The featurette was based upon the writings of Edward MacLachlan . It was produced in the early 1970s by FilmFair Productions in London for Thames Television , and was originally a 5 minute program airing around tea time in England . The featurette also became familiar to American audiences in the mid 1970s when it was featured on Captain Kangaroo , later on Pinwheel , and after that, on Romper Room . The featurette may have been the inspiration for the Nickelodeon Animated Series '' ChalkZone '', which features a similar plot. It was slightly parodied by Mike Myers on '' Saturday Night Live ''. A brand-new version, currently airing on Teletoon , features a new theme song, an updated outfit for Simon, blue and white colors in Simon's home world, and replaces his friend Henry with a new friend, a girl named Lily. In this new version, Simon wears a striped T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, instead of a tie.
