[hyp]

it was pretty creepy, but i was hooked on this shit like crack.  ahhh the wonders of PBS and after school specials in the 80s.  jodie was the first black woman i ever fell in love with (other than latoya jackson).  and  at the toy store setting.   i wonder if this shit is on dvd yet.

Dammit...now I want to find old episodes of "you can't do that on television"

Seeing how Alanis used to be on that show, I'm sure it's all over YouTube.

Today's Special was Canadian, assclowns.  You've all been indoctrinated.

One of those offbeat, creepy kid's shows. The mannequin guy was FLAMING and creepier than Mr. Rogers to boot.


I used to watch a lot of shit when I was little. This show, Dusty's Treehouse, Pinwheel, Great Space Coaster. Really all garbage .. very little educational value when I think about it.


The one positive thing I remember from the 80's on Nickelodeon, was "The Tomorrow People". A great little sci-fi serial show. Special effects were awful, but the story was strangely compelling.
