I spent the summer of 1982 doing the following things almost exclusively:
- Eating, sleeping; - Practicing or playing in the Radnor Township little league (coach Berg's Mets, sponsored by Wawa); - Watching Star Blazers on one of Philly's UHF channels.
The cartoon felt so grown-up. First kid's show I ever saw where named characters died, and in most episodes it seemed like the best you could hope for was survival for the good guys, not triumph over evil.
The entire first season of Star Blazers has been on my Netflix queue since I signed up in January of '05. I keep moving it down the list and putting it off. I'm just too frightened that it won't live up to my very, very, VERY fond memories.
Bless you, JVL. Bless you!
