OK my turn to find things for jadelennox!!

Actually derspatchel found it, and probably two or three others will get all the references or like the horribly awesome song, but you have to have grown up in Boston like JL to experience the same atavistic pleasure from the logo in the opening frames as I did. (Unless she didn't watch the same TV that I did 25 years ago. I am gambling that she did.)

Update: Ha ha ha, I found the album on iTMS and snap-boughted the whole thing before realizing that none of the other songs sounded like that. But still.

The oldschool WGBH-style logo is worth the download.

0 - 2 - 1 - 3 - 4, send it to Zoom!

You seem to think that Zoom only showed on WGBH. For many of us in the rest of the country, seeing that logo after Electric Company meant that Zoom was about to come on. Which was a happy thing.

I was not aware of this.
