Unfortunately not. I don't recall seeing anything like that on the 13 channels of VHF that we got. I was horribly deprived of anything other than books growing up. TV mainly consisted of reruns of I Love Lucy, Charlie Chaplin, Knight Rider, MacGuyver, Miami Vice, Dallas and Teddy Ruxpin. Music mainly consisted or Bach, Beethoven, Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers and Debussy. We had a giant Zenith LP stereo/radio/big fucking cabinet.

Interestingly enough, The Ventures are still major stars there also and do tours there to this day.

I did not know that. That's pretty badass! I did a quick research and found out that he did the soundtrack to the TV show Zatoichi. I remember seeing
those as a kid. I had no idea that he did all that stuff; It's quite amazing!
