UNIVERSAL REMOTE

It's hard to describe how influential this guy was to New York-area adolescents in the mid-sixties. I can remember being at a party where kids were doing entire routines—with friends playing Pookie and the whole bit. In those pre-VCR and DVR days, kids would rush home from high school to watch the latest late-afternoon craziness. It was silly; it was pointless; but, at that point, so were our lives.

Requiescat in pace.
