I do remember seeing it in seperate episodes after school, but I swear it was release as one whole movie at first. Anyone?

I know what you mean man, I saw something similar. I'm not sure which ones I saw but I know, waaaay back when, surprise surprise they're playing an entire mini on a Sat. afternoon. I remember being so exited that I could watch the whole thing in one sitting. If I remember correctly they did it a few weeks in a row with different series. Afterwards I used to check the tv guides religiously for future airings. I know it was at least 2 weeks in a row and 2 differant minis, and it never happened again as far as I know. I'm in the Baltimore area, does anyone else remember that.

I remember specifically seeing "Pyramid of Darkness" aired as a continuous movie [with commercial interruptions, of course]. And I'm almost sure it was a Saturday afternoon but I don't remember if it was Chicago's WGN 9 or WFLD 32 [FOX].
It doesn't surprise me that other mini series were aired in this way.

Me and my brother became instant Dusty fans because of that horrible song he was singing to the fatal fluffies. OH, and Snake Eyes wearing a dress and breakdancing? Genius. I was always waiting for the Cobra figure to come out - wearing the gray and black uniform that Shipwreck and Snake Eyes use as disguises. Some early form of the Techno Viper I guess. But they never did make one.

I liked the first mini series (Mass Device) A Real American Hero. I also remember them being aired on a Saturday afternoon, I had to have been about 9 or10 years old roughly. It's still my favorite to this day, with Revenge of Cobra coming in second.

Ah PYRAMID OF DARKNESS, it be truly bonkers! What
were the writers on when they dreamed up that story then?
Still, it's impossible for me to hate because it's so off the map and was the first mini I saw thanks to 'Tempo Home Video' - Didn't catch my next one until nearly 15 years later.

It's the craziest thing ever. Alpine yodeling until the mountain falls down is something else. I'm really curious to see what figures they will make for this mini-series -- if they do a Fatal Fluffy and Snake-Eyes in a dress...I don't don't even know what I might do.

And why was Footloose a complete stoner?

Revenge of Cobra (Weather Dominator) is my favorite.
