm, which was hilarious because I loved it. We'd constantly battle over Lowly, to the point where he once sneakily cut him out of one of the pages, beginning a years-long war for control over the worm.

In retrospect, Busytown would be a fucking TERRIFYING place to live. People are constantly having near-death experiences, things get wrecked everywhere, the rabbits can't stop having babies, there's a baboon drunk-driving a banana all over... it's just a list of horror-inducing events every minute of every day.

Killhouse · 6 months

How come Richard Scarry makes children's stories and H.P. Lovecraft makes horror stories?

cucco · 6 months

This makes me so happy...when I was little every year around December I would come down with the worst stomach flu- so bad I thought I was dying, curled up in a ball and moaning all day. Anyways, I'd obviously get to stay home from school and the only thing that helped take my mind off my stomach flu was this tv show. I just got a huge wave of nostalgia, thank you!

If you remember this, you are one of millions (most decidedly non-awesome) who've seen this particular very popular item. If you posted this nostalgia crap to r/pics, you're a karmawhoring bastard

well_hello_there · 6 months

Why does being of a particular generation make you awesome? A whole lot of people remember Richard Scarry books, and I'd hate to think that each and every one of them, based on that alone, is awesome. We need better criteria.

Seriously, this is on Netflix. I do like the books better though.

I think my parents still have the book in the house. I remember re-reading this over and over.

ijustlookatpics · 6 months

When my niece was about 4 or 5 she woke my sister up in the middle of the night crying and screaming because there was a snake in her room. My sister and her husband tore the room apart and couldn't find anything so they finally closed the door and stuffed a towel under so that if they missed it they could deal with it in the morning. The next morning they look again and dont find anything. Finally they ask my niece what the snake looked like and she said, without skipping a beat, "he was wearing a bow tie and a hat."

TL,DR: Niece was reading this book before bed, woke up crying that there was a snake in her room. The next day my sister found out that the snake was wearing a bow tie and a hat.

What's more amazing than this obvious karma whoring is that 2000 people have upvoted it

It was my favorite when I was like 4, called it 'the crazy car book' (roughly translated), because that's what it was: full of crazy cars. Yup.

My 6 year old daughter loves Busy Town. I was able to 'aquire' a bunch of episodes and she's watched them all. Santa brought her the 'Eye See It' Busy Town board game for Christmas but it was a casualty due to flooding of our house last Monday (15" of rain fell in only a few hours). It's on the we-need-to-buy-a-replacement list along with a ton of other things...

Bizzatch · 6 months

Oh man I loved those books as a child. One day if/when I have a child of my own I will buy them these books.

I just bought my son the same exact Richard Scarry book that I had when I was a kid.

comadorcrack · 6 months

I'm not entirely sure that memory should be a qualifier for a person to be considered "Awesome". I'm sure that there are several people reading this with deep psychopathic tenancies, who did indeed remember this, and now feel validated by your nostalgic affirmation and will probably go out and rape some children... all because of you! You fucking enabler!!

However I do remember this so Upvote!

professorhawk · 6 months

Holy Balls. I was just reminded of this earlier this week. My prof was on pain meds and literally spent most of the class drawing richard scarry and plankton from spongebob. She was having trouble distinguishing the two in her mind and just drew a bunch of different variations of them to help set her mind straight. Obviously nothing else in her mind was straight on that day either.

This just made my day. Thanks.

zeththedarkmage · 6 months

True Story: When I was a kid and I was flipping channels I saw the word Scarry I mistook it for scary thinking it was some sort of goosebumps show. It was not, instead was an enjoyable cartoon that I proceeded to watch every time it was on.

AMcNair · 6 months

Richard Scarry's biography is interesting. He revolutionized a lot of the children's book industry. Amazon Link

Busy Town was the shit growing up.

No, if you were a born in the mid-late 80's and went to school in the 90s, you probably remember this. Hardly qualification for being awesome.
