Avatar Contest: "From your childhood"

[Zulu Romeo]

Thanks again to everyone who voted in the last contest.

The theme for this week is "TV shows, music, and films from your childhood". Just to clarify, we're talking about original productions and first run shows that were first released, aired, or broadcast when you were anything up to, say, 12 years old.

So, depending on the age of the entrant, we could be seeing shows from the early 60s, or films released in the last 15 years, or anything in between that was memorable when you were a kid.

And of course, no sci-fi or fantasy in this forum, but I think I can allow computer and video games for once.

I'll leave entries open until Friday night, then set up the voting thread for the weekend.

Let's see those blasts from your past for what is potentially a very interesting and fascinating avatar contest.

second one.

or slow the first down.

Slow the first one down? I had to cut a ton of frames to force it down to the ridiculously small file size allowed. The animation wouldn't be smooth.

Anyway, I prefer to second, despite the small hitch, so I'll go with that.
