Paint the whole world with a rainbow. Ingenious amounts of effort went into this! You know how your mind works when you're a child, and how you pick up on the slightest thing? Well, I remember that I got really annoyed whenever I heard the opening theme to Rainbow. The reason? Because the rainbow resembles a frown more than it does a smile. If it was a smile, it would be up-side-down. Pathetic, I know, but it wouldn't be me otherwise. Anyway, Rainbow. A true classic. If you never watched Rainbow as a kid then you either didn't have a TV, or you were never a kid. Not on this planet at least. Here we have a bunch of the strangest going-ons you'll ever see all under one happy roof. The head of the TV family was Geoffrey. Always happy. Always smiling. And who could blame him since he didn't draw the short straw and end up on TV in a bear costume. He looks like he needs a kick! Ingenious! 'Here's one I made earlier!' The person who did draw the short straw however, was the poor old guy who played Bungle. Yes, we all find it entertaining to see some poor guy in a bear costume dance around on TV, and no doubt the bloke in the Bungle outfit was quite excited when he first started his new job, but please, just for one moment, just try and imagine how hot he must have been under those studio lights. Short straw? What straw? The straw was so short that there was no straw. I suggest we bow our heads and give a moments silence as we think about what that guy went though in the name of entertainment. And then we have Zippy and George. Despite the fact that they both permanently lived behind a table, not once did I ever wonder if they had legs. That little enigma didn't enter my mind until I was a lot older. I felt sorry for this fool, he wore shorts on top of the suit??? And as for sexual orientation, Come on george what the hell were you?? A shemale?? No wonder some of us (not me!!) were confused about our sexuality! When Geoffrey wasn't dancing around inside a cardboard box pretending to be a robot, there were the other little bits that kept us entertained in classic Rainbow style. Who could forget the little drawings that were drawn piece by piece while accompanied with sounds of racing cars and pneumatic drills. Whoever thought that one up ought to be given a medal because it certainly left me laughing at the fools! And any Rainbow episode would not be complete without an appearance from the infamous Rod, Jane and Freddy, they were too nice, Yes they deserved a kicking! Oh good god no, they were toooo happy...Hippy drugs I think? Rainbow. Yes! Grab a paint can right now and let's paint the whole world with a rain....Oh forget it!!!! <_<

My major gripe was that I could never fugure out just what Zippy was meant to be. George was a gay hippo, Bungle (obvious really), but Zippy looks like a big worm that's swallowed a rugby ball, what was Zippy, any idea? It was one of those shows that had very dodgy moments in it too. I saw on one of those out-takes shows about when Rod Jane and Freddy had been playing drums in a room somewhere in the Rainbow house. They emerged from said room looking all hot and sweaty, Geffrey commented on this, to which one of the blokes replied: "We've just been banging away in there"
