I'm one of the rare few who does remember watching this as a kid, though not with a lot of specificity about particular episodes. I remember it airing on Saturday mornings, around the same time as "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" and "Shari Lewis and Lambchop," and I think I saw it before the film. As cheesy and dreadfully '90s as the show is is, Harry himself is one of the best special effects of all time in my book, and for that alone I'm glad they got more use out of the costume and animatronics rather than it rotting in storage. There were worse things to watch as a kid in the early '90s at least. I was glad to see this video and go down memory lane. As an aside, so many video reviews rely on hyperbole and exaggerated disgust; I really appreciate the evenness of your reviews and that when you want to express frustration with something, you use clips of a better version of that media as a reaction. It's funny without being over-the-top. Keep on doing what you do, Joe!

Great video! I'm from Spain and I remember watching this show quite often for a while. In "La Dos" from our second national TV channel We used to get some TV content in the afternoon for kids, like cartoons. After the cartoons they slowly increase the "adult" content, first with this kind of sitecoms and later more adult oriented sitcoms like "Married... with children". So like you imagine this was one of the first ones to be in that transition. I was a huge fan of Alf (here didn't airing Alf till the 90's!) so this was perfect for me. I never knew it was base in a movie. When I discoverd it was a movie I actually thought it was the movie from TV show and no the way it actually was. I had a soft spot for this TV show.

I step up to the mic and do the best roar a ten year old can do, but they ask me to do it again. I do it again, they say one more time with all your power and blah blah blah. As soon as I'm about to unleash my full might, Harry himself roars from right behind me. As a kid lame enough to actually live that show, it was an awesome experience.

John Lithgow came to speak at my college more than thirty years ago (his father taught at the film department), and spoke of making Harry and the Hendersons as a nightmare production. The first-time director gathered all the cast and crew on the first day and the first words out of his mouth were, "So!" (claps hands together) "How do we want to do this?" He said you could hear a hundred and fifty people simultaneously slump forward and heavy sigh. The guy would spin out these crazy ideas off the top of his head, which were good ideas, but would take hours and hours to set up because there was no preparation. "Meanwhile," Lithgow commented, "We're making this blithe family comedy, and we were all waiting around endlessly for our chance to try to be funny under those circumstances."

I... I... remember watching this show! I was only 4 or 5 during the 1st season, so my memories are _very_ vague, but I definitely remember watching what was probably at least a few episodes. My most vivid memories are, of course, of Harry himself, especially his amazingly lifelike appearance! (I also especially remember the living room set... I always thought that was weird and I never knew why, but your explaining that most of the show was set only in that 1 room likely explains that.) I also watched the movie, I think, although I was probably too young to do so since all I can remember of it is feeling either scared or bored during it... nothing about the actual film, itself. I'm only a recent subscriber, but I've been really enjoying your content!

I didnt remember it until I heard the theme tune. Its was shown in Ireland & UK on Sky tv quite a bit.

Seeing Pat Morita without facial hair has left me deeply scarred.

Damn, he was virtually unrecognizable.

I loved the show as a kid in germany. You make great research and i was suprised you mentioned germany. You does a great job on your videos

I did not expect to see Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a Harry and the Henderson's show. That was...quite surprising!

[@jeffanderson1564]

watched every episode of this show as a kid. Great stuff!

I'm from Australia and I can definitely remember watching this show on local television after school back in the early-mid 1990's.

Funny, I'm swissgerman and I remember the show but didn't even know there was a movie. As a child I always admired the house in the show, a house mostly out of wood surrounded by trees. The german song was very catchy, sometimes that enough to be popular around here. Also the puppeteering art was great in that times, I miss it.

I remember the show's *existence* and vaguely recall the commercials for it, but I do not recall ever having actually watched it. Fun video, thanks Hats Off!

I not only remember the tv show but I remember it fondly. Playing for years on Weekend mornings in Los Angeles. Not only that but Universal Studios had a attraction that featured the tv show and behind the scenes of what goes on in the special effects. I guess it was just bigger here in Southern California. I didn’t have cable growing up so we were limited to the few channels that were over the air.

Forgot all about the universal studio tie in with Harry and The Henderson’s until now

[@herbiehopkins]

I loved the tv show when I was a teen, I only recently found out there was a film version too, I was surprised to discover from your video that the movie came first!

[@vgtrp]

I'm one of those people who does remember watching this show as a kid, but that's as far as my nostalgia goes. I do like when your channel brings his shows and movies I forgot about, but when you bring them up I go " Oh yeah I remember that. "

This show was considered a failure? I used to love it back in the day and still very nostalgic for it now and think it was reasonably popular here in the UK (think it used to air before/after Dinosaurs on BBC). It may just be because I was a dumb kid back then but I really enjoyed it!
