When they re-run Firefly the marmots will be happy.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I may be suffering ass-crack flashbacks but I believe The Goodies made mention of a book called "Gay Boys in Bondage".
Were The Goodies pre- or para- or post-Python? I know they all pretty much came out of the same British humor gene pool (Oxbridge/Frost Report).
That should have been "humour", shouldn't it?

They had a massive overlap. Monty Python first aired in October 1969 (and ran until Dec. '74); The Goodies just over a year later, in November 1970 (and ran until Feb. '82). And yes, it should have been 'humour', since that's the correct spelling. t /snobby British

Wow, I didn't know the Goodies had that long a run. PBS used to show them over here, but the last time I remember seeing them was in the late 70s.
*Sigh* I miss the British comedy PBS used to show - Reginald Perin (sp?), The Two Ronnies, Yes, Minister. Must look for DVDs. eyes budget warily

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Frank ... I believe the seasons of The Goodies were a bit like Red Dwarf. They didn't make episodes during every one of those years; there were gaps between some seasons. Moreover, as with most UK shows, they only make a handful of episodes per season.

No, I get that after going to the link. Still, there were fewer gaps, and more eps per year, than I was expecting. I thought they had only been around for a year or two back in the day.

No, they were quite a long-running thing. I was a little surprised, actually, to find that they ran into the 80's, as I'd pegged them as basically seventies. Anyway, they are at last starting to get the recognition video/DVD releases they deserve.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh God, I think I nearly passed out from laughing at the dog breeding episode where Graeme cross-bred Rover the Long-haired Pug and a white feather duster. The sight of all those little tribble-like puppies latching on to Bill's backside in anger was absolutely hilarious.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I have vague memories of falling off the couch laughing at "Mr. Bunny" on The Goodies, back when I was in junior high. Channel 11 (PBS) here in Chicago had a good late-night Sunday programming block, with Monty Python alternating with The Goodies at 10:00, Fawlty Towers/Two Ronnies/Dave Allen at Large at 10:30, then Doctor Who from 11:00 to 12:30. Until I graduated from junior high, I was sent to bed at 11:00, but once I was old enough, I became a Doctor Who fan.
