Everybody Hates Chris
This episode was about my two favorite childhood things: video games and candy. Back in the '80s, I'd chug Pop Rocks as I played Pong on my Atari 800 while wearing my homemade Star Trek uniform.

The series became an unlikely subject for controversy when, in 1998, Rev. Jerry Falwell criticized it for promoting a `gay agenda' by having one character carry a bag that resembled a purse. That storm passed quickly, and the show's continued success prompted Wood to create another children's series, `Boobah.'
