Perfection too because Lassie is something that would have been on at 4am in the 90s. I swear I remember Flipper being on early as well, maybe Nick at Night or a local channel.
Growing up around the time this episode aired TV shows from the 1950s/1960s were always on early in the morning. I remember watching episodes of shows like Dennis the Menace, The Little Rascals, Mr. Ed, and of course Lassie before going to school.
You mean. On nick @ nite ? When I was little they had Gilligan's island, I love lucy, Charles in charge,wings, Bewitched, leave it to beaver, Different strokes, happy days Then by my teens stuff from the 90s & 2000s like fresh prince of bell air And a different world ,everybody hates chris , George lopez ,family matters
Some shows are just used as filler rather than just having a blank section in their schedule, even that late, when someone, somewhere, might be watching. I remember when that was the case though. Remember how channels had a channel offline screen? And shutdown/startup segments?
I remember that 🤣 I dont know why, but as a kid I would sometimes wake up at like 5 or 6 in the morning on Saturdays when there wasn't school and would just watch TV until I fell asleep again. I guess my internal alarm was like "Oh shit, we're going to be late for school!!!"
Horrible, horrible memories - Waking up at 4am five days a week to work a 5am-2pm job, just to spend the rest of the day tired and going to bed at 9pm. I do not miss them days
I feel you. Coffee shop, had to be there to open the store, be ready for the rush of people on their way to work at 7am. Couldn't just be barely awake at 5am, had to be rolling and on the ball.
The choice of a stuffed pepper, for a realistic but comically-unappetizing leftover to imagine eating for a 4am breakfast, is one of those little precision bits of genius the show was made of.
@@alialiyev6168 Ew no the stuffing is always disproportionate to whatever it's encased in, I might as well just eat sauces right out of the can. I'd rather just spread it on bread for evenness.
I feel like they'd just pre-record it, same as they do for TV. For too long I thought there was just some unlucky soul who had to stay awake watching late-night TV just to announce what was on next and be in control of the advert breaks.
He has to wake up at 3 or else he won't make it to work on time. Or he did like I did when I worked evening and night shifts: Wake Up, Free Time, Work, sleep rather than the usual Work as the first thing you do day shift workers do.
I think reporters prerecord segments from the 11pm news for the 4am news unless there’s something happening, like a riot, overnight. Technically, the morning news is about weather and traffic reports.
Idk why but if my mom is awoken between the hours of 12-5 AM she becomes a blind deaf zombie who thinks the world is about to end. I think tired parents enter another dimension of sleep lol
Manjela: Apu, it's 4:00 a.m. You're late for work. Apu: I just had the most beautiful dream where I died. Manjela: Oh, no, you don't. Not till they're out of college. Apu: Listen, I'll die when I want to.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure people were as worried about things like that back then. I wasn't around but I've seen others say that.
@@billylardner I was a child when this came out but based on what I know its accurate. Incidents probably did happen as much or more often then they do now but it was generally kept quiet. However since even the tiniest bit of news is much easier to convey as well as the media figuring out that those type of stories got ratings people became far more aware of the dark intentions of a small number of people and less trusting of so called authority figures.
Reminds me of when I used to work truck shifts--had to be in at 5 am 3 days a week, and 3 am two days a week. Every time the alarm would go off at 2:00 AM, I'd just mutter, "Goddammit."
Makes me feel all cozy watching this. Only if I'm not getting up early. Plus I listen to a radio show often which starts a 4am! but i download that later on
Somewhere out there is a radio presenter and early morning news reader who has recalled this scene and fought the temptation to deliver the same speech.
Just wanted to tell you all that there is a youtube channel called " The Bootleg Boy", which posts nothing but lofi, chill beats, and music. My personal favorite is the "No Sleep" video, with this frame of Bart at 0:09. I'm so glad I found this scene, because not only did I finally found the origin of this infamous frame, but it reminded me of how much I love lofi, and how it helped me, especially those nights where I have to stay up late just to study or finish a project. I've listened to a lot of lofi collections, to the point that I'm slowly becoming invested on wanting to watch The Simpsons.
There’s a station in my area that plays almost exactly what Bart heard when he woke up. Same soft voice. “This is Tony King bringing you another hour sleepy time sax with Froggy and the Jumpers”
Top of the hour and time for the morning news - of course there IS no news yet - everyone's still asleep in their comfy, COMFY beds! Good night everybody!
God, this is why I now refuse to take any job that requires an earlier wake up than 6:30am. Worked at a food warehouse for a summer. 4am wakeup, 5:30 start, fast paced physical labour for nine hours, back home, too tired to do anything, microwave dinner, asleep, rinse and repeat. Never. Again.
I worked at an IKEA distribution warehouse for a while, years back, and my shift was 4:30am - 2pm. Having to get up at 3:30 in the morning felt just like this, ugh!
What? that's tough man 2 am till you went home? Hoped you got paid more than $200 for that. I'm not familiar with this salary on your country but on my place we gave em 8pm-12am for only equivalent to $70 a months yeah.. that long for only $70
OMG, I never even knew about the breakfast and the pets watching TV. Both of those must've been cut when I watched this episode. Thirty years later, I'm seeing it for the first time.
If you don't remember a scene, 99.99% it was cut for syndication. One example of an exception is a scene that was removed because it was only created to enable the episode to meet the "educational content" minimums that existed at the time for animated content (Bart's lecture on heritage at the end of "The Telltale Head:)
If pets could really do that, I could definitely see cats doing that! Being nocturnal means that four in the morning to us would be four in the afternoon for them.
