Time and Time Again

In 1972, when made-for-TV movies were a big trend, WGBH in Boston produced one of it own. The delightfully clever and quirky Between Time and Timbuktu was based on the writings of Kurt Vonnegut.

As a young Vonnegut fan, the timing was perfect for me, especially after attending the 1971 World Science Fiction Convention in Boston. YouTube finally has a halfway decent copy of Between Time and Timbuktu

Bob and Ray, who began their career in Boston, provide hilarious commentary. The joke about Tang will be lost on younger viewers.
