COME HAVE A DRINK WITH US
The 1970’s was the greatest era of pop culture. Happy Days was appointment viewing—Tuesday nights at 8pm on ABC. Everyone was in front of the TV to watch the parade of catch-phrases: Heeey; whoooah; Sit on it; “I found my thrill…”; etc. etc. With today’s technology, 30 people in the room could be watching 30 different shows. There’s no shared cultural experience. For the next two weeks, you can recapture the magic at Mike Toomey’s “TV and Me” at the Skokie Theater (Fri&Sat 8pm). You know Mike as WGN’s fourth-string sportscaster, Skip Parker. The show is fantastic.
You may catch some of the WGN morning staff at the show and if you do, please don’t be afraid to buy us drinks before and after the show.//
