It Should've Been on a Saturday: Real Kids (1982)

 Ya might say "Messy Marvin" cleaned up.

Peter Billingsley, who played Marvin in those Hershey's chocolate syrup commercials, parlayed those ads into a recurring gig as a junior contributor to Real People, which, in turn, led to a 2-week miniseries, Real Kids, in 1982. We're assuming these specials aired on Sunday nights, as the familiar bumper, "We'll return after these messages", is being used on this show.

Peter serves as co-host and announcer, and is the only one of the group still active today. Legendary Mad Magazine artist Sergio Aragones, who would later contribute to TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes, is on site doing some illustrations.

The following clip is the only existing one from the series, and comes from co-host Karissa Noel's YouTube channel. People co-host Sarah Purcell introduces the show.

No rating. Didn't see either episode.
