Remember Police Squad and the Equalizer?

Police Squad was very under rated... Loved Equalizer!

Remember Soap?

(I just checked with IMDB - barely makes it into the 80's, it's run was '77 to '81)

SUPER FUZZ (AKA SUPER SNOOPER for those in the UK) Terence Hill & Ernest Borgnine were popular at the time.

[sacajaweeda]

I liked KC Munchkins better than Atari 2600 Pac-Man.

EARTH STAR VOYAGER. A lot of new actors got a good start there. Nice Sci-Fi movie too. Can't find anyone with the original 4 hour US airing. I've been looking for that (on VHS) for 15+ years. I got Secret World of OG though.

Hello,

Wasn't Michael Jackson's MOONWALKER made in the 80's???? I think I saw some of that and he had little kids in the movie. That should have sent alarms off right there!!

Hello,

I was listening to my mp3 collection this morning and something clicked again after hearing Janet Jackson's BLACK CAT song again.

Was this theme song to that live action/cartoon SUPER MARIO BROS tv show they used to have????

Or was that in the early 90's??? I can't remember but it sounds an AWFUL lot like it.....

Anyone know what I'm talking about??? Bazooka????

Kevin

Hello,

Ok I did a little yahooing and found this site:

http://www.yoshilore.com/Super_Mario_Brothers_Super_Show.php

The opening theme is a rap tune with sound effects from the video games. This may be just for the cartoon and not the opening to the live action tv show. Not sure yet.

For those interested here's some excerpt fromt the website:

Super Mario Brothers Super Show

On September, 1989, DiC Studios first aired the show "Super Mario Brothers Super Show". 52 episodes of The Super Mario Brothers Super Show were produced and shown Monday through Thursday. (On Fridays, The Legend of Zelda was shown instead.) Fifteen known videos were released from 1989-1991 in the USA by Kids Klassics; each with an episode or multiple episodes from the show, and some or no live-action. The episodes will have a thumbnail next to them if they were released in videos. You can click the thumbnails for full-sized pictures.

Cast
Mario: Lou Albano
Luigi: Danny Wells
Princess Toadstool: Jeannie Elias
Toad: John Stocker
King Koopa: Harvey Atkin

I remember the show. The site seems to only show the Mario animation. I always watched the Legend of Zelda. That was cool. the episodes were on in the mornings during some Nintendo show. Transformers and GI Joe were on before it and after was Gummi Bears and Heathcliff. Those were the days.

The Mario cartoon was okay. They had an episode with Milli Vanilli in it.

Hello,



If he was cartoonized how would be able to tell if he was lip synching or not???

Kevin

[Doramius]

They had the picture of Roy & Fab, but it was still the singing voices of someone else. They made that episode like a few month before the Grammys too.
