I’m just a little too young to have experienced Saturday Supercade…Too bad!! I was an infant when this show started airing…I didn’t get into video games until I got an NES in 1988. That began an obsession that had me watching shows like Captain N and the Super Mario Bros Super Show religiously. This is an amazing piece of history that, had I been born about 5 years earlier, I would have no doubt tuned in to!

Haha…poor old Pitfall Harry. He had one amazing adventure…and a whole bunch of sad, pathetic ones after that. This is an amazing trip back in time!

Thanks Eric, I think your Magnum podcast will happen very soon, metagirl suggests it daily. I find myself singing the Saturday Supercade song to myself in the weirdest places, which of course draws the weirdest looks.

Is it wrong for a man who is approaching 40 to get goosebumps when hearing the Saturday Supercade theme? = )

Love the podcasts. Keep up the great work. I would love to hear a Magnum PI podcast!

I remember the Supercade but I was starting to smoke pot by then so my Saturday cartoon watching suffered. Yes pot and cartoons go hand in hand but I was sleeping in late so I missed alot of the cartoons that came on earlier. I was more of a Tarzan, Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show, Spiderman and his amazing friends, Thundarr kinda guy. By the mid-eighties I had all but forgotten about cartoons. But from the early seventies to the early eighties I was a cartoon fanatic. I reffered to Saturday as Cartoonday for years.
