It's fascinating to see a talk show aimed at kids that presents things to them as if they are actual real, thinking, human beings able to comprehended real issues and thoughts. Must have been a neat time to be alive.

[@Lagzatzappateers]

Thanks for you comments. Real issue indeeds, not the mindless shows that are presented these days.

[@johnsorrelw849]

Yeah, it was a really great interview and i loved the kids questions. I wonder what conversation that boy who asked about kids swearing had with his parents that night.

[@claudegagnon999]

@@johnsorrelw849 Yep!

[@texasd1385]

Yep it was, but of the little but of tv there was most of it was trash lol

[@mayuka150]

What a trip to see this on Nickelodeon.

[@warrenwightman4413]

You know what ...after Frank tries to convey common sense to all the young people in the audience ,he then goes home and puts the finishing touches to Thingfish. What a fabulous guy

[@RonHeusdens]

indeed, very one of a kind!

[@AlanBerry]

I can’t believe that was on a kids show.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Yeah Nickelodeon doesn't do that anymore. They just go straight to raping them.

[@davidzieglmeier1020]

A better tv experience than 99,9% of todays "serious" talks...

[@user-ik4xq9hm1x]

This is the Nickelodeon I remember. Early 80’s Nickelodeon was amazing

[@claudegagnon999]

So Cool with the kids...and what a charming daughter Moon is!

[@jacobscardino4330]

Being a child of the Nickelodeon generation, my mind has been blown today finding on that Zappa was on nickeloden in the 80’s, AND THEY PLAYED “YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS”! My how things have changed, I could just imagine executives getting fired if that aired on that channel today and #cancelnickeloden trending 😂😂😂

[@theotherther1]

Dweezil was involved with Nickelodeon as well.

[@maximusprime3459]

Wow. Livewire is a straight up THROWBACK!!😅😂Fred Newman is so underrated.

[@odiumimbues]

moon is like the dream daughter. what a cool thing to look at and be like "YA I MADE THAT"

[@Dr.Tinkerpaw]

40 years later and still relevant.

[@opaljk4835]

This guys kind of a good interview conductor

[@jstevenj1]

Who misses Frank more than I do?

[@paultaylor914]

Been a Zappa freak since early 70s. It's a treat to find all these videos from the 80s when I didn't watch TV. I still miss Frank.

[@Lagzatzappateers]

Glad you liked it.

[@lizardfirefighter110]

Both a class act!

[@AlanBerry]

Cleanest copy of the video of Your are what you is I’ve ever seen. Thanks!

[@Lagzatzappateers]

Cool! Thanks Alan!

[@elmobolan4274]

I like how we all dressed very modestly back then AND it was cool!!! 57yrs old....

[@meyerj75]

If MTV couldn't play "You Are What You Is", then why not Nickelodeon as long as it's canvased on "Livewire"? 😄😄

[@JimmyYahteez]

An actual great interview!

[@davidripley2916]

If Frank was still here, he would kick the crap out of Cancel Culture for sure. 🎶🎵🎸

[@clumsiii]

play at 0.75 speed for roots reggae

[@AmadeuCarvalho-ug7hn]

If we teach the children well will BE a better world 💐

[@TucumcariTimmy]

OOOOPS! my fault. audio is good.

[@unkolawdio]

[@TheRooster1988]

Moon i was hot for her when i was younger and now she is a hotty to me. And i am a dork. Cute.

[@TucumcariTimmy]

[@DWHarper62]
