   This was a honest-to-god real TV show. It was canceled 10 minutes into the airing of the first episode. The local affiliates were like “screw this, we’re outta here”. I challenge you to watch as far into as you can.

     @tek I can see why it wasn't appropriate for 1969. Definitely would have been a late 70s or early 80s thing.

     @emag Would that ever have been appropriate? I’m skeptical.

     I loved it. Mescaline cereal. "A woman needs love", ouch! This touched on many interesting issues & it has an anti-capitalist vibe.

     @FranceskaMann The mescaline cereal genuinely made me laugh. I had a hard time with the rest. It felt like, uh, what I’d imagine being too high to feel like.

     In retrospect, it was forward thinking and groundbreaking. It seemed to predict the way people consume media now.

     I see it as art. I love art.

     @FranceskaMann That’s fair. My assessment was a little less generous and involved imagining prodigious quantities of banned substances.

     The bufferin ad?! That part was real!!
     I loved it. It was like this weird little time capsule of the past and the future kind of mixed together. It was messy and anti-capitalist and anti-sexist and multi racial. I thought it was fucking awesome.
