Do you remember these?

[Momiji]

I remember them. Doesn't make some of them less obnoxious then they were. God, I loved me some Family Matters and Animaniacs, though.

[Lucas]

FUCK YEAH MAGIC SCHOOL BUS

[Sinfulwolf]

0.95 a gallon? God damn!

And ah, good ol Wishbone. I still remember the Joan of Arc story in particular.

[ToxicShock]

hound of the baskervilles for me.

[SilentSilth]

I remember all of these.

Also, I can recall almost everything from the Joan of Arc Wishbone... and another one, but the story name escapes me.x.x;

[SirOni]

Wow, even though some of these mostly apply to America I remember a lot of this. I fucking loved Animaniacs and I didnt realise you guys had the magic school bus too. And its Where's Wally, damn Americans corrupting him.

[SilentSilth]

...Who remembers the two Carmen Sandiego shows they had going? >.> The Game Show and the cartoon show?

[Lucas]

Oh god, I remember when this song played ALL THE TIME on the radio.

[ToxicShock]

Hey now, I still love sugar ray

[Alias]

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not
I still do that.... NOT!

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.
You tell me Yoyos aren't still cool, I'll dropkick you in the face.

You remember eating Warheads and Splashers Gum.
What happened to those anyway?

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.
If they wouldn't throw me in a mental institution, I probably still would. Kudos if you remember the xkdc reference here =D

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.
Do they not still have those?

When light up sneakers were cool.
I must have begged my mom for months for a pair of these!

You had slap bracelets!
LOL

*chuckles* good point, I mya have been born in the 80s but I definitely don't consider myself an 80s kid.

[Chibichibi]

...Who remembers the two Carmen Sandiego shows they had going? >.> The Game Show and the cartoon show?

OH GOD!~ I do! I loved those shows!

[avatar99]

As did I Chibi.

[Copper]

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

Quoted for truth.

...Who remembers the two Carmen Sandiego shows they had going? >.> The Game Show and the cartoon show?

Dude, I can still sing the theme song! And yes, I remember the cartoon, too.

Oh god, I remember when this song played ALL THE TIME on the radio.

Thank you, Toxic. As do I. 90's Mark McGrath is nummy.

[ToxicShock]

And actually really intelligent, especially concerning 80's music. But the reason I like them is there's hardly a mainstream genre they haven't touched upon and that's respectable.

[Lucas]

I do like Fly...but goddamn I couldn't listen to it again until 2003 because of how sick of it I had gotten from the 90's.

[Sinfulwolf]

Wasn't there two Carmen Sandiago game shows? "Where in time" and "Where in the world"? I loved them. They even had a couple games.

[Alias]

I remember the carmen sandiago pc games.

[Twisted]

Damn you. Now ya got me listening to the Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? them.

[Shrike7]

Ha, I have the Carmen theme on my regular playlist, take that! :P

Also, Pinky and the Brain was awesome, and you missed two of the most important shows: Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Kratt's Creatures! I remember coming home from school, catching the last half of Saved by the Bell, then watching Family Matters, Bill Nye, and Kratt's Creatures all in one go :D

[Alias]

Bill Nye is still the man.

Kratt's Creatures was good, but I preferred the lemur whose name I can't spell.

[Shrike7]

Zaboomafoo, really? I hated it when that lemur showed up. They didn't need a mascot, and it changed the tone of the entire show, made it all kiddy and less awesome, in my opinion. That's what I liked about them and Bill Nye, it was made for kids, but they talked to them like they were actually intelligent, I didn't feel patronized like I did with most other kids' shows. I mean, high school teachers use Bill Nye in their classrooms, that's gotta show something, eh?

[Alias]

You have a point. In my defense, however, I must point out that my reasoning may be because I got home when KC was either finished or halfway over. So that might be why I preferred one over the other =P

[Chibichibi]

Shriiiike! I want to breed with you!

Bill Nye and Kratt's creatures were win and awesome sauce.

The Jratt brothers still have something that comes on National Geographic iirc.

