Cap'n Mitch / Scaramento Local TV

Here's the opening from a 1980 episode of Cap'n Mitch:

TV Pow! was played on local kids shows across the country in the late-1970s / early-1980s; it was done with a modified Fairchild System F system with simple video games like Space Battle and Intellivision Football projected on the screen.

Contestants would call into the station and 'play' the game live by saying "Pow!" when they wanted the guy at the controls to shoot. Mostly it consisted of kids saying "pow,pow,pow,pow" continuously and indiscriminately.

Here's the opening for TV Powww! with Cap'n Mitch from 3/31/80.

Kevin Butler wants you to know that, "Mr. Mitchell Agruss, aka Cap'n Mitch, began his career in local kid's TV as Capt. Solomon C. Whiskers on the local New Haven, Ct. edition of The Popeye Theater back in the late 1950's and into the 1960s."

Hey, just in case you're on Jeopardy one day...
