OUT OF PLAY: Reminds me of Sunday nights at my grandparents’ house. The adults would play pinochle in the dining room while the kids were sat in front of the TV. We would put it on the right channel, and we would suffer through that utterly, dreadfully, miserably dull Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, counting down the minutes until Wonderful World of Disney, and its attendant movie, and commercials for Walt Disney World, would come on. I would learn about Mutual of Omaha’s exemplary customer service and wide range of insurance products in much the same way that you learned about pork belly futures.

The local non-network affiliate would air reruns weekdays at 6 pm, long before it became a cultural icon. My family would watch it while eating dinner, as the only other options were evening news and my parents found those too unsettling, what with Vietnam and riots always being shown.

Koz eventually dropped the “Son of” part of the name, with Bishop’s blessing, and the show continues today, running on both the local independent Chicago station WCIU, and on the syndicated “digital subchannel” network MeTV.

OUT OF PLAY: Ah, the Halcyon Days of UHF TV! No wonder Weird Al made a movie about it! And while my town’s independent UHF station (WRSP-TV 55, now a Fox affiliate) did have some of the hallmarks of such a channel, one thing we did not have was the Friday-night (or Saturday-night) horror block. At least, not that I remember. By the time I was old enough to pay attention to such things, the neighborhood tweens and I just kind of rotated whomever’s house we went to. We’d usually watch “Friday Night Videos” on TBS, and later, MTV.
