Because in my area, it was only seen in syndicated Banana Splits reruns, so the order was totally scrambled and nothing made any sense at all, it was almost totally incoherent, the only intelligent bits being recurring outbursts like "Oh no! The Skeleton Men!" or (of course) "Uh oh, Chongo!".<BR/>Though I strongly suspect that this may have been an improvement.Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-8277997123662138402008-04-15T18:05:00.000-05:002008-04-15T18:05:00.000-05:00You forget though that in the cases of American Gl...You forget though that in the cases of <I>American Gladiators</I> and <I>Batman</I> there are/were equally strong female presences sure to stroke the fires of any latent heterosexual. I know the only reason I chose to occasionally stop on <I>AG</I> during my nocturnal flippings was because I was intrigued by the buff yet womanly figures of Crush, Fury and Siren (I am assuming those are not their real names). I have to admit that the sight of Helga inspired more fear than admiration and--having watched the clip you just linked to--I can now see why they never allowed her to speak in front of the camera.<BR/><BR/>And, of course, when it comes to <I>Batman</I>, the sight of Yvonne Craig in skintight lycra was almost as devastating as the sight of her in green body paint. <BR/><BR/>Anyone who regularly visits this site and doesn't immediately get the above reference is hereby ordered to turn in their Badge of Geekery.<BR/><BR/>It has been revoked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-87586218979549025572008-04-15T12:46:00.000-05:002008-04-15T12:46:00.000-05:00It was Johnny Thunder's naked thunderbolt that alm...It was Johnny Thunder's naked thunderbolt that almost did it to me.
