Bits and Bytes, 1983

[David Jimerson]

Don't know how much play this got in the US -- it might have been on PBS -- but I used to watch this on a TV station out of Windsor, ON.

I still weirdly knew the words to the (horribly cheesy) theme song.

(Commodore PET represent.)

PEEK and POKE, that takes me back!

 

[Denis Haineault]

There was a French version of this (with the same theme soundtrack)...around 82-83? This was my introduction to computers and to programming...and it was love at first sight.

I'm pretty sure that this show is responsible for my career choice, and likely influenced many others as well.

The editing on this is much slower than any kid would have the patience for now.

Haha I love the "you can't get away from them" line...
