Hammy Hamster - Once Upon a Hamster - Episode 7

[@negativezebra9977]

This is one of my earliest memories. I have searched for almost 25 years for it. The very first time I stayed up all night watching TV - the channel was set to Animal Planet in the late 90s and this came on. I remembered a show about talking hamsters and guinea pigs. I don't know why, but the image has stayed in my mind so vividly since I never saw that show again. I can't believe I finally found it - a part of me feels complete.

[@Naturaall]

Just got here and SAME!!!

[@AHH_monsturr]

Yes exactly the same story as yours! I'm also trying to find the old cartoon network shows too lol I'd stay up all night watching tv when I slept over at my grandma's house and I remember all these shows, just not they're names!!

[@shelbyhurd]

My story is exactly the same. Oh my gosh. This show is magical!! Everyone having the same experience. It’s beautiful. 🥹

[@bobosch]

Same here! My inner child's finally gotten what he's missed all these long years.

[@DWor-]

Yeah, up late flipping channels. I ended up taping a ton on VHS that doesn't work now, the machine. But it was good because I had a blue rat back then so this came on for an hour and reminded me to let him out and clean his cage. I suspect he enjoyed the show too. ^_^

[@echosixtyfour]

wow that opening pulled me back immediately, what a nostalgia overload

[@allysonhill4195]

I named my very first guinea pig GP from this show! I still love it to this day!!

[@katiecondratto7978]

That's so funny!! One of my guinea pigs is named GP too! Glad I'm not the only one who named one of their guineas after a character in this show!!

[@allysonhill4195]

@@katiecondratto7978 totally right? I thought I was the only one too! My GP died years ago to pneumonia and I still miss him :( he was also an Abyssinian, just like the famous tv show GP :) My GP wa my very FIRST guinea pig and now I have a HUGE soft spot for piggies

bloody hell, how old is your G.P. ?

[@Someguy200023]

Standing in the kitchen cooking lunch. All of a sudden have a random thought "Wasn't there this show like way back in the 90's with a talking hamster and other critters?"

[@mollynicole4614]

how old are you? Let me guess... were you born in 1990?

[@Eliminator5555]

Hammy is just gorgeous. May he rest in peace.

[@maiksonstrife]

I didn't know he died 😭

[@fraiser3330]

😂👍🏼

[@AHH_monsturr]

​@@maiksonstrife lolol love your comment. Hamsters have a life span of wat maybe up to 5 years usually around 3 if cared for properly. This show was in the 90s. He's def dead by now 😢 😂😂😂😂

[@bobosch]

Thank you so much for it. It was so devastating to know that they'd stopped broadcasting Hammy Hamster when I was 6 or 7. I missed it so much that I dreamt about having fun with Hammy and I cried when I woke up to not being able to watch my favorite friends' adventures. I've had the Internet for 15 years now, but I never tried to look for it. I thought it was just a stupid kid's thing... But I'm so happy I've found it. P.S. It's so weird to be able to watch it in English now, feels like I knew English when I was a kid (which I didn't). But it feels so natural. It's so satisfyingly strange:)

[@shewolf461cw6]

Thank you so much for having these visitors. Like other people I have been looking for then for awhile. Something I enjoyed so much I can now share with my Grandkids.💕🐺

[@courtenaymckinnon5435]

This show made me get my first hamster 🐹 I remember being glued to this show.

[@LebanonJames420]

I’ll always get goosebumps for that intro, this was a young LeBanon Jameses favourite show, and Reboot

[@alexandarjelenic2880]

Fun fact. GP express officially began operations on April 17, 1973, with 389 team members. That night, 14 small aircraft took off from Memphis and delivered 186 packages to 25 U.S. cities from Rochester, New York, to Miami, Florida. GP express is also known as FedEx

[@AHH_monsturr]

Love how Martha mouse in this vid is a fancy rat, and not a mouse at all lol

[@Hello_Gorgeous]

I grew up with this and reading rainbow ❤ the animals and the props were always so cute!

[@mrtecnhimuyo]

I saw this when I had to wake up early for school. I was like 8 or 9

[@kathywright6853]

My husband discovered this show while working out if town,he told me about it and I loved it,I taped them on vhs but the tapes don't play so well on other players,I am so glad some one put this on for us to see again,thanks❤️

[@princeofpop8]

[@x7cousinsyt845]

[@cadavher]

Yep. Every morning on YTV before school.

[@robnewman6101]

How Lovely.

[@cadavher]

Ahhh. Simpler times. Too bad theres no wholesome real life kids shows like these, these days. Its all animated. Theres something special about these old shows, bill nye, science for kids, big comfy couch etc.

[@virturii2571]

this just popped up inside my head. I was very young when I watched this. Used to love it.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Now a days with electric cars that go 70mp Hammy would be scared shittless lol

[@canaldemeditacaodeepsleep7497]

Awww I love this episode specially those really cute bunnies

[@geniusso9972]

My father named my hamster Hammy. I never asked him why until this day... and imagine my surprise to see some guy talking over an hamsters.

Love that turtle song🤣

[@nerryluc4285]

my childhood memory

[@jinnyproctor4656]

Loved this...

[@lonleystranger]

As a Russian I only now noticed the difference. And a lot of them the most biggest is that we never in fact saw the face of the narrator. I don't really understand the reason behind that like just show me that grampa what's wrong with that? Also the dub is really different of course. I'm more used for Russian dub because of nostalgic vibes, but it's really nice to look at the original as well.

[@opeliamandia2717]

So very hammy cute little guy

[@danipereldeepam3054]

The scene at 7:23 is inspired by the clockwork orange

[@simonburns1055]

Hammy is just an opportunist
