"only 90's kids will remember.."
 
what are some things that you used to enjoy as a kid that are no longer around today?

blue October 2nd, 2016 10:23 AM

90s cartoons. I mean, cartoons are still around but they're nowhere near as good as they were in the 90s imo.

Alex October 2nd, 2016 10:41 AM

shows like fresh prince of bel air

I just have one question for you...

DO
YOU
HAVE IT?!?!

Eden October 2nd, 2016 11:14 AM

Cartoons from the late 90s and early 2000s, particularly the weekday lineup Toonami had at the time. To me some shows have aged poorly but I can still find fun in them due to the nostalgia.

Also electronics that could probably survive a nuclear blast.

This. I was just about to say that. I mean, kids don't know what cartoons are compared to what I watched in the 90's. It seems like this is someone everyone is agreeing on. XD

Only a true 90's kid would understand this:

i have never seen any other movies like Good Burger starring Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell in all my years of existence.

Caite-chan October 2nd, 2016 4:15 PM

I enjoyed my childhood and that's no longer around...lol. Damn good Nickelodeon. I never watched any other channel but that and thought all others were crap.

a few times in the last couple of years, i've had to pick up my little brother from some huge indoor playground and each and every time i've been inside, they still have the old ps1 consoles with spyro and crash team racing being played. seemingly running fine. like... those really are the most resilient consoles i've ever seen.

Definitely missing the old Nick cartoons, and the old Cartoon Network cartoons and how cheesy but cute the Disney movies were. Also I really miss floppy discs bc no one seems to use those anymore,, also getting cute prizes in cereal boxes.. and i just miss being a child and watching PBS kids all day... sigh

Melody October 5th, 2016 2:08 PM

Aaaahhh! I miss so many things about the 90's

Quality cartoons on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are definitely one of those things. Back then Nickelodeon focused on good clean entertainment; and fortunately still does. It's one of the few Kids channels I'll still recommend. Same goes for Cartoon Network. But I'll still always have a place in my heart for those old '90s/early 2000s shows. Salute Your Shorts, Classic Powerpuff Girls, Kids Next Door, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Samurai Jack; Ed, Edd and Eddy; Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold!, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Drake and Josh, CatDog, Angry Beavers, Dexter's Laboratory, Digimon and oh so many other shows that I can't really list them all. I also remember when Toonami on Cartoon Network was strictly about Anime. That in my opinion was the absolute best time, and I enjoyed Toonami and the anime it brought to us; which I think was like...Inuyasha, Big O, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist Some Gundam variant(s) and Cowboy Bebop. I honestly miss when this came on at about the time that the "adult swim." block takes over. I personally don't often care for some of the shows that Adult Swim runs in that block, though I am glad that they do nod to some better adult animation content such as King of the Hill on that block as well as they do their own, often terrible in my opinion, content which I won't name here.

User19sq October 5th, 2016 3:52 PM

I think that the 90's episode of @midnight was quite the catch, as it reminded me that, now with Street Fighter V's current fighter roster... I miss my Blanka. ;_;

Also, you're dead to me if you don't hear a funky synth when I say ONE MORE TIME~! Whoops, that was 2000. But in my defense, it was recorded in the 90's. At my age, the line between 1999 and 2000 is getting blurred... ; ^;

A) Jack is back, sweetheart.
B) Toonami was never strictly anime. But DBZ and Sailor Moon saw the increase of anime in western shores, so it's easy to think of it as such. It was always "action", but not always anime (and Hamtaro was there because of executive meddling, which everyone hated).
C) They're looking like KotH is getting mistreated pretty lately, maybe cuz of Regular Show's premieres.
D) I will. F*CK YOU, MR. PICKLES! NOBODY WANTS YOU. AND SUPERJAIL CAN GO TO SUPEREHELL FOR MAKING METALOCALYPSE TONE DOWN ITS HUMOR!!!

