You know that you're old school if you can....

The cast of Fridays also featured Melanie Chartoff, who, if I recall correctly, was one of George's girlfriends on Seinfield (either the one where he eats the eclair out of the garbage or the one where he goes to the kids birthday party and knocks everyone out of the way escaping the fire).

Fridays also featured Andy Kaufman in its later seasons. The infamous incident where Kaufman went out of character in the middle of a sketch and got in a fight with the crew occurred on the show. Michael Richards was also in that same sketch.
There was a great Andy Kaufman tribute on NBC around '94-'95 (several years before Jim Carrey made Man In the Moon) that featured most of the classic Kaufman TV moments including the aforementioned Fridays sketch, the Jerry Lawler brawl on Letterman, and Kaufman's talk show (where he was seated literally about six FEET higher than his guests).

Most of the Hanna Barbera shows are available on DVD. Unfortunately for you, Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics is not amongst them.

Hey, we had those up here as well.

My mother kept the books up to date religiously. Got a great set of steak knives I remember.
