I know - I saw that one first, and burst out laughing (not a good thing, since I'm in the campus computer center...). Being a bit younger than you, I often forget details about these shows (like what on *earth* Aphrodite A's name actualy was...), so this conversation is really, really cool. I get to reminisce (now I know I'm getting old)! :-}!

Another favorite of mine was MASK (I don't remember if there were asterisks between the letters, or if I'm just confusing it with M*A*S*H). There weren't giant robots, but there were army guys with laser tanks. That was pretty cool. The primary reason I created a "laser tank" unit for Civilization II, in fact. I still remember the theme song, actually (well, the tune, anyway; I don't know that I *ever* figured out what the lyrics were...)

Okay. In the meantime, I think I'll go off about She-Ra, princess of power. This was the first time in my entire life that it actually struck me how lame political corectness can be. I was like two days old at the time. I remember thinking, mostly, "why?" I mean, there wasn't anything here that didn't fit in to He-Man's business (not that I had a huge demand for He-Man, even though Orco was pretty cool, and Man-at-Arms was "da bomb"), but, for some reason... sorry. I had a point, but I got interrupted halfway through this message and lost my thought completely. But I'll still post this in the hope that it comes back to me and I can fill it in later.
