musings a go go

When I was little, there was Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theater (not like how it is today), but with audioanimatronic singers. Chuck E. was a rat and looked a lot different from the mouse he is today. Also, there was Showbiz with their "Rockafire Explosion" band of audioanimatronic characters. All of these characters scared me to death especially when they were finished with their act and would twitch and blink their eyes while winding down. Here are two disturbing examples of these "bands", one an early Chuck E. Cheese franchise pitch with everything it offered in the early days and one of the Showtime Pizza crew "performing" a relatively current song. Please enjoy and wonder why kids in the 80s didn't develop PTSD from all this nonsense...
