My first ever exposure to 'Sport Billy' was on weekday afternoons when it aired locally on WBFF-TV, channel 45 in Baltimore. A few years later it briefly resurfaced on the now-defunct USA Cartoon Express sometime between the years of 1985 and 1987; IIRC, 'Sport Billy' aired there on Monday afternoons, paired with 'The Space Kidettes'.<br /><br />Never knew the show was originally marketed for European audiences; that would explain the frequent allusions to soccer, or futbol.Silverstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280038939450999273noreply@blogger.com
