We'll return after the break...

These infernal snowman hand puppets were a deviously effective bait and switch tactic used on gullible Philly area kids in the 70s and 80s to pause the dial on the big wooden box for a minute or two, only to find they'd ended up on the wholesome, family friendly Al Alberts Showcase instead of what they were really searching the high frequency television aether for: kiddie TV crack like The Herculoids, Land of the Lost, or Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster.

Here's a commercial for "the mark of... Quality", Frosty Acres frozen foods.

Enjoy!
