Jot



I remember watchin' "Jot" on Sunday mornings when I was real little before going to church with Mama, and I love the memory.

As a late teen and into my earliest 20s, I seriously looked at the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission, which produced "Jot" starting in the mid-1960s, as a potential employer.

And now, I watch this and think: OMG. How did I make it out without a guilt complex as big as Noah's ark? Wow.

So did I.
 
Wow! That brings back memories...and explains a lot. Abomination means "dislikes"? Really? They used the word abomination in a kid's cartoon?
 
Amazingly heavy handed for something aimed at preschoolers! Between the '60s psychedelic stuff and the big scary letters, it probably gave kids nightmares. Which was probably the point.

But I love the multisyllabic "ma'yam"s. :-)
