Here's something I remembered while jumping around the boards: GI Joe cartoons on WGN's "Bozo the Clown". Probably around early 1987, after the cartoon had been around for awhile, WGN chopped up some of the Season One episodes and aired them on Bozo's daily show. Instead of the old Warner Bros or Woody Woodpecker cartoons, they turned to GI joe cartoons to keep things fresh. They'd show one segment of an episode, once a day. So, basically, it took them three full days to air an entire episode of GI Joe.
Now, the funny part about is, I remember Bozo introducing the segments. Sorta' like the late 80's Sgt. Slaughter introductions. Bozo would say stuff like: "last time, GI Joe was in Africa tracking down a satellite and were attacked by WILD APES--what's gonna' happen now?!" Since WGN's Bozo was a pretty quick-witted guy (and would bust out some genuinely funny ad lib one-liners and comebacks), I'm wondering if anybody recalls any goofy riffs or introductions he did for the GI joe segments. A YouTube search isn't turning up any decent results, so please share any tidbits.
