The second OMYAM Halloween Special covers two attempts by 80s TV to figure out the whole punk rock thing. In 1982, TV coroner Jack Klugman tried to figure out why these kids were dressing up like Halloween every day and doing the slam dancing when they could just put on some Glenn Miller and be normal. Oh, and solve a murder. Then that staple of issue based entertainment, the ABC Afterschool Special, has the doctor from The Love Boat trying to deal with his nice violin-playing son turning into a nice makeup-and-spiked-hair wearing son. You can watch both on YouTube here. And if you go on my Patreon and subscribe on any tier here, you can hear about the Halloween John Belushi's punk friends trashed SNL. This episode is a must for fans of Ziggy Ziggy Sputnik.
