Wednesday, October 16, 1985

Dynasty
ALCS - Kansas City Royals def. Toronto Blue Jays 6-2

[BlackoutCreature]

What in blue hell is Bad CATS? It looks like CBS ruled the night of my birth with new episodes of The Incredible Hulk, the Dukes of Hazard and Dallas.

I found some TV clips from my birthday:



In the proud tradition of Cantisano, as I got older I got better.



Who doesn't love the Ice Capades? Even at about eight hours old I'm pretty sure I knew they were a swell night out for the whole family.




I don't think I was able to watch this at the time, as newborns are legally blind, so this one's new to me.



Much like I was the newest in home babies, The Sega Master System (1:00) was the newest in home videogames. I've always considered myself to be SEGA 4 Life, but I didn't realize that I've been such since day one.

It's neat to look back at what shows made up the lineups back then

Call me weird, but I have bought old TVGuides pretty cheap and I enjoy reading them more than what's on tv now
