My sister just sent me an email starting with the words "Zocko Score 10!"

I can decode this (it means bulls-eye, in effect), but I am no longer quite sure where it comes from, let alone whether it is spelled right. Who can help?

Sh@t! This is important! This may refer to a late 60's/early 70's TV program which EVERYONE I KNOW CLAIMS NEVER EXISTED!! The program was called Zocko or more likely Zokko, and was a Sat. morning kids program based around, IIRC, a pinball machine. There was magic (with Ali Bongo) and cartoons (about a voyage to Mercury).

mark s- this is the kind of thing you KNOW about! If this is indeed this prog I can prove all my friends wrong!

Panic over! It's Zokko. I did a google search (don't ask me why I didn't think of this before), and it was a kids TV prog 1968-1972. I didn't imagine it!

YES!! Pinball machine which announced its own score (as in sistah Becky's email see above). WHAT WERE WE THINKING!!

hmmm...the kroffts (or their addled UK cousins?) strike again...?

― jess, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My thanx to sistah Becky.
