I grew up in Belmont (midway between SF and SJ and lemme tell you, in 1999 my mom sold my childhood house for a LOT of fucking money) and I totally remember that show!
And yeah, I loved it. Spill it; what was your segment?
One of my favorite shows was TV POW! It was this video game that you played live on the air via phone with this host dude (he had a golden combover...Pat something? McCormack?) You'd send in your entry to KTVU Channel 2 and if they picked your name you got on the phone and said POW! POW! POW! on the phone and this pong-style video game shot live onscreen when you said POW! and well, it was pretty fucking cool for 1980, ok?
hell yeah

Love the memory lane. Thank you.
