I loved watching the Muppet Show on Sunday night. It was a gentle reminder that the weekend was over and that I'd have to go back to school tomorrow.
I thought many of the cartoons of the late-70's and early-80's sucked. Remember the Rubik's Cube cartoon? the Pac-Man cartoon? I preferred the old Bugs Bunny or Roadrunner cartoons. I think those were the last ones that played on ABC Saturday mornings. Battle of the Planets came on weekday mornings early. I could make the spaceship out of Loc-Blocs, which was the only reason to use them instead of Legos. Did anyone else watch Battle of the Planets? Vaguely anime series with five teenagers who saved the planet and drove cool vehicles?
How 70's does that picture look, eh? I also liked Starblazers, which came on in the afternoons.
But most fun of all was the Mattel Football 2 game I had in third grade. Mattel had a bunch of handheld games with LED's (baseball, hockey, soccer). Football 2 was great because you could pass
and run. Plus, you could play it with a friend and you could easily get a full game in during recess. I was so mad when Jason stole it. He returned it to the teacher, and to this day, I am still bitter that he wasn't expelled or spanked (our school had capital punishment back then) or set upon by wolves.
