More bad TV
Mar. 8th, 2008 09:48 amFollowing links from a discussion on Usenet, and apropos to the discussions here this week (and well worth a read)...
The Six Freakiest Children’s TV Rock Bands.
It's pretty sad they had to reach into the 80's for the sixth, surely there must have been another truly freaky one in the same (early 70's) timeframe as the others? I seem to recall that such 'Prefab' bands were pretty popular among Saturday morning fare back then.
Ah, the poor kids of today with their entertainment available 24/7 on cable. They'll never know the joy of waking up on Saturday mornings and knowing that today is cartoon day! OTOH, they'll never know the annoyance of being yanked from their one day to do chores, or because Mom and Dad had plans for the day, etc...
Growing up in a big family was fun on Saturday morning though - it was ever an argument over who got to pick the cartoons. My mom, ever practical, solved this be creating a chore list we rotated through on a weekly basis and whoever was on dishwashing duty that week picked the cartoons on Saturday morning.
I almost typed 'controlled the remote', but remotes were pretty unusual back in the early 70's and we never actually owned a TV with one while I was growing up. I don't think I/we (that is Brenda and I actually owned one until the mid-late 90's.
