Game Time: A complete episode of Saturday Supercade (1983)

Here's a rerun of an episode of Saturday Supercade, complete with commercials, as it aired on WCBS in New York, right before season 2. Among the commercials is a Hot Wheels spot narrated by ABC studio announcer Ernie Anderson.

Frogger: The intrepid amphibian reporter (Bob Sarlatte) and his friends face a Scooby-Doo-esque mystery involving fake aliens in "Spaced Out Frogs", penned by Paul Dini, who also wrote for He-Man back then.

Donkey Kong in "Gorilla My Dreams": The usual nonsense, with Soupy Sales as Kong.

Q-Bert heads for camp, but his serpentine nemesis, Coily, intends to crash the party in "Crazy Camp Creature". Yes, that means there's a monster loose, too.

Donkey Kong, Jr. in "Teddy Bear Scare": Junior (Frank Welker) and his pal, Bones (Bart Braverman, Vega$) are hired for a babysitting job at a carnival that gets a little complicated when they also have to catch a couple of crooks.



Rating: B.
