Breakfast Time: America's Forgotten Morning Show

In 1994, a brand-new basic cable channel called fX brought the world a revolutionary take on the American morning show. Breakfast Time was live, loose, and phenomenal. Join me in this video as I gush over this critically underappreciated gem, which featured Tom Bergeron, Laurie Hibberd (now Gelman), and a puppet named Bob. My special thanks to Rob St. Clair for digitizing and uploading his outstanding archive of Breakfast Time episodes. Rob, if you're out there, thanks for giving me the chance to experience this show. This video wouldn't have been possible without you. 0:00 Intro 2:09 Background 4:14 fX: TV Made Fresh Daily 10:23 Breakfast Time Development 13:32 What Made Breakfast Time Great 36:36 Ratings and Critical Reception 40:09 Teaser Corrections and notes will be published as they come to my attention at this webpage: www.connro.com/corrections
