Six Freakiest Children's TV Rock Bands

[autographedcat]

If you've ever wondered why people around my age were less likely to do drugs than people who grew in the sixties, I have a fairly simple theory. We had stuff like this to watch on Saturday morning, thus rendering the notion of hallucinogenic drugs largely redundant.

I mean, once you've tripped on Sid and Marty Krofft, LSD really has nothing to offer you. And that's not even getting INTO the cartoon show where the Harlem Globetrotters were superheroes.

OK -- so Speed Racer and Johnny whats his name was low tech...

but hey, I got to come home from school and watch Dark Shadows. After that, most of the stuff they were offering was tame and the rest was just too dangerous :)

I was quite the DS fan back in the day. :) I loved it when the writers ripped off various novels that I had read or had a vague knowledge of. :) For example, in one of the present-day parallel time bits, they ripped off a lovely little sub-plot from Daphne du Marier's "Rebecca" (probably not spelling the author's name right, btw) involving a costume worn to a party. I was always astounding the kids at school by being able to "predict" what would happen next! LOL! All too easy, if one had read the book the script was based on. ;)

ah, but you use the magic word "read". Still and now more so a slightly foreign word to far too many.
