Sarah! Bless your psychedelic heart for this article!
And Peter--I was born in 1964, and yes, Krofft shows are like a secret handshake for our age-ilk...Do you think that when we're in our nineties, we'll be reminiscing about Jack Wild's bell-bottoms and that creepy passive-aggressive flute? "Oranges Smoranges"?
Okay, you early Gen-Xers...admit it. When you saw Mitt Romney, you thought of Jimmy being "a Mechanical Boy"!..
All good things must come to an end, and when Sid and Marty did the Brady Bunch variety show, you knew the Lucky-Charms/Land of the Lost high was over...sorta like when the immensely talented Paul Williams wrote the "Love Boat" theme song and John Sebastian wrote songs for that noxious Strawberry Shortcake...
Trivia--Margaret Hamilton was also on "Sigmund". Played Mary Wickes' best pal.
Pee-Wee had some creative stuff, but Pee-Wee was nasty, hard-edged *80's. I'm surprised Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump didn't make guest appearances! I hate Paul Rubens almost as much as Wilford Brimley!
Before I regress any further...Does anyone think Barack can get more votes using the Secret Handshake? Maybe referring to the GOP as SLeestaks...
(Yes, that Charles Nelson-Reilly as bunny-in-drag thing is something you just had to be there to understand...And THAT perverted scene was STILL more wholesome fare than Pee-Wee's Play-With-Myself-HOuse!)
