Saturday Morning Time Machine

It’s time to run through our perfect lineup for 1982. At 8:00AM we’ve got the Super Friends on ABC, followed by Shirt Tales on NBC at 8:30. Will we regret that we voted for either of these shows? Will guest Joe Kociuba think we’ve started to lose it? Will Rich remember not to mix up Wonder Woman and Supergirl? Find out this week!

It’s Easter (sort of) so we are staying in 1982 and looking at two Easter specials from that year. 11:30 to 12:00PM timeslot. First from NBC we have The Smurf Springtime Special, then we watch CBS’s A Family Circus Easter. Two specials that aired against each other on April 8, 1982 and couldn’t be more polar opposite.
