Happy "Max Headroom Incident" Day to all who celebrate.
On November 22, 1987 television signals in Chicago were interrupted twice by an unknown person in a Max Headroom mask.
(Kids, ask your grandparents about Max Headroom)
The first time, WGN Channel 9's 9 PM news was interrupted for about 17 seconds before WGN's engineers got control of their signal back.
The second time, it was WTTW Channel 11's turn. The PBS station's airing of the classic Doctor Who episode The Horror of Fang Rock was interrupted with the clip above.
Those responsible were never caught and has since become a legendary moment in piracy/hacking.
Daffy Duck made after the likeness of a Garfield Goose painting from the set of WGN’s “Family Classics.” This painting by Jesse Silver of artwork I pencilled, found its way into episodes of “Duck Dodgers” and “The Looney Tunes Show.”

• gave hasil + sally ann the most screen time. by a big fucking margin
• explored the farrell’s culture more instead of just showing a couple mountain parties and shallow expressions of a nebular sort of ‘worship’ for their depthless folksy religion
• made big foster’s rape an actual plot point with narrative weight and consequence instead of using it as a graphic pre-intro sting and then never giving him any notable trauma or feelings on it at all nor have him even mention it to the rest of the family
• gave krake the second most screen time
• had even a single person acknowledge the farrell <- -> feral thing that would’ve been funny
• made kyle gallner wear a collar and bark like a dog
Inspector Morley, Late of Scotland Yard, Investigates: The Case of the Scarlet Letters (1.3, WGN-TV, 1952)
"Mr. Mullins, I have in my possession sixty-eight letters, none of which has begun to outlive its usefulness. I'm quite prepared to admit that blackmail is risky, but then murder has its disadvantages too - that is why I gave up murder."
