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 one I remember around here was hosted by a grossly fat hillbilly and a skeleton.
The clips I posted are actually "newer" ones (from the early 1980s). I remember watching CREATURE FEATURE as far back as when I was about 6 or 7 years old around 1970 or 71.
Here's one from Pittsburgh.

Those Channel 56 promos used to freak me out when I was a really young kid growing up in Worcester.
The only thing scarier were episodes of Community Auditions

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.
