I grew up outside of NYC. They have a channel 11 there called WPXI. In the afternoon they used to show "Dark Shadows," which was goth before there was goth, but in between Barnabas Collins eyeteeth they found room to air up and coming artists. Because this station knew their viewing aud., they were the first ones that I know of that gave Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle some television time. "Hello darkness my old friend," just made sense for the "Dark Shadows" crowd. I was 15 and I loved it. Simon and Garfunkle were hometown boys that made good. Didn't anyone mention "TheGraduate?" i cannot believe no one has commented on this one. I grew up outside of NYC. They have a channel 11 there called WPXI.
