Of course, few people know there was an "interurban era" between the horse 
and buggy /local steam "milk train" and the Model T.

J.J. Sedelmaier tried to get the Hysterical Channel to do something on 
interubans, but was told there would be little or no interest.

The Hysterical Channel also uses a lot of "stock footage" to illustrate 
general ideas. Their format seems to have shifted from showing Adolf Hitler 
in every other show to "reality television" soap operas.
