RIP Kent. I remember running home from school to watch shows like Duck Tales and Tiny Toons on Fox 30 hosted by Safari Sam. I met him a few times at a local theater and he was always a really nice guy. He will be missed.

Didn't he also do the contest on his show that was more or less a video game where the callers would shoot at targets by saying "pow"?  TV Pow or something like that?  I never understood why the kids calling in didn't just rapid fire powpowpowpowpowpowpowpow... 

 

RIP

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

When was that? Cannot say I remember that.

That was back when channel 30 first came to town before they went to FOX. I remember that show distinctly.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

It was very early on in the life of the show.  It was almost like a Galaga type game that he used as a contest where they'd give away lousy prizes to the kids.
