The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
On the other hand, we seem to be doing pretty darn well late in the 3rd--they're playing Fesenko. My hell.
ReplyDeleteHey I just saw the freaky robot dental patient video. That really made my day. The best part is the close-up of her (its) face, which makes the dentist's office unrecognizable.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to edit out the beginning and end and just circulate the fifteen seconds of that think moving its head around, grimacing, and talking with its mouth open while insturctions are given in off-camera Japanese.
