I remember spending plenty of time as a child watching a lot the shows listed in the tv section. Even shows from the 70s like Hanna Barbara's original Tom and Jerry and Spiderman.

Great website!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I read the article about Street Fighters. Best game ever!
 
Yeah, amazing, I think I watched all of those shows...even Wonder Woman. It was one of my favorites at the time, and I wanted bracelets just like she had to deflect bullets. :biggrin: It was on Friday nights, right after The Muppet Show. Usually, my bedtime was when The Muppet Show ended, but since Wonder Woman was on Friday nights, I was allowed to stay up the extra hour to watch that before bed. :smile:
 
:cry: I miss the Shmoo! :cry:

Come back, Shmoo!
