I watched it when it was first broadcast. I thought it was OK. Then it disappeared for decades.

I finally found it on youtube and got to rewatch it. I’m sorry, but boy was it stupid. No wonder it got “lost”. I wanted to like it, I really did. I had great memories of it

But we do have some of the songs in our itunes playlists.

Me and my arrow…
