Does anyone remember an old PBS show ,”Getting to know me”?

Question

There is a show I used to LOVE from the late 70’s/ early 80’s about an African American family…that had a father, mother, sister, brother and grandmother named Mama Violet. The brother’s name was Kwame. I KNOW this show was called “Getting to Know Me” … I can still hear the song in my head (well, 1 line of actual words heehee. It goes “Cus I’m getting to know me (da-da-da-dadada) … getting to know me, and I like it. I like it…”Does anyone remember this show or (have any information for it?) I’ve exhausted my Google search and all I found was another post in a forum with the same question. I’ve also tried Wikipedia and IMDb with no luck.

Omg! Yes I remember this show so well. I was just talking to my husband about it! And I too was singing the theme song. ‘Getting to know me, feeling good, feeling proud.. Yes I’m getting to know me, I finally understand and I like it.. I like it” Wow! it brings back so many memories, we used to watch it in our school library, I had such a crush on Kwame..LOL! As far as finding anything out about the show, I haven’t had any luck either. I do know the little girl who played the big sister was on the episode of Martin, when Miles from Moesha was playing Martin’s son. But, I’ve never heard anything else about the rest of the cast.I’m just glad some body else out there remembers good T.V.

When I was in grade school, the class got to watch episodes of this show as a treat. Sometimes there was another class favorite called “Read all About it” about a couple of adventuring kids that solved word related puzzles. I Loved both these shows, and I’d really love to see them again.

I so remember this show!! I’m looking for a video of the theme song at least. I loved this show during Vacation Video (remember how PBS had tv shows during the day for summer break???)

Yes. I remember this show. 1980 if im not mistaken. I called a PBS station a long time ago trying to remember the name of this show but the person who answered the phone didnt know what i was talking about. Tried to find the show on youtube but couldnt. Would love to have every episode of it though.
