Three '80s shows (original, Strikes Back, and now 3-D)...
and not a single one featured Degrassi Junior High or SCTV?!?![/i] (or when the CBC's Peter Mansbridge had hair, which was like Canada's version of when Bob Barker had dark hair)
Too bad the PYL segment failed to touch on Michael Larson, but Not Necessarily The News (the pre-pre-pre Daily Show) did get some love from the "I Love The" gang.
Oh, Sonic Whammy, you forgot Supermarket Sweep, Millionaire, and Singled Out. Match Game, Hollywood Squares, Name That Tune, Tic Tac Dough, and Joker's Wild were of course heavily ignored.
As for the kids' shows...Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Sesame Street, Captain Kangaroo, Electric Company, Barney and Friends, Mr. Wizard's World, YCDTOTV, and Reading Rainbow (they couldn't find the original opening), but
NO Today's Special,
NO 3-2-1 Contact, and
NO Square One TV!!!On the video games side, Intellivision, Colecovision, Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat , Atari, Pac-Man and Zelda were mentioned, but where the heck were Final Fantasy, Sonic The Hedgehog, and perhaps the biggest omission of them all...
SUPER MARIO BROS.?!?!Oh well, they couldn't cover everything...
