Description
You will never forget the Brady Bunch double episode in Hawaii. But do you remember Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway? Can you recite the Oscar Mayer Wiener jingle or win at Name That Tune? Have you seen every Love Boat episode with Charo in it? Take a Technicolor journey back to the days when cable and satellite were science fiction and the boob tube had three channels that signed off at 1:00 am to the national anthem. Do You Remember TV? resuscitates the most vivid moments of our couch-potato youth with 144 pages crammed full of television tidbits from the late '50s, '60s, '70s, and early '80s. From Good morning, angels to Good night, John Boy, from the Oscar Night streaker to Oo! Oo! Mr. Kotter! this tiny tribute to the great days of TV brings back the favorite moments that are forever lodged in our collective TV unconscious.
