Lin: Getting up at some ungodly hour before anyone else was up to watch, and feeling panic when I missed an episode. Also, I think I was in love with Freddy and made up lots of stories with him as the romantic interest.

Park: The secretary's nasal voice cracked me up.

Pitlor: I remember seeking out any toy, book, piece of thread, anything really with which to occupy myself while my brother or friends watched cartoons. I remember being thrilled when I learned to change the channel myself.

Rich: I remember being so excited by the idea of a pet log that I dragged in a fallen branch from the sidewalk outside my apartment and made my mother set a place for it at the dinner table.


––What was one of your favorite storylines?

Amend: They were all the same, little kids with big noses and curly brown hair danced around a living dreidel. Can that be right? Dan Castellaneta played the adult. Yes, that’s right, Homer Simpson is Jewish.

Boudinot: I think the story I liked most was the one where they fought the bad guys, and the head bad guy said to his henchmen, "Seize him!"

Lin: Can't remember exact storylines––they were pretty much all the same anyway. But anything with the Harlem Globetrotters, or with Scrappy Doo, was always a treat.

Park: I have absolutely no memory of storylines. In fact, I don't even understand it: Why was it a dog who did kung fu? I'm sure there was a terrific backstory.
