Howdy, Folks!
I just got back to town after spending a lovely Thanksgiving week in
San Diego, and I just found out that there will be a tribute to Wallace and Ladmo airing
this Saturday, December 4 at 9:00 p.m. on channel 5
here in Phoenix.
The retrospective follows KPHO's own very interesting-looking 50th-anniversary special, airing at 8 p.m.
I must say that I am very VERY pleased about this, since this marks the 10th anniversary
of the LAST broadcast of a t.v. show which aired for 36 years.
Actually, the last broadcast was on December 29,1989 but this is close enough.
6 months ago I wrote an article commemorating this tenth
anniversary, but I had assumed when I was writing it that there would be no official
acknowledgement of this important date.
Sometimes I'm happy to be wrong, and so it is that I find it unnecessary to publish
my article anywhere other than here.
I'm going to try to add the Dec 4th footage as well as some other video that was broadcast
a few years ago, but I have to consider the copyrights as well
as bandwidth considerations, not to mention the fact that I don't have a capture card (sigh).
This is my personal tribute to the phenomenon that was the Wallace
and Ladmo show.
I've conducted a search on all the major engines for you
and I've listed all of the results with comments on their
relevance to the story.
