This Could Be The Greatest Single Night Of Television Ever

When I returned to Canada after five years of German TV, I was overwhelmed by all the selection and especially all the great programs perfected geared towards a twelve year old boy. Pamela Sue Martin fights Dracula, Then The Six Million Dollar Man fights a shark before a crazy spider woman creature movie?? I would have wet my pants at a night of entertainment like that and still would to this day. And the greatest things is I had nerdy friends who loved this kind of stuff too. This was appointment television before VCRs and the Internet. You watched it the first time and during the summer re-run or you lost you chance to see these gems forever. There was no such thing as binge watching. I regret none of the time I spent in my earliest Cave of Cool with my 13 inch black and white TV that I won selling newspaper subscriptions to the Winnipeg Free Press. I soon won my own BETA machine just as PAY TV movie channels came into fashion. I could create my first commercial free video library...only on BETA. Those were the best of times.
