Nostalgia Critic: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. And welcome to WTR, a.k.a... Was That Real?

(It cuts to the title card of WTR)

NC: This is a new segment where we look at nostalgic TV shows that, by all sense of taste, probably shouldn't have existed.

(Cut to clips from shows like "Small Wonder", "Dumb and Dumber, "Count Duckula", "Dog City", and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective")

NC (vo): There are strange, silly, oddball ideas that you would never believe could fill an entire season, well, alone 24 minutes. But they did, and we're going look at whether or not they were worth our time then and worth our time now.

NC: With that said...I have a little bit of a confession to make. Um... How did you come across "Star Wars"?

(a poster of "A New Hope" is shown)

NC (vo): If you're like most people, you've found out from a friend, a family member, or even a constant exposure from popular media.

NC: But, (sighs) it's not how I came across "Star Wars". I came across "Star Wars" because I saw it had Ewoks in it.

(we see a picture from "The Return of the Jedi", showing Luke meeting an Ewok)

NC (vo): And I knew it had Ewoks in it because I saw the spin-off movies. And I saw the spin-off movies because I played with the toys. And I played with the toys...

NC: ...because I watched "Ewoks: The Cartoon".

(the title of said series is shown)

NC (vo): Yep. Not even kidding, this was my introduction to "Star Wars". It's about as backwards as you could possibly get.
