About Test Pattern Guy
Expertise
I`m a pop culture freak who loves TV, old and new... ask me about classic TV, new TV, commercials, jingles, cartoons, Saturday morning shows, you name it. If I don`t know it, I can find it out... Believe it or not, I even know some of the infomercials by heart.. "Set it and forget it!"

Experience
Lots of time reading the TV Guide, and way too many nights of insomnia...

Television Trivia - Early 80's family sci-fi show


Expert: Test Pattern Guy - 8/11/2006

Question
Test Pattern Guy:

Hello. I'm hoping you can help me with this question, which NO ONE I've asked knows anything about. But I *know* this show isn't a figment of my imagination because my brother and two cousins all vaguely remember it, too:

It was either a very short-lived show, or made-for-tv movie that aired in the early 80's (I would guess around '82 or '83)... and all I can remember is that it had to do with a family from outer space who had a blue monkey. And they could all turn invisible by holding their breath and thinking of nothing. I'm not making this up. I seem to remember one scene that had them on an empty football field.

Does any of this sound at all familiar?

Thanks for your help!
Jim

Answer
Hi, Jim...

I was looking for another 80's sci-fi film and came across a movie called Earthbound. It was made in 198 and starred Burl Ives, Christopher Connelly, and Meredith MacRae. It was about a family of aliens that crash-landed in a small town, and had to stay there... and they had a GREEN chimpanzee... could this be what you were looking for??

Hope so...

TPG
