The guy on TV-8 that would read the weather from the lab on top of Mt. Washington. And then give a manical smile at the end of his report? That Eddie Driscoll?

I think Eddis Driscoll was the dialing for dollars guy. I could be wrong but whatever was on, I watched it.

Eddie was the sports guy in Bangor?

Even better, who was the dude that did the late Saturday night country shows? Oh yeah, Dick Stacey and the Country Jamboree! Getting stoned while watching folks try to play music on that show was as good as SNL.

Remember, he pumped the gas, so your hands didn't have to!

When I was a kid in Maine, I watched a lot of teevee and that was a good deal of what I watched. Is that what's wrong with me?

My twin brother and I would watch Weird with my Dad after midnight

My favorite Eddie persona was a 3 eyed cone head called Krandal

OMFG
