The Elephant In The Room Isn't So Bad
14 November 2013
What-ever happened to just simple, fun witty educational children shows? Has TV changed so much that we are forgetting some of the best classic children's shows of all time? Sharon, Lois and Bram's, The Elephant Show, was an all time family favourite with fun catchy songs that one simply carries with them and does not forget. Remember the elephant song, "One elephant went out to play upon a spiders web one day..." and let's not forget "Skidamarink" - "Skidamarink a-dink, a-dink, Skidamarink a-doo, I love you."

The Elephant Show aired originally on CBC from 1984 to 1988. Sharon, Lois and Bram make singing and learning an experience to be enjoyed and remembered in this series. Each episode starts with an elephant walking along a spider web and calls for another elephant to come and then everyone to come and then Sharon, Lois and Bram pop on screen. Each episode features a mini concert with Sharon, Lois and Bram as well as the Mammoth Band and themes depicted in the Elephant Show address everyday issues children face such as clearing up arguments. The Elephant Show, I know I would have been missing out without seeing it. These are the kinds of shows that should be family treasures, passed down from generation to generation.
