Gahhh, flashback! Does anyone remember a show on TBS in the early '80s that featured people playing video games against one another?! Pengo, Sinistar, Defender, Frogger, Time Pilot, all that shit. I used to watch that show all the time!

hmmm I dunno, that doesn't sound familiar but I could be wrong.
I think we viewed it on WPIX, I'm almost positive.
Pete may know, I think we talked about that show before actually.

bahahaha
I actually was thinking of both games combined as one strangely, like during the commercials I thought they let viwers "play along" weird.

did you ever watch "I'm Telling" on NBC I think it was?
it had 3 or 4 groups of siblings who would tell secrets about the other one and whoever won got to go pick out toys and shit. it was kick ass.

Oh, man--at first it only seemed vaguely familiar, but I'm remembering it now! It was almost like The Newlywed Game, except for kids . . . :)

Shuddup! I actually got very good TV reception by hooking up my digital watch to a CB radio, thank you very much! "Hee Haw" came in quite nicely.
