Those of you who miss quality programming like this, raise your hand.

God, this takes me back. I use to love the Afterschool Specials. My sister & I would run home on the day we knew they were coming on. I think they usually happen on Wednesdays. Youtube is so cool!

In the 1970s & 80s, hitchhiking posed a serious threat to America's youth. It was up there with drug abuse, pregnancy, and suicide. Thus the need for programs such as this 1983 Afterschool Special. These lessons may have spared many lives and traumas. To dumb down the subject matter so that all children got the point, parents (and most adults) were turned into total f***ing a-holes in these specials. Oh, and just the right music was on cue to tap emotions.

you know what this movie does? reiterates how stupid teenagers are...as long as it took them to get from one place to another, they could have waited on the bus. lol! (seriously, no offense to the teens out there, but you've got to admit that was pretty stupid. besides, i was a teen once too and boy did i make a mountain of mistakes. i'm still paying for some of them.) i think i will make my 15 year old watch this film, at times, she can be too carefree.

@write2ap I did too. I have looked for two on here especially but can't find them. One is titled One Last Ride about a rodeo rider. The other is High School Narc.

@scumgod13 - networks wouldn't pay the writers, actors, and everything else needed for this kind of production.

[dweebcentric]

@Juliaflo - well, educational and purposeful programming anyways.

The ABC Afterschool Specials sure take me back to when I was in elementary school.I watched a lot of them and always looked forward to them on Wednesdays after General Hospital.
