Yea I remember - tehm ABC - after school specials were awesome. and they ususally pictured some kids and stuff that were up and coming stars- Leaf or now he is know as Joaquin Phoenix was in one that I remember and Grant Show was in another- he was a knight on horse.. (I think- seriously that'slike so far back. lol) wow- nostalgia!

wow, I jsut looked it up .. lol you got me going- I remembered the one with Leaf (sorry I will always think of him as that) as him being dyslexic and sure enough I found it.. it was an after school special called Backwards: the riddle of dyslexia. in 1984!
thanks now you made me feel old too.! lol

I don't specifically remember those programs, but I do remember doing a lot of research on those exact topics, and finding programs about those things to further my education. I may have watched a number of after school specials and not even realized that that is what they were. LOL
