Anyone see the History Channel last night?

They were doing a thing on GI-Joe last night.

They talked about Hasboro suing Mego over the Fighting Yank figure

Was it that one where they had the show set to music from the 60s? Kind of like the one they did for the 70s?

I saw the 60's Rock show that came on at 10:00 and 11:00 EST and it had some toys commercials on it but mentioned nothing about Mego. Mostly stuff from the early 60's. I msut have seen a different show.

Adjusting the time zone that was the show. I caught it towards the end.

I caught the tail end of the show, so I don't know

The name of it was History Rocks the 60's. I taped it because I was so tired and thought I might fall asleep. I must have because I missed parts of it. Going to re-watch it later tomorrow.

Went back and viewed the tape. It was a 2 part show. What I saw earlier was the second show. The first show has GI Joe and refers to Mego's Fighting Yank as Joe's first enemy. Said the bodies were pressed at the same Hong Kong plant and they each shared the flaw of having a backwards thumbnail on the hands. Hasbro sued Mego and said Fighting Yank was dishonorably discharged. Then Gi Joe's second enemy came along .... mothers. Cool little piece that lasts about 2 minutes.
