Talk:La Linea (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its a pity that this Italian cartoon series doesnt have a page in Italian itself. I guess a lot of first hand info could be had from a person who has seen the cartoons and has known this series in its original cultural context.
- now there is...
Many American children were introduced to "La Linea" in the early to mid-1980s when clips of the cartoons were shown, seemingly uncredited, on the television program "The Great Space Coaster." Roy (Ray Stevens) would often take out a small, hand-held device and show the clips to Goriddle Gorilla. Interesting to note that Goriddle was played by Kevin Clash, who went on to much greater success as the puppeteer for Elmo on Sesame Street...and that the voice of the main character in the La Linea shorts arguably sounds like Elmo speaking in Italian. I'd add at least the first part of this to the La Linea entry here, but I don't know Wikipedia protocol and I know how, eh, particular you Wikipedi-ists can be. =)

There's an strangle erotic episode called Eros Linea. Didn't see that on Great Space Coaster. Mark Forest 23:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
