Knowing is half the battle, your brain on drugs and we learned it from watching you Dad! This week Larry and Bruce visit the strange world of Public Service Announcements.  

Are they Education or Propaganda? Maybe a bit of both?  We discuss some classics PSA's, PSA's and children's programming, and the shocking world of Canadian Safety Education in Episode 115 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage Podcast 77: The Paul Lynde Halloween Special (1976)

The Media Montage Podcast finishes of our month of Halloween themed episodes with one of the strangest things we’ve ever watched. 

Imagine comedian Paul Lynde of Bewitched and Hollywood Squares fame, assembling characters from the World of Sid and Marty Krofft, The Wizard of Oz, Tim Conway, Betty White and rock band KISS in their television network debut, for a Halloween themed comedy/variety special.  

That’s what happened on October 29th, 1976, and Larry and I take an in depth look at this surreal TV Special.  Hear Larry’s Paul Lynde impersonation, and contemplate Bruce and Larry’s Pitch for the Louis C.K. Halloween Special.  The scariest thing we watched all month long in Episode 77 of the Media Montage Podcast!
