    I had to do some googling. I just want you to know all of you raising your hands are old, and to bring it back to me Fran Tarkington was Damn Good Dawg.

    To be fair (to me at least), I was only a kid when that show aired, you impertinent whippersnapper.

    I was toddling around learning how to be a good neighbor from Mr. Rogers, that cookies are an acceptable food for all blue monsters, and it is not easy when you are green, while you guys were oogling Fran Tarkington's cohost.

    edit: I was also learning Ric Flair is the greatest wrestler ever, Horseman 4 Life

    He won a national championship with my beloved university and I'm a terrible speller. I zoned out of the letters part of PBS ok.

    Adult. Not thirteen and hopped up on the hormones. (I must be the only one that doesn't find these funny. Sorry, carry on...) :)

    Well, they were practically the same show, the biggest difference being That's Incredible! had like 25 fewer hosts than Real People.

    Could be. My recollection was that Real People was more human interest. The segment I was in was a feature on a college professor that lost a leg to a German half track during WWII and want on to be a really amazing soccer player and coach.

    That's Incredible was more Monty Pythons 'And Now For Something Completely Different' ... A Man That Catches Arrows With ... His Teeth (Eyelashes/Buttocks/etc)!

    The only segment I remember from Real People was the one on the lady who ate dirt.

    All I remember about Real People was a guy named Skip Stevenson, a girl named Sarah Purcell (sp?) and Peter Billingsley (Ralphie from A Christmas Story) were hosts/emcees.

    I remember this episode about a guy who had cancer, who built this boat out of reeds, and circumnavigated the world. By the time they presented the episode, the man had died. I remember Sarah Purcell choking up at the end of the episode.

    The worst part of TV back then was when the small mammoth we used as a vacuum cleaner would accidentally suck up the small bird who lived in our remote control and would fly out to change the channel.

    Robocop (the most recent one) is a surprisingly good movie. I highly recommend it.
