So a friend referred me to a short-lived but fun game show, Now You See It, from 1989. Not directly from 1989; it made some stopovers in getting to me. But in the middle of the show came this commercial for a cereal supposedly called “S.W.Graham” and, well, here. From about 12:56 in:
This … this is somebody’s prank, right? Somebody wanted to spoof some of John Nesbitt’s Passing Parade shorts from the 40s. And their friend with the camera wanted to spoof 80s music videos and the singing-three-quarters-view-in-front-of-stuff composition? And their friend who could write just heard about Sylvester Graham and could not shut up about his food wackiness, right? And they put that together and slipped it into the only known copy of this episode. That has to be what happened, right? Because I have been trying for ao long to think of another set of events that makes this plausible, and I can’t, and now I’m running late on everything.

They’ve gone out of their way with this prank, like that time you “proved” that Frank Nelson voiced the pandas on “The Brady Kids”
Or that Popeye cartoon that used a radio ad for A&P run backwards to voice some gophers who were bugging Pops

I mean, I understand that sort of determination. These days you can find people who swear they remember watching a show called Mama Malone, pronounced to rhyme with “bologna”, when they were young and it was 1984, but who has the energy for that sort of stunt in the past half-decade?
