Just hearing this makes me warm all over. I was a child in the seventies. What a carefree time And I loved this program

Strange how the brain works. I haven't seen or even thought about this in 45 yrs and there it is! That song! Triggered so many good memories! Thank you! 🤗

Love this.. so many memories. Such a simpler time. I'm glad that I got to be a kid in the 70's.

This got me all emotional. The theme song makes me happy

This is one of those vague memories that you aren't quite sure is real or false. I'm glad I could confirm that I actually experienced this thanks to KZfaq. Funny how I recalled the lyrics after nearly fifty years.

Being born in '69 meant a 70's childhood was guaranteed, and man, was that ever fun. Shows like this, and dozens of other realities outside the house that can't be recreated anymore.

A tear came to my eye. A better time. PBS. I used to watch this every weekday. I wasn't in school yet. My mom would fix me a pb&j She would be in her room watching Days of our lives.

Today I awakened from a hard nap. This song was in my head... I had to dig deep. Wow I haven’t thought of Simon ever again in my adult life. Im a 70’s kid. Takes me back... not sure where this came from in my brain or why. Pretty cool! I miss the days of childhood and carelessly being a kid, watching cartoons. 😌

I named my boy Simon after this cartoon... in 2022. Only some remember...

R.I.P Bernard Cribbons. I always remember your voice. And the programmes you started in. What a great age 93. He was a good person. Didn’t sell his soul.

This theme song, like a ghost in my mind all these years. I finally looked it up and I can't stop playing it. This song is one of my earliest memories, one of the few fond memories I have from a very sad childhood.

Can’t believe i found this - have had the song pop into my head spontaneously since I was 8....

Wow, that song just unlocked a core memory!

الله … على ذكريات الطفولة ، كانت أيام جميلة لا حروب في العالم ولا أوبئة ولا فساد 😢💔

I I was born in 71' and have had very vague memories of this program for years. Somewhere in between did it exist, or did I make it up? Glimpses of this program and the tune would cross my mind from time to time as an adult. I am glad that I found out that this was a real program. Life as a kid in the 70s was a beautiful thing.

Man time flies…. This is a prime example of dreaming and achieving… Thoughts become things… Like Simon said things you draw come true.

I literally had the memory of this cartoon unlocked today and it hasn’t been unlocked since almost 4 decades ago when I watched it last! Born in ‘79 and would watch this on Pinwheel on Nickelodeon growing up in the 80’s! I am so glad I came across this!

Today I am 45 years old.. Searched for Simon to show my little daughter.. explained what I couldn't understand when I was at her age.. Thank you ❤️

Wow!!!! I remember this show from back in the day lol. I loved watching it. Takes me back. Those were the days 😂

My wife watched this when she was a kid. I never heard of it, but she was humming the tune and we found it here.

Oh how I miss my youth. Things were far more simple.

I can't believe I finally found this! I used to watch this on PBS as a kid (I'm 47). I love that Mike Myers based his character Simon on this for SNL.

That song has been in my head since the 70s !

I was telling my friend about this and picturepages today. Born in 1973

I grew up on this show. A place and time where things were innocent . 70s baby.

I randomly get this song stuck in my head. What if what we draw and think up can come true?? That's manifesting yes??? 🤔 Dream BIG!!

Such an awesome memory and nostalgia! Thanks!

Everyone ought to have a few fond memories like this

Used to absolutely love this as a boy. Watched on TVO in southern Ontario. Also used to air on PBS I'm pretty sure.

Am I the only one that teared up listening/watching this?

This was such a huge part of my life when I was a kid. I was born in 1972. I really loved these. Maybe it's part of why I grew up and married a Brit. :D

My wife watched this when she was a kid. I never knew about it. Now the song is stuckin my head. Cute cartoon.

I absolutely loved this!

Watched this as a kid in the 70s. Great memories!

I grew up with this show 😊 great memories

maybe he’s sulking cuz he’s forced to wear a tie in his own home!

I still LOVE theme song! Even after all these years.

Love the theme song inspirational ❤

At 56 years old I could still sing that opening song.

They use to show this cartoon on Romper Room in the 80’s in the United States.. memories.

I miss this so much!!!!! Where's that time machine lol, I wanna go!!!

Wow! A blast from the past… remember watching this with Captain Kangaroo. So glad to see & hear this bit of my childhood.

the smile on my face right now

This really takes me back to early Nickelodeon circa 1985 .. 🖤

Haven't thought about this in years and the song randomly popped in my head. Such a good lil" song.

