Cable didn't come to my neighborhood until 1983, so that's when I started watching.

Les played several characters, but Barth was always my favorite.

Another one I liked was him as the executioner...Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop the execution! Also, what kid didn't wanna play video games at Blip's Arcade?
