It’s the Tuesday This-or-That<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Sesame Street or Captain Kangaroo?<\/b> Sesame Street was, I am afraid to admit it, just after my time (though I thought the Electric Company was cool). The Captain, on the other hand, was great, and I thought the ping pong balls bit was tremendously funny as a kid.<\/p>\n

2. Muppet Show or Fraggle Rock?<\/b> The Muppet Show, definitely. They had some amazing guests.<\/p>\n

3. He-Man or Jem?<\/b> Never watched Jem. Tried to avoid watching He-Man (though I understand that there’s a new rendition coming out, and it at least looks <\/i>halfway decent).<\/p>\n

4. The Smurfs or Muppet Babies? <\/b> Can I just shoot myself instead?<\/p>\n

5. Archie or Josie & the Pussycats?<\/b> I can sing both theme songs. Does that help? Hrm. Probably Josie.<\/p>\n

6. H.R. Pufnstuf or The Banana Splits?<\/b> Both were on opposite something else I wanted to watch, so I never watched either of them nearly enough. The Banana Splits is certainly more watchable today, and I loved all those little featurettes. Uh-oh, Chongo!<\/i><\/p>\n

7. The Partridge Family or The Brady Bunch?<\/b> Definitely the Brady’s. The Partridge’s always seemed kind of stupid to me. The Brady Bunch, on the other hand, was the definition of what family life should be like.<\/p>\n

8. Happy Days or Welcome Back Kotter?<\/b> Happy Days, until it “jumped the shark.” I never got much into Kotter, though I used to be able to do a great Arnold Horschak imitation. Who’d’ve thought that Vinnie Barbarino would be the one to go on to big bucks fame?<\/p>\n

9. Punky Brewster or Small Wonder?<\/b> See #4.<\/p>\n

10. The Facts of Life or Silver Spoons?<\/b> Facts was great, at least for a while. And the opening exterior school sequences in the first few seasons were filmed at my dorm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
