Please tell me someone remembers this TV show. I actually think this program shaped my entire life. Rue Morgue did a wonderful article on it in their latest issue and reading it settled my restless soul as I'd been racking my brain for years trying to piece together the scattered memories stored in the deep recesses of my disturb centers.

It was, in short, awesome.

It would have to have been on UHF back in the day. Something like 17 here in New Jersey. The U.S. version was edited to a half-hour, but the Canadian version was a full hour show.

Youtube comes through with a few popular segments:

Grizelda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcvofD-4rto

The Wolfman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k6o0uwnj1U

All played by the legendary Billy Van, who passed away in '02, I think. I'm reading that the last broadcast was in the early 80's.

I've heard of the show but haven't seen it, except for one of those YouTube eps. (Someone brought it up on one of the other forums I'm on.)

I wouldn't be surprised if that was me, filmgal. Smile
