    Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”

      I’m not familiar with M.A.S.H. (though I know of the show) to know that song. So I read it to myself to the tune of this beaut

    Holy crap, I forgot this was even a thing … I was awash with memories and feelings as soon as I read the title.

    It was M.A.S.H. for me … parents watching reruns, I think, as I’m not that old.

    Not really a show, but Im familiar with the old CBC (canada) sign-off. Wasn’t really my bed time either, I have insomnia disorder, I would just read books after the tv went off-air for the night. I’m also familiar with the CBC sign-on, and the first program on in the morning was 100 Huntley Street, followed by the PTL Club, before Jim and Tammy Faye went to jail.

    Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

    This question reminds me of the early '70s, in Italy, when only a state-owned TV channel was broadcasting, and without ads. Except between 8:30 and 9:00 pm, in a special time where the spots were like little show, the children were watching them with their eyes glued to the screen, and then… bedtime! It was “Carosello”, and for the whole Italy: “the children to bed after Carosello”!

    Not always bedtime but the stopwatch to start 60 Minutes was a weekly reminder that the party is over and school is imminent.

      Damn, I felt that. 😩

      That ominous stopwatch ticking every morning meant that it was time to get on the school bus and that the party was over.
