We projected The Return of the Giant Fly and Fria the Wolf onto the office walls while the producer ignored our work. We were hoping to meet Barry but he wasn't there. We did see Capt. 20 (Dick Daizel?) in his silver spacesuit before we left. Nobody called us back to show our movies. They never showed any local stuff, but TURN ON was still great. Where else was anything approaching a counterculture visible on television in Maryland before or since? Channel 20 was the best channel. Barry Richards was the closest thing we had to a hipster hero. I can't wait to see those old tapes if they ever come out.<br /><br />-Nick ZeddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652158022883271978.post-61752122517880559732009-11-29T02:17:08.727-05:002009-11-29T02:17:08.727-05:00I followed the show religiously when I lived in Ad...I followed the show religiously when I lived in Adelphi, Md. It was the most subversive local program on tv and has never been surpassed. Barry also interviewed visiting celebrities like Anita Gillette and screened old movie serials like Jungle Girl in between bands. He called it free-form television. There was no time limit on the show so sometimes it could go on for several hours late into the night. To a teenager living in the stifling hell-hole of conformist Maryland it was a breath of fresh air. After the series was inexplicably cancelled, Richards had a short lived show on possibly the same channel one afternoon where he aired the Mick Rock music video of David Bowie's Jean Genie in the fall of 72.<br />Barry Richards was soon cancelled by the morons running local TV in Maryland and nothing has happened there since.<br /><br />-Nick ZeddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652158022883271978.post-24754486501785389542009-11-28T19:47:42.311-05:002009-11-28T19:47:42.311-05:00I'm pals with Denny Craswell (Crow).
