About 11pm On Fridays across the nation, cheesey horror flicks ran with occasionally excellent Hammer films from England.


USA Up All Night. Late 80's. Good shit. Apparently an effective babysitter, with pizza and a 2 liter of pop on a Friday. Always said I was gonna stay up all night only to be asleep by 11.

Yeah Chaneel 13 KERA in Dallas

The Dallas PBS affiliate KERA Channel 13 was the first TV station in America to air Monty Python's Flying Circus shortly after the BBC comedy series written by and starring Idle, Cleese, Gilliam, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Graham Chapman ended its four-season run in Great Britain.

This is the more classic version of what you describe, based on a tune from Burt Bacharach.





The nostalgia and melancholy that American culture from several decades ago evokes is even stronger when set against today's cold, decadent, mean-spirited TV shows, movies, music and entertainment in general.

The life and times of Grisly Adams. The grand kids love these too. Gentle Ben. Flipper. The Wilderness Family.

We used to get Monty Python on CBC. I remember PBS ran the original BBC Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, which was great. In Canada we got a lot of stuff from the BBC because Canadian attempts at TV back then were usually pretty lame with a few exceptions like the earliest SCTV, low budget as F and hysterically funny, with John Candy, Harold Ramis, Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara and Joe Flaherty. In the early 80s the show got picked up by an American network, it was still good, but it lost the low budget charm that made it even funnier. SNL was good for the first couple of seasons, then it sucked, then Eddie Murphy saved the show after the original cast left, and starting in the 90s the show really started sucking and I stopped watching. I always thought SCTV was funnier.

FUCK TRANSFORMERS

This is an odd choice for most people, an outlier since it wasn't that entertaining, light-hearted or enjoyable. But at least this one episode somehow struck a tone and caught a moment when the media weren't as corrupt and unethical as they've become today. Plus, you can see quaint old-time things like early computers and rotary-dial telephones.

The show's main actor in real life certainly was known to be a hard-core liberal, and newspapers and TV news even in the late 1970s were biased to the left. But they still hadn't yet reached the flaming CNN/Pravda/Worker's-Daily leftism that's now common throughout the American media.

Yeah,,,,me TOO!
