First Indy experience

Way back in the days before the internet, it was easy to be suddenly surprised by new films, music and TV. I remember discovering that there wasa Young Indy show only by seeing the TV guide cover. Somehow I never read about it and was excited by the news. Same with the films. When we were kids, my friend raved about a new movie called 'Raiders of the lost ark'. It sounded really dumb until he mentioned it had the guy that played Han Solo. TOD and TLC I learned of from magazines, only no the before release. Nowadays, we follow the making of our favorite films for years and it seems to lessen the excitement somewhat.
