Truthfully, was everyone drunk in the 1970s?

I watched it when boxing was on. I saw many of Ali's fights on it. I was a big boxing fan.

I liked it when Ali and Howard Cosell got into it.
I still love boxing-except it ain't on TV no more. All they got is this TMA s**t.

Truthfully, was everyone drunk in the 1970s?
When we elected an inept peanut farmer who's brother tried to market his own line of beer?

When a washed up football player made a number of movies in which a good guy moon shine runner against a corrupt sheriff, finally getting famous in a movie about a pair of guys trying to smuggle a truckload of Coors across state lines?

Yes, I believe they were.

It was cool to never know what sport would be on. You never knew what they would show: could be boxing, could be bowling, could be jai-alai. You got exposed to stuff you wouldn't have thought of watching otherwise.

But they all had the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
