Brief Summaries and Morals of Every "ABC After School Special" I Can Almost Vaguely Remember

A haze falls over my television memory, and we only had three channels during my entire formative television years. (And those three channels were all uphill, in the snow, fifteen miles away, each way!)

Did I let that stop me? No! I fought on.

I must pass these treasured stories from one generation to the next. I don't care which generation, as long as it's being passed along. That's my point here. The fables and stories of our great culture must be preserved, even if only precariously - nay, half-assedly - so.

Here lies, for all to see, what might be the well-minted storylines and morals from that true repository of our societal guide posts: The ABC After School Special.