[Shrike7]

I'm sorry Chibs, I can't. I've sworn off creating abominations of nature, I'm not allowed to 'breed' with anyone. ;)

And yes, they were the two shows that defined my childhood, I luved them so :D

[Nunu]

awww come on, i could totally go some chibishrike...

it wouldn't be an abomination it would be pure awesome, like girl plus... except actually good.

[Shrike7]

I'm sorry Nunu, I just can't take that chance.

XD

[Nunu]

artists interpretation of what chibishrike might look like:

[Shrike7]

Don't... Tempt.. Me, Kerrigan is so hot...

*twitches*

[DarkFire1004]

Well I remember this being a chain message on sites like Myspace...

But yeah. I remember all this. First thing that comes to my mind when I think of the nineties is Blur. Fucking awesome band. Song 2 is still the best damn song title in the world. My all time favorite song too.

I also remember when wearing nothing around the house was considered indecent.... Or is that still indecent?

[Kusanagi]

~This is the song that never ends,~
~Yes it goes on and on my friends!~
~Some people STARTED singing it,~
~Not knowing what it was,~
~But they'll continue singing it forever just because,~

CHARLIE HORSE! Charlie, that's enough!

XD XD XD XD XD


Hell, I STILL have my Tamagotchi... AND IT'S NEVER DIED :O


I remember watching Bill Nye AND Beakman's World, just because they were both awesome in different ways :D


And, of course, talking about the WB, can't forget HYSTERIA! :p


Oh man, now I feel so old :(

[Caulder]

I remember before the internet, EVERYONE wanted a PC and a copy of Roller coaster Tycoon (The original)

[Newbie]

Most of the really good super-hero cartoons didn't start till the 90s. Batman & Superman, Spider-man, the X-Men, Batman Beyond. And Cartoon Network was just a big ball of win.

[Alias]

Dexter's LAH-BOR-AH-TOREE!!

That made CN full of win, even without any of the other awesome stuff they had on there.

[Lucas]

Starship motherfucking Troopers.

[lurker]

Dexter's LAH-BOR-AH-TOREE!!

That made CN full of win, even without any of the other awesome stuff they had on there.

DEEDEE! GET OUT OF MAI LABORATORY!

One of the reasons I lurve Blleedman's comics is because he's using the characters from the 'good' part of CN, not the shitastic stuff nowadays.

[Lucas]

What, you mean to say that Ben10 isn't as good as stuff like Swat Kats, DBZ, and Dexter's Laboratory?

[Copper]

Starship motherfucking Troopers.

You mean Tyranids vs. Space Marines *laughs*

Anybody remember the CGI series they made after it?

[lurker]

What, you mean to say that Ben10 isn't as good as stuff like Swat Kats, DBZ, and Dexter's Laboratory?

The fact you put DBZ in that list makes me wary on saying more on this, because:

1. Never seen Ben10. Probably the newest stuff I've seen is Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's first few episodes and some of the newer seasons of Code Lyoko
2. DBZ: 15 minutes of increasing power levels, 10 minutes of comersials, 5 minutes of anything worth watching. Not my favorite anime.
3. It's more personal tastes in comparison. Isn't that how all intraweb drama starts? :p

[Lucas]

What, you mean to say that Totally Spies isn't as good as stuff like Swat Kats, Reboot, and Dexter's Laboratory?

Fix'd.

[lurker]

What, you mean to say that Totally Spies isn't as good as stuff like Swat Kats, Reboot, and Dexter's Laboratory?

Fix'd.

Not sure of Reboot, but Totally Spies, for being a 'chick' show, was purdy cool. I meant stuff like Spoungebob Squarepants and Camp Lazlow more in my (seemingly dumb now) generalization.

[Shrike7]

Honestly, one of the best new shows I'fe seen has gotta be Sixteen. Jude's my favourite :D

[Twisted]

Swat Kats

Oh my fucking god. You are the first person I've talked to outside of my family that actually remembers that glorious show. That was my favourite show... EVER.

