Didj experiment with LSD? Or maybe it was a dream... Live Oak I have been searching and cannot come up with anything.

No LSD, but I was only 10 or 11. I did experiment with pixie sticks though:D...but I clearly remember the intro to this show. I'm talking 1979-1981 approximately. I wish there was some way to look at old PBS program schedules...maybe looking at old newspapers in the library and looking in the TV listings (does the paper still do that anymore?).

I think you are on to something. I need to research something at New Orleans Magazine from 1975 or so. They have copies at the office but not on line. Maybe you can find something. I will keep asking and searching. You reminded me about a teacher I had that showed us some disturbing (at the time) PBS shows. We saw people being stoned to death and there was one with something that scared me about someone living in a cabin in the woods. I can't remember much except that it freaked me out. No LSD involved at the time.

Could it be "The Dick Francis Thriller: The Racing Game" ?

Mojo, thanks so much. I had posted the same question on another website and got the same answer. It really seems to be the likely candidate. I wish I could find the intro to the show online somewhere. You know when you have an image stored away and no context? That's what this is. Sort of like a smell that smells exactly like something from your childhood and you can't place it. The time period is exact (1979) and the subject matter seems right on. I'm curious, did you just remember this show? Where did you dredge up the title?
