Garfield in Paradise
I remember watching this every summer when it was shown on, I believe, CBS. They would air it on a week night as a "Special Presentation". Here it is in it's entirety. Share your memories of it in the comments!

Axis & Allies
Hey, kids! Now you can control the Nazi army in its fight to inherit the earth! Okay, so there may have been something slightly disturbing about having players “become” the army of the master race for a few hours, but all in all, Axis & Allies was a benign and even educational experience. Besides, it's no more dangerous to your psyche than pretending to be a "mighty" medieval warrior having lusty dungeon adventures and saying "ye" all the time.
Set in the spring of 1942, Axis & Allies gave from two to five players control of the five major powers of World War II: Germany, Japan, Great Britain, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. With a detailed map and literally hundreds of game pieces—including small molded plastic tanks, infantry, fighter planes, bombers, freighters, carriers, subs and battleships—this was one of those games it took an hour to set up before you even started playing. But the long process was paid off with… well, another long process. What, you thought it was easy commanding the land, sea and air forces of five military superpowers?
