ABC Afterschool Specials (1972–1997)

Really Wished That This Was Back!

Warning: Spoilers
I really wished that this was back. As a kid growing up in the 1980s. And that it really shows great acting despite a limited budget. As the anthology show that featured young actors or actors that have gone onto bigger things.

With great writing and acting and plus showing a message week in and week out. Of issues like child abuse, bullying, and drinking among other things. With a message to tell.

Now that I have nephews and nieces of my own, seven of them. Wonder why they can't remake this show. As really remember the gumball machine in the intro. That is the trademark of these after school specials. As they appeared once a month if I can remember correctly.

Kids a days are more interested in video games and garbage. Back then, TV for young people was good. Brought back some great memories.
