Hello all,

I have is a memory of a scene from a sitcom that I watched in the 80s. I was born in 83, but it might have been in re-runs. but its stuck with me for 20 years and I'd love to finally know what it was. I thought I would post this here because in searching for this show, google brought me threads on this forum where people successfully had their forgotten shows identified (none of them mine, unfortunately).

Here's what I've got:

There's a teenager (dark hair?). He can run really fast. He's talking to an older person (father? teacher? some sort of authority figure) about his ability. I have the impression that this was a 'revealing of my secret ability' sort of conversation. The older guy is reluctant/dubious. The teenager proves it by zipping away, zipping into the kitchen and zipping back with a tall glass of orange juice, which he hands to the older guy. Then the older guy is all like "omg i'm all in shock now and stuff."

That is ALL I HAVE! But as hazy as it is, it has stuck with me for years and it would be a relief to put it to rest. Any ideas??

Thanks in advance either way...

The Flash? I remember a TV show like about him a long time ago, watched it in reruns and I'm pretty sure it was made in the 80s.
