also Ninjas have never been more popular..this can't miss :




There were actually quite a few skits I liked on this show, but there were some losers too. The intro might have caused my brother's epilepsy. Yeah not the 80's really, but was from my childhood.

Wasn't a huge fan of this, but I usually watched it.




However, I was and still am a fan of this.

All good people are asleep and dreaming.
Isis, had to watch Isis before chopping wood on Saturday's.
I liked Isis better when it was Wonder Woman.



I had to chop some wood afterwards, sometimes during if I could get away with it.



One of the best theme songs of all time.
