Worth a strong Lone Star State of mind to advance, capitalize on earlier generations' power of entertainment that effectively approached and captured the attention of their children as little people who could easily be possessed by such the same spirit as lone independent KTVT's in the late 60s. I don't remember any of the local stuff, but the ridiculous silliness, macabre images, and even Icky Twerp's drawl (seems to be more of a comfortable Texas "lengthening" of words for added emphasis especially as kids may not have been able to devote full attention just before school) work well as fitting tribute to The Three Stooges. The living room TV screen served as quite a window in time through which Slam Bang Theatre made a kid's day in only the first hour of it (in Tyler, 100 miles east).
