An interesting scenario from the NYTimes blog:
Mr. O’Brien argued last week “Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet, a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the ‘Tonight Show,’ I believe nothing could matter more.” I’m sure nothing could matter more on spreadsheets and in traditional advertising meetings. But with the 18- to 34-year-old crowd, who have shown undaunted support for Mr. O’Brien, a time slot is as relevant as which brand of frying pan your favorite restaurants use to cook your meal — maybe it makes a difference in the kitchen, but 99 percent of the patrons just want good food.
"This never happened to me before. It was so scary but I wanted to watch all of it!"
And to fair, the opening theme to The Osmonds cartoon show (1972).
If the song sounds overly Motown, it’s because this was more-or-less the Caucasion sequel to “The Jackson 5ive” cartoon.These shows would play back to back on Saturday morning. In the mixed Philly neighborhood where I grew up, five year old Black kid and five year old White kids would spend Saturday afternoons arguing over which cartoon had better songs and who stole whose style from the other (ummm, and yeah, I argued for Donny & bros!).
“The Jackson 5ive” animated TV show from 1971. See also, “The Osmonds” and my commentary there.
Just watched some Father Ted, “Entertaining Father Stone” from the first season.
