This Ain't My Father's Magic Roundabout...
I dunno. The Magic Roundabout with American accents? Ermintrude saying "all up in here"?
Okay, so it was French first, so maybe, fair enough.
But still, they can't be messin' with my memories like that!
What? Yes, I remember TransFormers better than The Magic Roundabout. So what?

It's funny, I have a memory of shows from my childhood that have become a conglomerate, difficult for me to prise apart: the Magic Roundabout, Jamie and the Magic Torch, and whatever the others were that have lost their individual character and become part of that flummery.
My kids have a "Postman Pat" CD with themes from all sorts of children's shows: first time I played it, I was overcome by nostalgia, the music triggering visceral memories, like Proust's madeleines... I had great trouble remembering what shows they came from, just that I loved them.
