Almost forgot: the scene from Melies’ _Voyage to the Moon_ where the ship crashes into the eye of the Man in the Moon at the beginning of the Disney tv program _Man in Space_.

Same here except I first saw it in the Smashing Pumpkins video for “Tonight, Tonight.” Okay, not really kiddie. Teenagery?

When I was little, there was in the living room a little slip-cased set of soft-cover art history books from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I used to pore over those books, so I was familiar with a lot of works of art before I really had any idea that there were great masterpieces. I just thought they were purty pictures!

The first time I ever saw Alice Cooper, was when he appeared on _The Muppet Show_.

I saw Alistaire Cookie host _Monsterpiece Theater_, long before I ever saw Alistaire Cooke host _Masterpiece Theater_.

I saw caricatures of Peter Lorre in Warner Brothers cartoons, long before I ever saw the real man in the original movies.

I saw Arte Johnson’s parody of Dwight Frie in _Love at First Bite_, long before I ever saw _Dracula_.
