      From: keREM0VEvin_c75@yahMUNGEoo.com.bogus              I'm trying to recall a short series of science programs from the early       1970s. These may have went straight to syndication, as they aired as       "fillers." These popularized science with skits, song, and satire. One       program had the greats of science, with a Sir Isaac Newton who liked       to drop fruit and vegetable to watch them burst. One song and dance       number had the history of transportation, starting with "We're going       to walk, proceeding to a rocket ride to a another planet- where they       get around by walking. It may or may not have stared Artie Johnson - I       can't it under a list of shows he's appeared in.              One skit in particular had the discovery of the bow and the arrow -       which promptly went off and killed an innocent caveman. This led to a       protest of sign-carrying cavemen singing "Ban the Bow and Arrow" as       they danced around a stuffed woolly mammoth.              Does anyone else remember this show?              - Kevin J.
