Tom was 5 fucking years old, and he probably thinks he was purposefully targeted and treated unfairly. The reality is, he was probably a pants-shitting skizo, who made everyone's life impossible. He has so much in common with OPL.Romper Room? He considered being on Romper Room as the entertainment industry? In 1959? This was the earliest days of public children's educational tv. It was Basically a preschool class, only filmed. It's not like the kids were actors. They were 4 year olds doing preschool stuff. Only on TV. The kids got rotated out every few months. Romper Room was Tom's big break and he blew it so bad that he has been locked out of the entertainment industry ever since.
Lol. FFS Tom, do you ever even listen to yourself?
Full disclosure, I'm Gen X and actually remember this show. At the end, all the kids would lie down on the floor for a nap, and the teacher would get out a " magic mirror" through which she could "see" the kids watching at home. She'd throw out random names, " I see Bobby and Rebecca and I see Jonathan and Ashley..." I was always let down as my name was uncommon in the late 70's, but I knew that she was just spitballing anyway. It prepared me to be unsurprised by televangelists who claimed they could "see' viewers with heart problems, or kidney issues. Lol. Fucking Romper Room didn't get Tom blackballed, it was becoming an adult who masturbates to it.
Can you believe this was rhe face of Tom's earliest psychosexual drama. She's probably his Mary Lee Walsh.
