I thing WW, the TV show, was popular with guys for other reasons and CA's,kinda sorta invented Jiggle TV.<br /><br />A footnote to older Barbies ... the older ones (maybe all of them, I don't know) breakdown - the plastic gets soft, mushy and deteriorates. Apparently, there's a shelf life to many of the 70-80s toys, especially things like Pretty Ponies, Strawberry Shortcake ... and certain Barbies.<br /><br />The hard plastic toys, such as the Star Wars figures, seem to be more chemically stable.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-49394345811850855372014-03-10T15:33:57.778+01:002014-03-10T15:33:57.778+01:00Again I agree with you!
