=================== BrasscheckTV Report =================== It's one of those odd episodes in history.
Four days after John F. Kennedy was inaugurated, an Alcoa sponsored TV series introduced American television watchers to the wonder of magic mushrooms.
Here's the very popular episode from the series "One Step Beyond" which was pulled from syndication and never shown on TV again.
