Classic Specials / PSA's/ cartoons,etc...

[tangentgirl]

Does anyone remember the classic ABC Afterschool special starring none other than Michelle Phieffer (sp?), Val Kilmer, and Mare Winningham --- about the dangers of drinking and driving???

Any other classic PSA's (this is your brain on drugs... I learned it from watching you dad...etc...)

Do they even still have afterschool specials???

I apologize... I grew tired of commenting on threads that dated back to '04 and thought I'd try to get a little bit of nostalgia flowing.

Oh... and if no one bothers to add to the list or comment on my lame subject... that's okay, as the voices in my head are used to having conversations w/ themselves.

My favorite is a PSA from the 50s about the usefulness of Springs. I can't remember the actual title (and am having no luck finding it on IMDB), but I'm sure someone else here will. It was a short featured on MST3K once - it stars Coily, the Spring Sprite, who appears to make one man realize exactly how important springs can be to us.

I was a little young for the ABC Afterschool specials (ie: too young to remember most of them), and my mom was really strict with tv, so any that were on when I was old enough to remember I never got to watch. There was one with Candace Cameron, but I don't remember what it was called.

But if you've never heard Coily say "No Springs!" then you are really missing out:)
