My fave shows way back then, I'll start, Dark Shadows,the orginal scared the crap outta me. And it was aired in the afternoon! And yet I came home from school, and had to watch it.
I watched a lot of PBS back then and there was one cooking show
. Williams and Ree, a comedy team that made a hilarious yet, informative cooking show,( a bit racist, this was way back then) and I , as I got older, learned how to cook, from that show.
