I never saw it myself but I think what you are searching for is titled [b]Once Upon a Time[/b]. [b]From:[/b] [url]http://www.alboe.org/ouat.html[/url] [i]When I was a kid I used to watch this show on South Dakota Public TV (SDPTV) called "Once Upon A Time". It was produced by NPTV (Nebraska Public Television). Actually the Nebraska Department of Education had a hand in it, and it was produced at the University of Nebraska in Omaha. The story revolved around this librarian named Marian that had been kidnapped by a witch named Kerfumbly. Kerfumbly demanded a story every day, and Marian would put ingredients into a machine and out would come a book with a story containing elements of all the things she had fed into the machine, and Marian would read the story to us (and the witch). One bit of trivia...the opening sequence was shot at the Joslyn Castle in Omaha! I'm mostly putting this page up here to see if I get any hits off of search engines, because I would expect other people are interested in this lost relic as well. If anyone has any old episodes of other kids shows from this era on videotape or DVD, I'd love to see them again, so please contact me and let me know your memories of this show or any others you remember. Here are the lyrics to the theme song. This is from memory, so it should give you an idea of how much I used to watch this show. Once upon a time a witch loved stories galore And greedy as she was she wanted more and more The witch saw that the librarian had stories of all kinds She said, "I'll capture you...all your stories will be mine!" Then took place a curious chase through meadow, tree, and flower Until at last they ended up right at the witch's tower Now poor Marian the Librarian A prisoner she'll stay Until the witch is happy And lets Marian go away A lot of people have asked me if I know the show that aired later in which the characters were in space. I myself am not familiar with the show, but it was called "Starlore". I've never seen it myself, but lots of people seem to remember it, because I get asked about it quite a bit![/i]
