@TheReturningShadow - I knew all that time spent watching Superfriends reruns while baby-sitting in the mid-90s would pay off. I never liked that show either.

@TheReturningShadow The 1973 Superfriends, that is.

[TheReturningShadow]

@AllisonTheSNLGuru Your are correct.

[TheReturningShadow]

@heine71 I hate to burst your bubble but Ted Knight (star of Caddyshack and the tv show Too Close For Comfort) was the narrator on the Superfriends.

I barely remember this game, "How was it played, what were the numbers for, as well as A B C D, Answer, Clear, and Yes and No, and what was everything for and how did it work?" How Many Quiz Books were there you had to collect?"

Freaking 30 year memory, before TiVo. I thought they were saying "Smog!" at the end. I had to google this today after thinking about it. I always wondered why someone would win the ultimate knowledge prize, 'Smog'. "Smarts" makes sense at least.
