I enjoyed the cartoon.

What was the orchestral soundtrack to Yellow Submarine doing in the introduction?

some of the music you are hearing is from dirty dozen.

The Battle of the Network Stars was serious business, back before cable. You'd better believe that the Olympics didn't merit seven minutes worth of opening credits.

Tanks and bombs rolling out of NBC


tee hee

5 stars for how many minutes of my life I want back after watching that boring shit. Good job POE, ya got me!

I don't think you could make something like this today.

Notice how NBC has all the shitty shows no one has heard of... well, except Sanford and Son and Little House, but... who cares?

Terrible television event.

Is that Lorne Greene narrating the first part?

This is craven television of yesteryear that I actually don't remember.

It's no Circus of the Stars.

HOLMES AND YO-YO!

From the Wiki: "The series follows Detective Holmes and his new android partner Yo-Yo, on their adventures and misadventures, as Holmes teaches Yo-Yo what it is like to be human, while trying to keep his quirky partner's true nature a secret from criminals and fellow cops."

Also: "Many Nielsen viewers claimed they felt "uncomfortable" with the show's often racy humor, most especially episode seven, over 14 minutes of which was Yo-Yo verbalizing (in graphic detail) his desire for genitalia."

I need to see this.
