The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (182)


A New Pamphlet from the Department of Education



Thank you for joining us today.


Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1951 French Rarebit, directed by Robert McKimson.



Francois would later appear near the end of the direct-to-video film BahHumDuck! A Looney Tunes Christmas as Wile E. Coyote's personal chef which Daffy Duck had hired for him as his Christmas present.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to bring you another Toad Elevating Moment.



Now you can say that you haven't frittered and wasted the hours in an offhand way.


We hope you are doing well with your self quarantines - the programming department of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour have been vigorously scrubbing themselves with ACME Eagle Hand Soap - If your eagle's hands are dirty, we'll wash them clean! and sanitizing themselves for your protection. We are also engaged in social distancing - we are communicating with each other via Whispering Gallery in Grand Central Terminal and notes written with lemon juice.

August 1, 1981 -
MTV: Music Television went on the air for the first time on this date, with the words (spoken by one of MTV’s creators, John Lack): “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll.” MTV went on to revolutionize the music industry and become an influential source of pop culture and entertainment in the United States and other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia and Latin America, which all have MTV-branded channels. Now, not so much. But why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack (smoke 'em if you got 'em,) and a beer or two and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching and listening to the first couple of hours of MTV -



The network brought success to such newcomers as Madonna and new wave icons Duran Duran, who used increasingly sophisticated techniques to make the visual elements of the video as important as the music. MTV also gave renewed life to veteran performers such as ZZ Top, Tina Turner, and Peter Gabriel, each of whom scored the biggest hits of their careers thanks to heavy rotation of their videos. By the mid-1980s, MTV had produced a noticeable effect on motion pictures, commercials, and television. It also changed the music industry; looking good (or at least interesting) on MTV became as important as sounding good when it came to selling recordings.
