I used to watch some shows that I am embarrassed to even mention but here it one for now:

Shazam - OMG, if you don't know what this is, be thankful. This came on around 1975, the guy (he was abt 16) on the show would turn into this superhero SHAZAM by just saying the word SHAZAM. He traveled around with this old man in a mobile camper. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. That combination of those two would definitely raise eyebrows in this day and age. As a matter of fact, the guy who played this superhero is the same actor who played Marcia's boyfriend on the Brady Bunch. He was upset at Marcia working and never having time for him so he took another girl to the ice cream shop where Marcia got mad and sprayed whipped cream on them.

In the early '80's it was Smurfs and Snorks.

Then I graduated too D&D<great show.

Muppet Babies, WWF, TMNT, ABC Looney Tunes Hour, Dennis the Menace, Ghostbusters, Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget

There was a show I can't think of the name, but it was a cartoon with Wayne Gretzky, Hulk Hogan, and I think Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan. It might of only lasted one season.

Pee Wee's Playhouse - If I knew I wasn't going to be home when it was on I would tape it. This one might have been my favorite.

I think that might have been called "All-American Heroes," or something like that. I have vague memories of that show.

Yeah it was called "Prostars". I never would have remembered that one. It ran in 1991 and had Gretzky, Jordan and Jackson.

I thought the show was okay for its time. Isis, another live action-type hero(ine) show at that same time, was hotter. :grineyes: She was a teacher who gained heroic powers by chanting "Oh mighty Isis" while wearing a magic amulet.

Originally, I'm from Stamford, CT. We were close enough to NYC to get all their stations. Yes, Joya was on Fridays. I always liked Seymour, I can't remember what animal he was supposed to be.

Channel 5 was always my favorite for cartoons and Brady Bunch reruns.
