Coming from the bizarre realm of the 70s PBS/GRETA Dimension, I submit to RiffTrax: Write On! The TV Ontario Shorts.

Just as aci attempted to educate on reading with From Left to Right, Write On was basically a series of shorts which was supposed to educate on grammar and punctuation.

This shindig took place within a mythical newspaper building with a cranky editor, and two reporters. One of them known as Jack, was sort of a Walter Mitty type, since some of the shorts would take place in his wild imagination.

Basically it usually had the group in inexplicable situations where they would educate on common grammatical and punctuation errors and the like, with strange endings.

So why should the RiffTrax Crew take a typing stab at this shorts?

(1) The odd premise: just like in the Measuring Metric short taking place in the Old West, you'll wonder why does this series take place in a newspaper room (or if it's just a newsroom, since for the most part, they never really clarify what their purpose is, except pointing out the errors in general). But the fact you really never see them publishing, or broadcasting the news.

(2) The strange situations pertaining to the subjects. Ever wonder how you use Dracula to teach about quotation marks, or how a witch's ineptitude at casting spells stems from the proper usage of like and as? Well, this series somehow demonstrates this, and you wonder how does this actually educate you on grammar and punctuation in the first place, or how much pot did the producers at TV Ontario huff to come up with these concepts. Which leads into my third reason.

(3) As Kevin once said in From Left to Right: 'Oh, I see they made an educational film, but forgot to put in the education.' Write On! suffers from the similar problem, because although they do indicate the common grammatical and punctuation flubs, the sketches are so out there you tend to forget what exactly they were attempting to educate you on about.

Overall this has to be seen to be believed, so I've managed to locate some on YouTube and paste them up on here.

Sorry couldn't find the witch one but after you see these clips you'll agree on why RiffTrax should riff these gems... Write On!
