All right, here's another TV show that I can't remember the name of. It also came on TBS, but it was even further back, like probably '78 or so. It was this Japanese show that featured these guys--maybe even robots--who could turn themselves into these bad-ass rocket jet plane kind of deals, and they'd fly all over the place and . . . I dunno, like fight evil or something. And there was a mountain or volcano or some shit that they lived in--Mount Olympus, maybe?!? The robot guys wore different colors, and the rocket ships they turned into were the same colors. . . . I think there were three of them--gold, red, and something else. And I think one of them was the leader and turned into the biggest rocket ship while the other ones had like rocket envy and stuff. I guess it was sort of like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but it was way before that. And it was like hardcore and shit. Does anyone remember that?!?

Transformers?

No, Transformers was after my time. Was Transformers a cartoon or live-action? The show I'm thinking of was live-action and really cheesy, like those old Godzilla movies.

Arrrggh, this has been driving me crazy for years!

You've got me all curious now.
Mazinger Z?

Damn, I thought for a minute that it could be the one, but it's animated! (Sounds like it anyway--the pictures wouldn't load for me.) I wonder if I called up Ted Turner if he could tell me what it was. :)
