Flashback!

Saturday morning television from 1984. Too friggin' cool.

I'll never, ever forget Turbo Teen and Mr. T (the latter inexplicably featuring the great man as the driver/bodyguard/whatever for a teenaged gymnastics team, with a really, really annoying little "tough" kid who sounded like Katherine Hepburn). But we didn't get CBS back then (it was channel 22 on cable, and our ancient Zenith floor model only went up to 13) - so I had no idea the centerpiece of their lineup that year was a kids' show starring Richard Pryor.

Yes, a kids' show starring Richard Pryor.

(By the way, TVParty.com has a lot more great stuff like this. Send 'em US$8.45 through PayPal, and they'll give you access to the entire site for four months. And it's worth it.)
