Flashback Friday!! ABC After School Specials Were The Shiz!

As a kid, I remember stressing that the bus was going to be late getting me home in time for ABC After School Specials!  These awesome mini movies starred the likes of Rob Lowe, Jodie Foster and Kristy McNichol and ran from the 70s until the 90s.  They understood the beyond dramatic world of teenagers and made sure that we felt better about being awkward, pimply and lame. 

And for the popular kids, they tried to make them feel bad about making fun of the short bus kids.  They took on every handicap they could think of, like blindness, wheelchairs and special ed!  I wish it was still on today.  But alas, kids are such assholes nowadays why bother.

Here's one of my favs, "The Great Love Experiment!"
