Anyone Else Get Excited?

I got more excited by KTTV channel 11 in Los Angeles’s mature content warning that began with a doorbell. Nothing brings me back to my weekends of childhood TV watching like that doorbell

Let's not forget the ABC Sunday night movie that was the gateway to such classics, like Ewoks: the Battle for Endor.

This pre-roll has never been equaled. My favorite one was the night they played Alien for the first time on TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOGP4kpRyic

Fun fact: the music you are hearing in your head right now was edited from a track from Hawaii Five-O.

And the title of that track is Call To Danger (you'll hear it at :48).

I was just going to say that the word "special" should be rotating.

Friday nights. Didn't matter if it was Dr. Seuss or Peanuts or whatever. We watched.

Another Channel 2 kid here who remembers Peter Paul Cadbury. Dolly Madison was ice cream here, wasn't it?

I’ve still never seen Dolly Madison in the wild. It must be a regional thing that my state didn’t get. But I definitely knew what it was because of the Peanuts specials lol.

Those specials were the only time I ever heard about Dolly Madison cakes. I never saw them either but they were not something my mom would ever buy so maybe I didn’t really notice them.

Everything was Hostess here, but my parents didn’t buy those for us, either. My dad would occasionally buy the Snowballs and keep them in his truck to have with coffee while working. I knew exactly where he kept his stash and sometimes I’d get lucky lol.

I lived in LA, CA we had Dolly Madison stores there. I remember the first time I bought Zingers, they were basically a slightly smaller Twinkie with icing on top. I expected the yellow icing to taste like lemon (it didn’t).

To be honest, I can’t tell you what it tasted like, it was just sweet.
