What was I watching?

A few years back; I remembered watching as a child this television show with a spaceship/roller coaster, a giant unblinking clown, and a hyper active pun spewing monkey.  I asked my friends about it, and was a little upset when no one remembered it.  Thanks to the shared memories of my brother (I knew growing up with a little brother would pay off someday) and the wonder of the wide wide world of web I was able to put my mind at ease to find out the show did indeed exist.



The interwebs was able to confirm that I did indeed witness the greatness of "the Coaster" as a small child.  Today, however, the www of web has proven that I hold a false childhood memory as well.  I vividly remember watching the Jim Henson Hour with my family in the Fall of 1990, however the Jim Henson Hour did not air then.  So what was I watching?

Also, while we are on the topic of childhood memories:  As a child of the 80s I was naturally also a teen of the 1990s.  Thank to this article I now understand why I had such an unrealistic expectation of high school.
