I once played the theme from Super Chicken on youtube... now my daughter and I have an inside joke. I still can't believe that "The Banana Splits" and "Lancelot Link" were ever popular. Captain Caveman? Yikes.

[Bob Loblaw]

Hey I loved the banana splits. Danger island and gulliver and what was the other one?

My friends and I all dug the monkeys too, by then in syndicated reruns. Banana seat bikes, the ice cream man, staying outside till dark...what a great time to be a kid.

Maybe someone local will remember this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNgecUK3SJA&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL6A2946A799C4E961). Just after the curtain call the screen went to static.

Did you have a local station that signed off in a fun way?

That one pre-dates me, though I grew up in Sacramento.

Will hurry up and rescue you

The Bionic Woman (I would still marry Jamie Sommers I don't care how old she is).

Then in 1980, age 10, I got serious and started to watch CNN because of Ronald Reagan.

But I never let go of my inner-cartoon child. :)
