I hadn't read those, but I have had similar situations with the internet where I've remembered only snippets of something I'd read or saw on TV many years ago and just googling those snippets revealed what they were. Examples are an old cartoon called Cool McCool that I watched when I was perhaps 3. I had only remembered that he was a secret agent, that one of his enemies was this evil jack in the box, and that his father (who had his own segment on the show) was a cop. Another example turned out to be the animated version of Oscar Wilde's "The Selfish Giant". I remembered most of the plot from that but nothing more.

I am *still* trying to find a TV show that was very Rankin/Bass in the animation and had sort of an Adam and Eve theme in at least the one scene I remember. The scene had two kids in it with one daring the other to eat this flower. The other finally gives in and upon doing so, the whole landscape changes to something dark and dreary.
