Something about those days seemed ripe for escape to greener pastures. Well, we were right! People love this stuff a million times over!

And unlike the megaplex, you can talk during this movie! Sometimes people ask, “Who is Uncle Arnie?” Uncle Arnie’s all of us, none of us… it’s an idea, see, about being free to tune in to the frequency of your own station and stay there awhile. No commercial interruptions! Life’s a trip. Drink it up.”