[Copper]

Oh, I remember it, too. I also remember trying to block it out of my mind...

[Sinfulwolf]

Oh Shrike... Kerrigan does have that certain hotness about her doesn't she.

Anyway, Starship Troopers... have the first two movies, and the entire CGI series on DVD. I also have the book, which is much different, and from the 1950's. So since the book is from way back then, and Warhammer 40k is from the 80's I believe, calling the movie Starship Troopers Space Marines vs. Aliens is unfair. It's like calling Dawn of War a complete rip-off of Starcraft...

[Shrike7]

Oh Shrike... Kerrigan does have that certain hotness about her doesn't she.

I'm probably crazy, but most of those Alien-ny things I find hot. Like Geiger's Aliens, though his originals are a lot more... Phallic...

[Mamono Assault Force]

This probably means I'm getting old, but I still watch re-runs of Ren & Stimpy in my free time.

I fucking love that show, and I'll never forget about happy-happy-joy-joy.

[Twisted]

Kerrigan does have that certain hotness about her doesn't she.

She does. I would totally let her infest me <_<

[Sinfulwolf]

I still remember the one hentai picture that I got from this forum with Kerrigan.

edit:
Here it is.

[Sinfulwolf]

Well... replaced mine. Thanks Twisted.

[Twisted]

Along with more Kerrigan hentai in the link I just put in there

[lurker]

Eh, but she's like the rest of us- it takes a while to get ready for a big show-off

Oh, I'm well aware of the differences, but you have to realize my gaming group. Starship Troopers was Tyranids vs. Space Marines, the Matrix was what happened when the Akashic Brotherhood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_Brotherhood#Akashic_Brotherhood) and the Virtual Adepts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Adepts#Virtual_Adepts) got together to make a movie, and any and all vampires in movies were critiqued not only for clan but sect as well. It's more of an equating thing than, say, claiming LotR borrowed things from Harry Potter...

[Kusanagi]

It's more of an equating thing than, say, claiming LotR borrowed things from Harry Potter...

If anything, HP would have 'borrowed' from LOTR...

[Twisted]

I just realized that John Williams did in fact do the score for the movie... That just makes it more hilarious.

[Unknown Squid]

Like Oni said, a lot of that is very American specific, but surprisingly still applies. Another one I'm sure was universal was the pokemon cards rush. Nine thousands cards and no one who actually knew the rules. Through working with my brothers in lots of sly trading I managed to build up a vaguely playable (if crap) deck without ever buying a pack. Man were they expensive.

And there's nothing indecent about that Dark. I still remember drying out in front of the fire after a bath. Wouldn't do it anymore though...

[Hentaispider]

Yeah, I remember that Pokemon cards were insanely expensive. I also remember the time before € came.

[Chibichibi]

Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it out (With Lori Beth, and Danny Tamborelli), All That, GUTS, Global GUTS, Salute your Shorts, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing... i could go on all DAY.

[dmronny]

Like totally, I remember when my little brother was doing all that stuff and how silly it all seemed to me.:p

[Lucas]

Kenan and Kel.

*jizzes just from typing that*

[Kusanagi]

Oh god...

Clarissa Explains It All...

Melissa Joan Hart was hot...

I have NO clue what she looks like now... google is returning some conflicting images :(

[Copper]

*Laughs* If you want to find out, check out the new season of Dancing with the Stars. She's going to be one of the celebrity dancers.

[Shrike7]

Her name rings a bell, didn't she play Sabrina in Sabrina: The Teenage Witch?

[Chibichibi]

Her name rings a bell, didn't she play Sabrina in Sabrina: The Teenage Witch?

YES.

I loved that show too. :3 And Clarissa explains it all was also on my top list.

[Caulder]

Oh god. I just remembered sunday mornings, a bowl of Cap'n Crunch, and a new episode of G Gundam.

Those were the days.

[Lucas]

MST3K.

[Chibichibi]

MST3K.

Fuck. Yes.

Also, one of the radio stations I listen to plays nothing but 90s hit for two hours on the weekends. x3
