You know, I always liked Jim.  Ernest Goes To Camp was one of those guilty pleasures of mine as a young'un, and I remember religiously watching Hey Vern, It's Ernest! on Saturday mornings; good times for sure.  Even as silly, or bad, as some of his stuff may have been, it was still good for a laugh.

Thanks for that bit of nostalgia Dionysusigma...

Hey Vern, It's Ernest!
There was a short-lived Saturday morning show that had as a character a robot who's head was a metal bucket with a big smiley face sticker on the front.  Is that the show, or was it that Ed Grimley show?

No, I was not using drugs at the time, it really happened.

You mean Willie the Homemade Robot?

I couldn't find a picture or video clip of it, but I believe that's what you're thinking of.

Check out this clip from Hey Vern, It's Ernest![/u]: I Didn't Know It Was Loaded.  

Don't imagine you'd see anything like that on Saturday morning these days...
