It was shown in the Philadelphia television market only.  There was only one season of Starstuff with a total of 18 episodes.  The debut episode was aired on Friday, August 29, 1980 at 7:00pm,[1] with the following episodes shown at 7:30am on Sunday mornings for the rest of the season.[2]  Starstuff was rerun repeatedly until the spring of 1991,[3] usually airing at 6:00am or 6:30am on Saturday mornings. The opening and closing music consisted of a m\u00e9lange of music from Gustav Holst’s The Planets suite, movements four and six, Jupiter and Uranus.[4][5]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Starstuff centered around a boy named Chris (Todd Porter) and a girl named Ingrid (Johanna Hickey), both 12 years old. Chris lived in a house in Philadelphia, PA in present day 1980, and had built himself a computer with a video terminal in his bedroom. Ingrid lives in the year 2010 on Alpha, Earth’s first space colony, and was the first child born there. For her 12th birthday, she was given an Earth Study Center, a computer system designed to educate its user on all things having to do with life on Earth. Chris and Ingrid meet each other after their computer systems manage to establish two-way video transmission, and the rest of the show centers around their secret conversations with each other through their screens.[6] These conversations were broken up by various segments in which they’d watch short films together, such as clips from Laurel and Hardy’s Laughtunes as well as snippets of the educational children’s news show, Kidsworld. Episodes tended to focus on particular topics such as divorce, loneliness, and crushes.There was a sub-show within Starstuff titled The Edge Of Space that was shown about halfway through each episode.  Lasting approximately 10 minutes, it was a space-based puppet segment starring Krikles, Zornad, and their robot assistant, Giz, as they explored the universe in their spaceship searching for life. From puppeteer Mark Ritts: I taped the puppet bits separately, perhaps a half dozen at a time, on a day when the main cast was off learning their lines.   So I don’t remember even meeting them … Krikles’s voice was a simple, light character voice that I have used years, variously adapted, for a string of characters, including Storytime’s “Kino” (PBS).   Zornad’s voice was a bit of a steal from a favorite comic of mine who used to be a regular on the old Steve Allen Show\u2014Dayton Allen, whose signature line was “Whyyyyy not??!”[7]Table of ContentsStarstuff Cast[edit]Starstuff Staff[edit]The Edge Of Space Staff[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Starstuff Cast[edit]Chris: Todd PorterIngrid: Johanna HickeyAunt Val: Margaret HuntUncle Pete: Johnnie HobbsChris’ Mom: Elowyn CastleIngrid’s Dad: Gary SilowStarstuff Staff[edit]Writer: Dorothy LouiseDirector: Don MatticksExecutive Producer: Inez GottliebAssociate Producer: Suzanne HansberryProduction Assistant: Nan GilbertSet Design: John FerlaineSet Construction: Chuck WellsLighting Director: Al VanamanVideotape: Pat LynchField Camera: Phil CarrollTechnical Director: Charles ClevelandCamera: Art Pitcairn, Pete Cain, Jim Manning, Irv Gubin, Joe SidloAudio: David BowaVideo: Bill Wagner, Ted Vawter, Al Strelau, Dan FalzaniFloor Managers: Jess L.
