Ooops! was a children's TV show made by SMG Productions (now known as STV Productions) for the ITV network children's strand CITV. The show was re-broadcast on STV in 2009 as part of their new children's strand wknd@stv. On the show children talked about funny and embarrassing stories about them, their friends and life in general.
Ooops! is a Canadian children's game show television series which aired on CBC Television from 1970 to 1971.
Harry Brown, known on the series as the "Great Drake", hosted this game show from various Canadian cities, often with the assistance of local presenters. The set contained a large game board on which contestants moved forward or backward based on the audience response to a given riddle or joke. Game winners chose their prize from six mystery bags, most of which were prizes such as radios, recordings or books, but one bag contained a duck as a booby prize. Children participated in the game by mailing in riddles and jokes to be used for the game segment, and they could also purchase a home version from the CBC.
The series included a parody news and weather segment hosted by John O'Leary entitled "Ooops! Nooos" and "Ooops! Weather For Ducks".
This half-hour series was broadcast on Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) from 29 September 1970 to 29 June 1971.
Don't want to go outside today
Inside i think I'm gonna stay
My tortured mind it chokes me down
In here I'm free to bleed and drown
Just one more private hell
Stuck in this mental shell
I haven't slept for seven days
I watch my face just melt away
I hear them coming after me
Perpetual demonology...
Brain in flames I'm sinking down
Stabbing voices all around
Sleep is something i can't do
Stay awake, nightmares come true
Just one more private hell
Stuck in this mental shell
I haven't slept for seven days
I watch my face just melt away
I hear them coming after me
Perpetual demonology...
Eyes are circles skeletonized
Read Maldoror twenty five times
Drank window cleaner and insect spray
This hell is mine for one last day
Just one more private hell
Stuck in this mental shell
I haven't slept for seven days
I watch my face just melt away
I hear them coming after me
