Granted, you had to be the right age to remember that role, and he did a lot of other stuff, but ain't no question he was probably the key figure outside of my folks that got me interested in news and 'the world,' for lack of a better term. Between that and Schoolhouse Rock, all was love.

Remembrances from Jump the Shark

TV Squad thoughts

I would kill for a sample video clip or a sample of the music, especially that concluding part. Anyone?

Yeah, I remember them having a particulary killer synth "audio logo." Or maybe I'm mixing them up with the PBS bumpers.

This site has a bunch of "Time for Timers" spots.

But yeah, In the News ... I wonder if the theme music sounds like Boards of Canada.

Is that a newer photo, as I'm guessing, Ned?

Separated at birth...

THANK you, it was bugging me that that photo reminded me of someone but I couldn't remember who!

Rickey -- I guess it's recent, yes.

In the News, finally on YouTube.

:-D

Whoa, is that Jaleel White in the Nabisco commercial?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 4 March 2006 02:36 (twenty years ago)

Whoa, that atonal synth music is totally psycho.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 4 March 2006 02:45 (twenty years ago)

YAY! This clip makes me totally happy...

― The Equator Lounge (Chris Barrus), Saturday, 4 March 2006 02:56 (twenty years ago)

seven months pass...

Sadly, he has now passed on.

You're only encouraging Momus to piss on his cultural legacy, you realize.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Frightening thought.
