Return of Memoryfest - Day 26/31

[bironic]

It hurts not to be able to read and comment and reply during the day and then to (unexpectedly) be out all evening. :( I want to talk to you. I am reduced to skimming the f-list ten minutes before bed and copying everything that looks good into a Word document for tomorrow's reading.

26. Pre-school

I'm pretty sure I've never seen or heard of this show

For many years, I had a lost sci-fi and you will laugh at this one! I swear! :-D

You ought to poke around here to see if you can find anything that rings a bell as the name of that show.

I remember the first time I realized that film and television could affect me just as much as written words. I was probably about eight years old and I was watching the Twilight Zone episode Time Enough at Last. It wasn't the first Twilight Zone episode I'd seen, but this one was new to me and I was still too young to have picked up pop culture references to things that were before my time. So the story was completely new to me. By the end I'd allowed myself to identify with poor Bemis so much that when his glasses broke I felt the most profound despair. Seriously, my heart completely shattered. Even now when I watch that episode (or even think about it, really) I get a terrible pang in my chest and my eyes mist up in sympathy and frustration.
