Thank you msickchoo and mustangtony for your love - obviously you remember this card. Haven't watched the new movie yet waiting for the DVD. I think the old series is on Netflix. Remember how you heard the gunshot about 2 seconds after the puff of smoke? And the walls shook sometimes. It was my 3 pm secret treat before Mom came home and said "why are you watching this crap - go outside and play".
Didn't you watch it? A kinda creepy soap opera for kids - you can't be that much older than me. Anyway thank you for the comment.
I used to run home from school everyday to watch this show ! Although I have to say all these years later it's a bit campy..lol.
Very campy! I doubt I can even sit thru the remake. I think it was popular because most soap operas were for our moms and grandmothers - and this one aired later in the day when kids were getting home from school.
thank you ttomtucker for your love.
Thanks mikelv85 for your love and comment!
