I remember watching the promos for DS before it premiered but it didn't strike my fancy back then. I was 13, a big too young for it. And I wasn't into spooky stuff back then. How things change.
I had been watching Sandy Becker for years at this point. Sandy hosted a kids show in NYC and I never missed it. Until he added an obnoxious, in my opinion, teenage sidekick. I tolerated the kid for a while until one day he was lip-synching to Judy Garland. Enough of this!! I started channel surfing for something better. Well, I found it and never looked back.
And, if you're out there, Tim Moriarty, thank you!!!!!!
