And Doug and Emmy-Jo-every days a different show.

Does anyone else remember having to get up really early for this show? I think when I watched it-it was on like 5:30am-some early time!

Well, needless to say, that's exactly what happened (several times....) once we were given the opportunity to move the box off of the TV..........
OMG my dad was like that too. It was like you were handling fine china or something

I remember now-it was Tennesee Tuxedo. It took a while to pull it out of my brain.

Remember that show on Saturday mornings called "Land of the Lost"? My wife got it as a gag gift the other day from her brother. We proceeded to subject ourselves to that DVD, and after about an episode and a half, I couldn't take it anymore. Here's a bit of really useless trivia about the show (for all you NBA fans): the main protagonists in the show the "Sleestaks" one of the actors in the costume was a teenaged Bill Laimbeer, of Detroit Pistons 'bad boys' fame.
