    DHB got it right - Pixie and Dixie (and Mr. Jinks, as dmc said).

    I think that Pixie and Dixie was the name of the skit, but the overall show (as introduced on the hour or half hour, whenever it started, was actually Huckleberry Hound (just like Foghorn Leghorn or the Roadrunner was the skit, but the show was Bugs Bunny).

    That being said, whatever. Take it away DHB.

    I know what you're saying, dmc - I was looking for the name of the specific cartoon (or 'skit'), rather than the overall show. Just like I would expect the right answer to "Wiley E. Coyote" to be the Road Runner, not Bugs Bunny.

    But hey, it's Friday, I'm in a good mood, and it's only a game. So dmc or DHB - whoever posts first can take it. :D

    This TV character was a New Orleans insurance company investigator. While on a case he had the double misfortune of having his wife killed and his eyesight destroyed by people determined that he not solve the case. Despite his injury, he refused to quit the business and with the help of his canine guide dog Pax to help him get around he felt confident of his abilities to solve cases. His girl Nikki was his biggest booster and his friend Duke Paige worked with him on many cases. Bruce Lee appeared throughout the series as his self-defense instructor.

    The seeing eye dog was a white german shepherd if I'm remembering correctly (gorgeous dog). Those scenes where ********** would go into a trance and "see" what happened always had me hooked when I was a kid.

    O.K. DHB but everyone will curse you for letting me post this one.

    This children's show's theme song was "I've got a head like a ping pong ball" sung (repeatedly) to the tune of the William Tell Overture. :shake:

    GAH! I have no idea what the show is, but I can imagine how the song goes. And goes. And goes. And...

    Damn you, JSBB! :grr:

    You should be thankful that you never saw it Splunge. The damned show was on right before a show that I watched so invariably I would turn the t.v. on and get to hear the lovely song being sung at the end of each show. For the life of me I can't remember the show that I was actually tuning in to watch but I don't think I will ever be able to forget

    "I've got a head like a ping pong ball,
    I ve got a head like a ping pong ball,
    I've got a head like a ping ball,
    a head like a ping pong ball.
    A ping pong ping pong ping ping ping pong ping pong ping pong ping pong ball." etc. etc.

    I mean, who on Earth would write a song like that as the theme for a children's show? Is it supposed to convey the message that the show's cast are stupid? In what manner were the singers' heads supposed to be similar to a ping pong ball anyway? Just another case when all you can do is stare at it like a train wrech and just :shake: !
