Creature Features ruled until
they went All Godzilla All The Time. Before that, they showed a wide variety of horror movies. That's why I switched over to Channel 5 and Chiller Theatre at 1pm. Godamn, horror movies all day long on Saturdays, those were the days.
Oh, and Ernie Boch Jr deserves a special place in hell for besmirching the memory of Creature Double Feature with his ridiculously stupid and shamelessly self-promoting version he attempted recently.

I never got the appeal of Godzilla either. As a kid, I loved the cheezy, scary sci-fi and horror flicks of the 50s and early 60s. Godzilla was more like a cartoon.

Truly sweet. I remember that, and Dana Carvey on 38 introducing the movies.
I wonder just how much television history and styles Boston has exported over the years - both commercial as well as public television. Not to mention in-depth and highly technical weather coverage, of course.

Saturday As A Kid
Cartoons, Wrestling, Candlepin Bowling (Don Gillis) on Channel 5, and then Creature Double Feature. I'm sure there were Saturdays I actually went outside and got some sunlight, but I don't remember them nearly as clearly as I do the above.
