I would swear.

Okay, so they had Saturday Star Theater, 10 o'clock to midnight, and the movies were pretty low down, very, you know, whatever was five years old and they could get the rights to for a night.

I watched the reincarnation of Peter Proud one time on Saturday Star Theater.

That was my favorite.

And maybe there was one I kind of liked where Sissy Spacek was a hippie radical, blows herself up by accident.

It had Henry Winkler in it, that kind of thing.

But I swear to you, as I'm sitting here, okay, one time, totally out of nowhere, they put on the 400 blows.

I'm totally certain that...

was the Saturday Star Theater.

You know what they also showed one time was Husbands, the Cassavetes movie.

And I always wondered if some intern just couldn't take it anymore and switched out the tapes or something.

They had to watch something good, you know, wash away the WMBR stain.

The king of Zenmark would demand to be told a joke.

He had this big gold staff and he would tap on this little monk looking guy and say, bring me a joke.

And in would come this puppet with a big scroll and he would read a terrible dad joke.

And there was this princess puppet with way too big a chest and pigtails.

And at the end of every joke,

Everybody in the king's court would like laugh and she would look around with this completely confused look on her face.

She never got any of the jokes and they'd cut to a close up of her face just baffled.

And I always felt bad for her.
