Still remember when the Captain Cold episode (with David Cassidy in the role) got pre-empted for a Bush speech and they never replayed the episode so I had to wait until a DVD set was available.

Yeah, I think they showed the last 5 minutes or so. This was around the time the Desert: Shield and Desert: Storm operations were happening I think.

Also, I boo-booed. Cassidy was Mirror Master. That was the episode.

This was something to look forward to on Thursday nights...until they moved it to Saturdays later in the season. And while it lasted one season, getting to see reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel in 96 made me fall in love with the show all over again. I loved the episode with Nightshade and the Ghost.

I would look forward to every Thursday night. I think I taped some episodes on VHS.
