    Hoppers you saw on TV but video is lost

    What caught your attention when you were young but is now lost?

    Early 1970s, there was a short segment with two British girls who (best I can recall) had imaginary adventures on their space hoppers. It may have been featured on the American PBS kids show ZOOM.

    I never saw either one but Husky410 told of fitness guru-ess Debbie Drake demonstrating the then-new Hoppity Hop on the Carson show. The owner of Sun Co. appeared on WHAT'S MY LINE with a ball. Both presumably would have been 1968 or '69 but I've never found any reference to the Carson segment. Both probably wiped.

    I recall seeing this or another one a lot like it...kids were singing "Ronald's always on the ball" in one I saw.

      I remember a commercial for New York Lottery around 2005 to 2007 with people bouncing on lotto ball hoppers around town. Wish I could find that.
