Phillybubby…
Do you remember they also had knowledge-testing quiz show, like College Bowl, but for high school students.
Do you remember that one?
It was called “It’s Academic”.
EVERYONE…
Here’s a general observation about TV shows today.
I think these days everyone must have, at least a touch of, A.D.D.
Do you remember in the old days pretty much ALL TV shows (like, for example, “The Honeymooners”) started by giving titles and introductions, like “The Honeymooners, starring Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, … etc.”
NOW, most shows have NO intros like that. They go right into the heart of the show (I think because they’re afraid you’ll lose interest if they do it the old way) and then, three or four minutes later when they’ve ‘hooked you’ into watching, THEN they give the credits.
