Recently I came across a TV Guide I’d saved since I was a kid, I don’t know why I saved it. It has a Quincy on the cover and while I enjoyed that show (and now love comedian Jim Norton’s “Jimcy” rants on the radio)it doesn’t explained why I kept it. I am glad I did however because it gives me the ability to show what a six year old in Toronto was faced with on Saturday morning. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I cut off the 5am – 6am part, it’s mostly “farm report” programming with the only kid like thing being “Hilarious House of Frightenstein” on Channel 11 (who actually made that series)<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

No wonder Monster Squad <\/a>got cancelled, it was up against the Krofft Supershow, I’m surprised I watched it at all.
There is some Canadian content that some might not recognize, Circle Square<\/strong> was a christian show where everybody lip synched poorly. C.u.c.u.m.b.e.r<\/strong> (Children’s Underground Club of United Moose and Beaver for Enthueastic Reporters) featuring two people wearing a Moose and Beaver costumes who encouraged kids to write, John Candy once appeared in spandex as a superhero and Martin Short played a rabbit. Harrigan<\/strong> was a Leprechaun who sang songs or something, I never watched it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shazam\/Isis and Superfriends are the three big reasons I’m such a junkie for comic book movies today. By noon, my parents would either throw me outside or my older sister would have to get her Shatner fix (she was going to marry him) and turn it to Star Trek. Either way, I constantly got screwed out of Fat Albert and Ark 2.
I’ve said it before but now my children have three channels of cartoons to choose from, 24\/7, I’d have killed for that as a kid bt now, I kind of wish they could experience a time like our Saturday morning…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
