THANK YOU PAT ROBERTSON FOR SOURING A JEWISH KID’S FOND MEMORY OF WATCHING THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF THE 700 CLUB BEFORE THE MAGIC GARDEN.

by One Hungry Jew (NWM Staff Writer)

Seriously %$#% peeved by Pat’s whole “People of Haiti made a pact with the Prince of Darkness” quote. I mean can you honestly look at all of that suffering and loss of life and come up with a gem of a thought like that? Truly HORRIBLE!

Not to mention the fact that I actually HAD a somewhat fond memory of Pat’s show – the 700 Club. Back in the day I used to watch the last 10 minutes of the 7C ‘cause it was right before the best kid’s regional program of all time – THE MAGIC GARDEN. Paula. Carol. Sherlock the Squirrel. The Chucklepatch. The Story Box. There wasn’t anything better on in the tri-state area. ‘cept maybe TV PIX. Pix…Pix…Pix…Pix…Pix…


SO WHY DID A YOUNG JEWISH KID WATCH THE 700 CLUB?
3 reasons come to mind:

  1. No TV remotes back then, you chose a channel you stuck with that decision.
  2. People were smiling and singing (just like on The Magic Garden).
  3. To a kid, 700 is a big, cool number. 

FYI…The Magic Garden DVD is avaible for 27.49 @ Amazon.


BTW…had a major crush on Carol and Flapper the bird!!!!

  1. "The Magic Garden" and Pat Robertson must NEVER again be mentioned in the same sentence!

    PIX, PIX, PIx, Pix, pix!

  2. That's funny, because I used to call my 'magic garden' my 'chucklepatch'....

    I never got the opportunity to see this show.... I was more of a 'Sharon, Lois and Bram's Elephant Show' kind of guy....

    Oh, but did you ever watch a show called 'Today's Special'.... It was about a mannequin that cam to life after the store closed.... I loved that show!
