"The Sing a Long Family"

[dth1971]

Do you remember on the Underdog show the 3 "Sing a Long Family" song segments?:
"Nothin' Like a Picnic"
"Skating's Fun to Do"
"Come to the Fair"

I recall seeing only one (Skating's Fun to Do) on a consistent basis in the 80s. Not so much now, of course.

[Silverstar]

Hmm. "Skating's Fun to Do" was the one segment I didn't see. I saw "Nothin' Like a Picnic" a couple of times and "Come to the Fair" once.

[Steve Carras]

I saw all of them more times than I can count!

[BartWinkle]

I only recall the skating and picnic ones.

I remember those segments. Especially 'Come To The Fair'. I sometimes wondered if they were produced by Total Television, or if they were produced by a different studio.

[Steve Carras]

They were by TTV, but didn't look it..

You can view "When The Fair Comes To Your Town" on YouTube --

I haven't been able to find any other viewable 'Sing-A-Long Family' segments online and I don't think any of them are in any of the Underdog DVDs (unless I watched the ones without them).

Fortunately, you can purchase all via ToonTracker:

"Nothin' Like a Picnic" is available on this ToonTracker DVD --

"Under a Sky of Blue/Skating's Such Fun To Do" (Skating)" and "When The Fair Comes To Your Town" are available on this ToonTracker DVD --
http://www.toontracker.net/video/dvd126.htm

Unfortunately, a little too pricey - $20 each - but better than nothing.

Maybe they're available on an OOP DVD or will be on a future 'Total TeleVision Productions' collection.

They were included in the first three Underdog episodes (and repeated in later ones) --

Another of the three 'Sing-A-Long Family' cartoons has been posted to YouTube:

Sing-A-Long Family - "Skating's Such Fun To Do" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afyLafwK1YM)

The person posting the segment says they also have "Nothing Like a Picnic To Make Your Troubles Go". Hopefully they'll be able to post that segment too.
