The single greatest thing ever on television. This clip changed my life and I would not be who I am today had I not seen this as a toddler in 1983 and then many times until the early 90s.Otherwise I have to admit that I dislike television. It's not that I have a problem with TV - it's simply the most bland waste of time on the planet and possibly the pinnacle of passivity. It's more or less intolerable and should be avoided at all costs (except the History Channel, and baseball games).
