The
other day I received an IM on Facebook from my friend Andrew. He asked if I
could help me him remember the name of a show which aired on Nickelodeon in the
1980’s. I wasn’t able to help him but I thought maybe some of you could. Here
is a copy of the conversation we had. If you know the name of this show please
post it in the comments below.
Thank
you in advance,

Hey
Peggy Sue, I'm trying to remember the name of this Nick show perhaps you could
help me with.

I
can try. Whatcha got?
Andrew – 1/26, 9:38pm
I can’t
remember the name of it I just remember it was about a bunch of urban street
kids hanging out trying alcohol, running from gangs who beat up some kids
grandpa there’s a dead cat in it that eats a spoiled sandwich it was kind of a
creepy show for kids the main characters were this young black woman and this
nerdy young kid with glasses

How
old are you? I'm asking for a reason.
Andrew – 1/26, 9:43pm
38

hummm,
7 years younger than me. I don't remember that as a SD. I asked for your age
thinking that it may have been something that aired in the 90's which would be
after my time.
Andrew – 1/26, 9:44pm
It
was early 80s era

Well,
it could have been an after school special. In December I went thought the list
of SD titles that I had and saved all the links to post to my blog as Classic
Nickelodeon Special Deliveries. What I discovered was that a couple of titles
that I had listed were not SD they were after school specials. But don't give
up hope b/c there is still a chance that we can find the title.
I
should have access to my Word program tomorrow (have to go buy ANOTHER code for
it - I'm seriously pissed about that) Anyway, on Wednesday I will post a
special blog asking for the title to this program with the clues you've given
me. Surely someone out there would know what it is.

The
kid blows a horn to alert his friends to arrest the gang that beat up his
grandpa that's the last clue I can remember.
"PowerHouse"
ReplyDeleteI remember the episode where the cat ate the poisoned sandwich, too!
The name of the show is "PowerHouse."

Is there an echo in here?
ReplyDeleteI have to learn to be more patient, patient, patient....
No that’s my fault, I've been so busy I haven't had the time to approve comments so I just did that today.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your hard work, Peggy Sue!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I really needed to hear that. :)
