Nor was the Apprentice Adept series, which was my introduction to him.

I'm of the opinion that American Gladiators totally holds up.  I used to watch reruns of it when I was in college on Spike.

Having grown up in the Boston area, I was always kind of annoyed that it had Boston in the title but didn't seem to really have anything to do with Boston whatsoever.

When I was a youngin', Jars of Clay was playing a free show at an amusement park I was at.  I discovered that at the top of the arc of the Pirate Ship ride, I was able to nail the guitarist with a plastic water bottle.  I felt like such a little rebel.

I always thought Step By Step was a Full House ripoff.  With better looking women.  (Well, Lori Laughlin beats Suzanne Summers imo, but I was young enough at the time that I considered both of them to be way old)

I'm kinda guessing personally.  But I'm pretty sure my first was Return of the Jedi.  I would've been damn young, though, so either it was in the theater forever or I saw it second-run in a discount theater.  (This would've been too early for immediate VHS release, probably.)

I'd probably go with The Running Man…but it's still bad-ass.

Having gone to a school with a big frat scene (University of Colorado), it's not hard to see how they're still popular.  I would disagree that they're particularly middle-class, though, at least in my experience.  They seem to attract more privileged kids with rich parents.  And privileged kids with rich parents tend…
