This is really going to be a stretch but it's worth a try!
I've been having a great time lately looking on youtube at old Sesame Street and Electric Company sketches, cartoons, and songs. Sometimes I come across one that's unfamiliar, but once I see it I realize I remember it... that's really cool when that happens.
On the opposite end, there are things that have been in my head for 25-30 years that I'm LOOKING for, and it's so exciting when I find them... LY, t-i-o-n, Ladybug's picnic, That's About the Size of It... awesome, awesome stuff.
Anyway, today watching LY I was reminded of another cartoon. But it's only the dimmest of dim memories... more an impression than much physical fact. I'll try to describe it as best as I can, just on the very slim chance that someone recognizes it and can identify it and point me in the direction of finding it!
I don't remember what show it was on, I'm leaning towards Electric Company because it was kind of 'dark'. But it could be from anywhere.
ALL I REMEMBER... I think it was black and white, or at least very dark and monochromatic. I remember a pair of children sliding down a staircase... on the banister? It's dangerous... there's a pool of razor blades at the bottom, or something (I may be mixing that part up with a Weird Al song lol)... but there's a feeling of helplessness and danger anyway. Something dangerous waiting at the bottom. The kids are scared, it's not a 'fun slide'...
That's ALL I have to go on. I can't remember the song. I can't remember if they were on stairs that vanished and turned into a slide. I can't remember any other scenes... if it's a series of dangerous events or just that one, or if there's a plot to it.
I just remember REALLY loving it, being really affected by it, frightened by it, etc etc.
Ring any bells for anyone?
