Oh Carlton.....

Weren't the 80's great? I mean it gave us shows like Captain Caveman, Today's Special, and of course, who could ever forget Voltron! (A.k.a Optimus Prime's moon-lighting gig.)

Of course as kids, we gobbled this crap up like it was pure white sugar. We didn't care that the Cap'n was nothing more than a dirty, smelly old homeless guy hanging around three hot teen "angels." Seriously, I think this show was produced by a couple of weird adult industry rejects. Just check out this episode, complete with bad porn music, the station sign reads "KXXX," and the Cap'n and his crew are on the "Bunny" show. Obviously someone had a grand ol' time sending stuff way over the heads of us kids back in the 80's.

And if we thought the Cap'n was as bad as it got, lets not forget your friend and mine.... the Shmoo, I don't even really need to explain to you what all is wrong with this cartoon.....

And Today's Special? I LOVED that show as a kid. Why? I have no clue, but oddly enough a few years later I would fall in love with Kim Cattrall as she too played the inspiring role of the store Mannequin forced to live out the day in a window only to turn into a real live person at night. She was HOT, and I was a confused 8 year old. Between these two programs my sense of reality was seriously skewed enough for me to not complain as much when Mom dragged me into the clothing stores.


Anyways, all of that was just to give me an excuse to show you this clip of Cousin Carlton's commercial for his own brand of break dancing.

It's a real gem (And the Holograms.... uh oh!)


Alright, that's it, I'm done, no more 80's videos.
