I don't remember that Radio Free Europe PSA... or even <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqBB-8PJfLs" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, the full-color update. But it's cool to think about all the TV marginalia from childhood.<br /><br />Like tourist ads. I grew up in D.C., and I remember the tourist ads for Pennsylvania... with a distinctive jazzy walking-bass-line theme song that went "Penn-syl-vaaa-nia."<br /><br />I sure hope that one's on YouTube.Undercover Black Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704721024820668555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-14049072367177071302010-03-27T22:10:48.764-07:002010-03-27T22:10:48.764-07:00"Insight" was that Sunday morning show t..."Insight" was that Sunday morning show that was like a half-hour Catholic "Playhouse 90." I'm sure that I saw Martin Sheen on it a couple of times. Now I gotta go find out if they've got dvds out there! And speaking of PSAs, do you remember one from the Ad Council in the mid-to-late sixties that was for Radio Free Europe? It was in black and white and started off with this young twenty-ish guy walking through the streets of a European city, up and down stairs and ending up in a cramped radio studio where he puts on a headphone set and introduces a record in rapid-fire German, tagging it with the words "Awnn Brawd-Vey..." just as the Drifters start singing, "They say the neon lights are bright...." It made me, a little kid, want to get into radio.chachabowlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-63690701362827344842010-03-27T11:57:18.926-07:002010-03-27T11:57:18.926-07:00Also remember something called Insight (I think) t...<em>Also remember something called Insight (I think) that reminded me of a religious Twilight Zone.</em><br /><br />Dude, I <em>loved</em> "Insight"! Right down to the theme song. I saw many episodes, and remember one quite vividly to this day... a game show called "Tell a Little Lie About Yourself." Creepy.<br /><br />As a moral lesson on how people will debase themselves to win a little money, that ep. is more relevant than ever.<br /><br />"Insight" was produced by the Paulist Fathers, a Catholic group. The priest who did the Rod Serling thing on camera was Father Bud Kieser... who also founded the Humanitas Prize, which is a coveted award for screenwriters. Father Bud's goal was to encourage writers to explore the human spirit.Undercover Black Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704721024820668555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-27582712723211411442010-03-27T10:19:43.078-07:002010-03-27T10:19:43.078-07:00Lutherans.

Guess I lumped them in with those other PSA commercials I used to see as a kid.<br />Also remember something called Insight (I think) that reminded me of a religious Twilight Zone. Dunno who put that out, but it was on Sunday mornings, of course.Edshugeo The GodMoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986507164485783874noreply@blogger.com
