I wasnt a fan of villa alegre, but , I watched all the others religiously. This was really before cable. This takes me back to the days when I was the remote. When the phone rang you didnt know who it was until you answered it. Stores had a closing time. Cartoons only came on Saturday mornings except for the specials during the Holidays.
