Done this before, but let me see if I can come up with some different "8-second earliest memory flashes" while growing up in Battle Creek.
Being fascinated by that weird blinking device that determined money amounts on Double Exposure. And loving the theme from Your Surprise Package.
Cullen's Price Is Right...always a winner!
Having to ride my bike to my great-grandmother's house during the summer because somehow her little portable tv was able to pick up a new ABC station from Grand Rapids that let me watch Get The Message and the moved-from-NBC Missing Links.
Once my stepfather put an old tv in the basement, there was no more fussing between me and mom over soaps and game shows. Headed right for the basement for the lineup that started with Say When at 10 am.
Also had a chance to watch a few moments of Make A Face. Somehow, our rotating antenna allowed us to occasionally pick up channel 12 out of Flint/Saginaw. Very fleeting memory.
And finding Jerry Van Dyke's Picture This very interesting. Tried to make a home game with spare game cards from Camouflage...which, come to think of it, was another 8-second memory moment from channel 12.
