My brother and I used to parody 'Speed' (not to
mention Spritle, Trixie and Chim-chim); he also got
pretty good at 'badly dubbed speech' aka Ultraman -
oh, that was sooo bad!

Other after-school TV fare: Gilligan's Island (I can
still sing the song), Leave it to Beaver (my youngest
brother was nick-named "Beave" by his friends when
they came to our house after school to find that Mom
had just finished a batch of homemade cookies and was
washing the windows, with her hair done up in a scarf
- she naturally was afterward referred to as " Mz.
Cleaver"), and of course The Flintstones... 

But I Swear I _Did_ Have A Life Maru
