Byron’s TV Listings, Feb. 8

CTVA - US TV Listings - 1958

Move over, Leester! Byron the Quokka here, with some real TV listings that’ll knock your socks off–courtesy of Quokka University. These are among the greatest TV shows ever! Go ahead, ask anybody.

7 p.m.   Ch. 16  PICASSO DOESN’T SCHLEP HERE ANYMORE–Art history

This is highbrow stuff, no kidding! Tonight: Famous Artists Who Itched All the time and Didn’t Know Why. Host: Simon LeGree. Sponsored by Culver’s Skin Cream (Just wipe it on and wipe it off–hours of fun).

Ch.  25   WORLD NEWS WITH MR. WOODENHEAD–Exactly what you’d expect.

How about a nightly news broadcast in which the entire crew is clumsily painted marionettes? The anchor, Mr. Woodenhead, is also available to children as a sock puppet. Imagine the shock and awe suffered by the experts when this newscast walked off with the coveted Pete Bohunk Prize!

7:15 p.m.   Ch. 31  PUPPETS WHO PULL THE STRINGS–Sci-fi drama

This is why Channel 25 is suing Channel 31 in the Malagasy Republic Supreme Court. “Total rip-off!” cries the plaintiff. Meanwhile, imagine a world ruled by ruthless, all-powerful puppets! Theme song, Who’s Got Strings Attached Now?, earned star Ralph Lickspittle an Ambrose Fong Award.

7:30 p.m.  Ch. 14  EXCAULIFLOWER–Historical adventure

This is the story of King Barfur (Juan Valdez) and his Knights of the Craps Table. This week, Sir Pantsalot goes on a quest for the Holy Grail and comes back with the Groly Hail; and Queen Effervessent’s annual ping-pong tournament has to be canceled on account of monkeys.

Well, now, how about that! Are those TV shows or are those TV shows! You wouldn’t believe how much art history I’ve learned, watching Picasso Doesn’t Schlep Here Anymore.

  1. Hello, All. I was just released from the hospital yesterday and still feel half dead, so I don’t think I will be able to be on much today, and don’t know when. My sons are saddled with just about everything I need. I hate that, but nothing I can do. Asking prayers and I continue to pray for you. Thankfully I can still pray.

    1. Erlene, we were very worried about you yesterday, so it’s mighty good to hear from you today.
      Please rest and get better. We keep you in our prayers.

  2. thank you both for your prayers. This is the worst I have ever been. Diagnosed with pneumonia and severe heart attack- given8 more pesky RX. Hate this. Shouldn’t
    complain though- excuse me. Lot of lying around for me now.

    1. We don’t mind if you complain. We just pray for you and try to keep the love flowing. I haven’t forgotten that you phoned me while I was in the hospital.

  3. Erlene and I must be part of a tag team. Yesterday I was admitted to the hospital after a week of serious illness. They’re treating me for pneumonia but there may also be permanent lung damage. Don’t know yet. Have to take it day by day.

    Meanwhile I continue to pray for healing for Lee and Erlene.

    1. Oh, holy cow! What’s going on here? It’s like we’re all getting sick at once.
      Please, Phoebe, rest and get better, and know that you’re in our prayers.

  4. The Pete Bohunk Prize and the Ambrose Fong Award all in one night – who can stand this much gravitas? Looks like I will have to watch EXCAULIFLOWER–Historical adventure because I can’t get those monkeys out of my mind – like how do they fit in the plot of such great and important history?

  5. Prayers for Erlene, Phobe, and Lee. My wife was very sick with the flu during Christmas and the Urgent Care doctor said my wife had a touch of pneumonia – can’t imagine how sick Phoebe and Erlene have been. I know no better confession of God’s Word for healing than “By Jesus stripes and wounds we are healed.”
