That
Teen Show: Teenage Suicide
Do you remember an 80's TV show called
That Teen Show? Yeah, we don't
either. That may have something to do
with the fact that it was so bad it was
cancelled after one episode. And this
is that amazing episode! Apparently someone
thought the best way to capture the interest
of the after school special crowd was
to have Haywood Nelson a.k.a. Dwayne Nelson
from TV's What's Happening talk
to Hervé Villechaize a.k.a. Tattoo
from TV's Fantasy Island about
his many attempted suicides and how he
learned to love life. The irony of this
is the fact that Hervé did finally
commit suicide some 10 years after appearing
on this show. The rest of the program
is devoted to sad looking kids talking
about their failed suicide attempts and
how other kids shouldn’t follow
in their footsteps. No shit… Also
on this disc is the great 1970's educational
film All American Meal, which
tries to figure out exactly why the all
American meal has become a hamburger,
french fries and a Coke
