... with the Ghostbusters and still look to The Goonies for a great adventure. We flip through T.V. stations and stop at The A Team and Knight Rider and Fame and laugh with The Cosby Show and Family Ties and Punky Brewster and what you talkin' 'bout Willis? We hold strong affections for The Muppets and The Gummy Bears and why did they take the SMURFS off the air? After school specials were only about cigarettes and stepfamilies, the Pokka Dot Door was nothing like Barney, and aren't the Power Rangers just Voltron reincarnated?
