I went and googled around to figure out when the Sesame Street aliens radio skit was first broadcast, to see whether scared me when I was little or something. But no, it was 1979. I was 16, and (more importantly) when I was a teenager I was living beyond the range of any PBS station.

So maybe it's just Fear of Mondays.