Finally I solved the mystery of this song. I watched this show as a young boy and the song has been stuck in my head my whole life, only I confused this Simon with the one from the Chipmunks, so I sang it, “So my name is Simon Theodore, and I love my happy name…” Simon, Alvin and Theodore were the three Chipmunks. Thank you for solving the mystery of a childhood memory. Subscribed!

One of my childhood favorites 😢

The inspiration for Mike Myers’ “Simon” sketches on SNL in the early 90’s

Tears to my eyes and face, my childhood. At age 6,7,8

I’m fairly certain that this aired on PBS in the DC area in the early 80’s. The early memories of this show are almost surreal.

My dad would sing this song radomly when i was a kid hes dead now and i always qanted to see what he was talking about and tgis is strange considering his favorites shows are family guy and south park

Just stumbled onto this....I haven't t seen this in so many years!

i wonder who sang the theme song for this! At 57 years old now i just remembered seeing this on captain Kangaroo back in 1975 when i was 9 years old!

Boy this was a big part of my childhood..

I wasn’t born in the 70s I was born in the 2000s. I’m glad I found this

I was talking to my friend at work and he brought up Simon and I haven't remembered it for at Least 45 years. I had to look it up. So many memories.

My kids thought I was joking ......I grew up on this.....fond memories

Ahhh! Simon.i grew up to the land of chalk drawings as well...seems so long ago and when life seemed simple....Ahhh!..what I wouldn't give to be that kid again,who cut out cardboard wings just to fly off the head board onto the bed lo.

This show is my very first memory of television seen at my grandparents’ house in 83 or 84 in Maryland most likely on PBS

This is why I'm always singing this song!

This was my favorite cartoon

These were the days I still hum the tune to this day! Bernard was a brilliant man ❤❤❤

Didn't grow up in the 70s, but my late mother in law told me about this show and how her mom watched it

How something so simple lasting five minutes has turned me into an immotional wreck. I was 4 when this was on.

مازال الحن عالق في ذاكرتي وادندن به بين الحين والآخر ,ذكريات طفولة القناة السعودية الثانية . شكرا لكم .

I love this video especially the theme song and Simon

ياااه على الايام،،، ،،كنت بشاهد الكارتون ده في 1980-1981

Thank you from saudi Arabia for this Memory

I remember watching this on the Noelle and Andy show in Denver Colorado back in the 70's.

Thx 4 bringing me back 2 better dayz , i was 7 . Thx bruh.😉

Public school in Columbus, Ohio in the late 60's. Loved Simon.

R.I.P. Mr Cribbins.

I was born in 78. But i saw reruns on PBS in the 80's. Our PBS in north Florida showed a lot of old 70's cartoons and British shows on Sunday (when other shows didn't show cartoons). Or sometimes in the afternoon on Saturday, once all the other Saturday Morning Cartoons lineups on various networks were over. Which was smart!

This was always my favorite part of the show as a kid

Good memories!!

😢 يالله .. اللحن اللي مافارق بالي ابد

This song…I’m 4 years old again…

I was born in 81 and somehow remember this

Old is Gold

Bernard Cribbins also played Mr Hutchinson in Fawlty Towers!

Thank you.

Bloody good tune

I remember this show

Watched this in the 80's in Iran

I loved when Mike Myers used to spoof this on SNL

Was also very popular in Croatia (Ex Yugoslavia) too.

Both "South Park" and "Spongebob Squarepants" had classic episodes with this same plot: an angry clone of the main character coming to life and wreaking havoc. The creators of those shows are mostly Gen X. So, was this the origin? (I faintly remember this cartoon from the 70's. Captain Kangaroo? I do remember the theme song, but that memory was helped by Mike Myers' parody of it for a number of early 90's SNL skits.)

Why can't I find the music used in the cartoon? all of it, I don't think a soundtrack was ever released.

I was listening to Wendy Carlos Switched on Bach and it just made me remember a cartoon song named simon from my childhood...found it..not too many things I've forgotten ..but this was one

2021 brings back memories

Takes me back

I like this cartoon more, but when I was young, it looked a lot and it was very old

So thats where Chalkzone on Nickelodeon got its idea.

This, Rocket Robin Hood, Sinbad the Sailor, Mr Dressup, Captain Kangaroo, and Spider Man... Happy memories of a simpler time. Bill Waterson's Calvin & Hobbs and Simon from this show are both great works.

R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins.

RIP Bernard Cribbins!

I haven’t watch that in almost 40 yrs....

Simon's got the chalk!

RIP Wilf 😢

FLASHBACK !!!
