No, they couldn't possibly have had the Go Cart (Go Cart! Not
pushcart!) race on television, or there'd have been children all over
America, stealing baby-coach wheels. The babies would look up and
say, "Why me?"

Re Fat Albert, I STR there was a one-shot, half-hour animated cartoon
made for prime-time (as in evening, when things can't suck _quite_ as
bad as they did on Saturdays, when the audience was primarily
children) that I recall was actually quite good. The series wasn't
for at least a year or two, IIRC.

And then, the Chicken Heart routine actually _was_ on some radio
program: he's not kidding. It may have been changed somewhat either
for effect, or simply by his own childhood, selective memory, but it
may actually have been on "Lights Out" (again, a real program) for
all I know. I'll look it up ASAP.
