A huge thanks to The Haunted Drive-In on YouTube for posting this gem.
WTXX was local station 20 in Waterbury, Connecticut from 1982 to 2010.
KidsTime with T.X. Critter was your typical Sunday morning kids show featuring a live
host and puppets. Puppet co-host T.X Critter was created by Paul Fusco who would go on to
create ALF a few years later!
This special hits that magical Halloween childhood sweet spot. It gives me
nostalgia feels even though I'd never seen it. There's just something about it
being a product of the 80s and the charm that only comes from a locally
produced show.
The school kids are just *chef's kiss*
Did I mention it also has the original commercials?

I've been watching these retro broadcasts all season. I've added this one to my Halloween playlist. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat Beast Man mask in the background when the kids are talking just was an extra special detail. I love it!
ReplyDeletePaul had left the show by this time. I interned with the main puppeteer, Joe Zito, in 1983? I think he was still there at this point. Paul was long gone by then
