Title: Ah, memories! Post by: The Burgomaster on May 09, 2011, 12:18:56 PM Here are some examples of GREAT television programming from when I was a teenager growing up in the Greater Boston area. These clips are from Channel 56, which was an independent UHF channel back in the day. Fond, fond memories!

The only thing scarier were episodes of Community Auditions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVlxW3jW_y8&feature=related Title: Re: Ah, memories! Post by: Allhallowsday on May 09, 2011, 11:31:40 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATUJG3DSziw&NR=1

The only thing scarier were episodes of Community Auditions [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVlxW3jW_y8&feature=related[/url] I remember it well. Dave Maynard was the host. He also taught communications classes at Boston University when I went there. There was also an eye doctor's office in Malden,MA called "Community Opticians." I'm not sure if it's still there. |
