       | was huge business around town. Most of my childhood friends
       | managed to be on TV for "Popeye and Pals," a studio show where
       | they'd show Popeye cartoons in between interview segments with
       | the kids in the audience who were all busy munching down on 2
       | piece boxes of fried chicken.

       | intense it was compared to other 8-bit offerings
