In detroit our first cable in the 70s was called ON TV - clever name, no? Our nearby canadian cousins had cable loooong before we did, and we scoffed at them. They also had stinky well water toilets. The Popeye cartoon show was hosted by Poopdeck Paul if i remember correctly in the 50-60's. The 70's brought in new dress codes for students - jeans, tshirts, sandals.
