When I was 2 or 3 year old our Family had a VCR. I still remember watching Popeye using VCR.

Popeye was one of my favorite shows I remember watching over and over and over again. Singing and acting it out. I also had recordings of the Pink Panther and I think one of, if not the first animated Superman movies or cartoons.

That's also an old memory you unlocked of a home video of myself maybe 3-4 ish "playing Popeye" singing "Popeye the sailor man, toot toot!" and I would take a drink from my Dad's cup pretending it was spinach and acting like my biceps popped out and then promptly sneezing in my Dad's face.

Good times.
