I must have been about three at the time - I can remember quite clearly being very worried about Popeye. He was constantly being beaten to a pulp by Bluto and the spinach was always just almost out of his reach. I spent a lot of time fretting that one day he wouldn't be able to reach that spinach and Bluto would finally finish him off!
