It aired in a late-night weekday slot across from All in the Family and was liberally laced with K-Tel commercials. It lasted a surprisingly long time -- two seasons, I think -- but gathered little apparent support beyond a high-school fan club. It's been off the air for years now. I don't think it even shows on cable, even if I had cable. At this point, I wouldn't complain about pledge drives or even irregular showtimes. If it were on PBS it would at least be on. McD
