Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

i watched it religiously when i was in high school (a/k/a still living with the parents)
years later, pbs ran the series late at night (late 1980s? i was working nights, and would watch it when i got home -- along with "Rock School"!)
and, yes, i remember those ads with Rula Lenska! i vaguely remember her in some films too

(and nah, being vegan is not really expensive -- for me, it came out of activism, an ethical thing -- a long time ago, when a lot of us were broke but hellbent -- not a fancy lifestyle -- you know, like all these "plant based" types who still wear fur coats -- grrr!)
