Best Episode Ever 25 - The Soft Drink Soft Sell

We remember retro commericals like theme songs. Especially as the target audience for many of these ads, we were subjects to the catchy tunes and the memorable characters that were constructed solely to pitch us soft drinks as children.

From chocolate milk to "fruit" drinks to pop of all kinds, the commercials I watched while growing up are still stuck in my head.

Best Episode Ever 17 - Scooby Doo

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now.
Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now.

Come on, Scooby Doo, I see you pretending you got a sliver.
But you're not foolin' me, cause I can see the way you shake and shiver.

You know we got a mystery to solve and Scooby Doo be ready for your act. Don't hold back!
And Scooby Doo if you come through you're gonna have yourself a Scooby Snack!

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? You're ready and you're willing.
If we can count on you Scooby Doo, I know you'll catch that villian.

Best Episode Ever 14 - Chico And The Man

Chico, don't be discouraged, 
The Man he ain't so hard to understand. 
Chico, if you try now, 
I know that you can lend a helping hand. 

Because there's good in everyone 
And a new day has begun 
You can see the morning sun if you try. 

And I know, things will be better 
Oh yes they will for Chico and the Man 
Yes they will for Chico and the Man.

Best Episode Ever 12 - The Incredible Hulk

"Dr. David Banner: physician; scientist. Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry. And now when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter. The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. David Banner is believed to be dead, and he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him."

Best Episode Ever 10 - Six Million Dollar Man

"Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

What else needs to be said... oh, except for Bigfoot, The Death Probe, The Bionic Woman, and Oscar Goldman... I'm drowning in nostalgic bliss.
