1980's SMHRS Build-The-Excitement Poll #2 - MULTITASKING

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Our last Hype Poll showed some pretty promising results! Despite our ages being ALL OVER THE PLACE, it was agreed that the "Golden Age" of 1980's cartoons was in fact the 1985 - 1986 season! That's awesome!

Today, in preparation for our next Watch-Along (which is THIS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 AT 7AM), let's talk about one of the hidden benefits of adolescent developmental television binging - The ability to Multitask!

It is my belief that our secondary viewing habits of our childhoods developed the enviable ability to perform multiple tasks at once.

Painting minis for gaming with my brother took a big stage, if we weren't dorking around with He-Man, GI Joe and/or Star Wars figures.

(Maybe the fumes helped make the years more ~mystical, LOL.)

I didn't start the mini-painting till... hmm. I guess, yeah, right around '86 - '87! I remember that part of what put me at ease for accepting D&D (since I had been raised in a "Rock-N-Roll, D&D and Sexy TV are the work of The Devil" Catholic environment) was that the Game Shop I was introduced to had a full set of the YA Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon novelizations for sale :) I remember painting my first set - "Basic Heroes" I think it was called - while watching the cartoon and wondering which character on the show was which character in my box :)

I had completely forgotten that! Thanks!