Altairis October 5th, 2016 11:34 PM

when I think of 90s I think of playing Kirby's Amazing Mirror with my friend when I hadn't moved to California yet. This is definitely not in the 90's tho cause I was older than 3... idk what else.

User19sq October 14th, 2016 6:24 AM

I know I shouldn't revive this dying thread, but it's worth it in regards to including this with it:


NohBuddy2016 October 14th, 2016 6:45 AM

POGs... no idea why, but these things were freaking awesome, especially the heavy plastic or even metal ones, some of them had the most intriguing designs too.

Meganium October 14th, 2016 12:52 PM

Aww man, so much nostalgia in this thread.

My boyfriend and I had a nostalgic trip recently, and quite honestly...it turned out he had a much better childhood than I did. I only grew up with Nickelodeon, while he had a variety of shows that made me go "wtf....".

Does anyone remember Big Bad Beetleborgs? The Tick? The Ripping Friends? Garfield & Friends? Bobby's World? Mostly the shows that aired on Fox Kids. I remember only watching Digimon. lmao

Anyways, back to my childhood...

Nobody even mentions when Pokemon first got popular? You guys should be ashamed of yourselves!

From all the stupid ways to get Mew and the MissingNo. glitch being a stuff of legend that turns out to be real. Also admit it, you've unplugged the link cable mid-transfer at least once just to see if Pokemon would come out of it!

All the amazing Disney shows, Wizards of Waverley Place, Suite life, etc. It's not really a thing that doesn't exist anymore but I miss not being able to spend most days just playing Pokemon for hours like I would as a kid, oh nostalgia.

That's So Raven finished almost ten years ago I think. One of the greats before Disney Channel went downhill.

Guest123_x1 October 15th, 2016 5:26 PM

There's many things I fondly remember from the 1990s as a kid. Among them were:

*Most of the major over-the-air broadcast networks showed cartoons on Saturday mornings, complete with commercials for fast food establishments, sugary cereals, and toy lines. Over the past decade and a half, kids cartoons have virtually been eliminated from commercial broadcast television, due to not only federal E/I requirements, but also advertising restrictions due to the federal war on obesity and "cable competition" (the latter two always being the excuses why networks no longer show cartoons on Saturday mornings). Fox and WB even had cartoon blocks during weekday afternoons as well, with those blocks being eliminated for pretty much the same reasons I just mentioned. (I would much rather have childrens' cartoon blocks on minor network affiliates and independents, complete with age-targeted advertising, than hours of trashy "talk shows" such as Jerry Springer and Maury, and the glut of courtroom shows that dominate weekday afternoon syndicated television these days, along with the countless ads telling us to "call if you've been injured by Xarelto or Pradaxa", to "get cash now for your structured settlement", and "train now to become a medical assistant".

*ABC's "TGIF" (Thank Goodness It's Funny) Friday night primetime block, known for hits such as Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step (the latter two of which moved to CBS for their final season), among various others. Also when Saturday night primetime at the major networks was entirely regularly scheduled original programming (such as NBC's The Golden Girls and Empty Nest), instead of those timeslots being dedicated exclusively for sports or reruns as it is these days.

*When Vanna White turned the letters on Wheel of Fortune, as opposed to touching them as she has done since 1997. In the spoiler is a video clip of the last use of the "turn the letters" trilon puzzleboard, followed by the introduction of the electronic "touch the letters" board.
Spoiler:

(The change to electronic was neccesitated by producer Harry Friedman's desire to get the puzzleboard electronic, as he did not like that it took an hour to tape a half-hour game show with the manual board.)


*When most video game consoles available used ROM cartridges, and the first PlayStation being lauded for using optical discs.

*Listening to music on cassette tapes.

*When schools had Apple IIe computers in widespread use, complete with having to use 5¼" floppy disks to load programs, as well as printing to dot-matrix printers, connected to a port switch (that had a knob for A/B/C/D which was turned to the letter of the computer that wanted to print to that printer). IBM PC compatibles in use at the time had DOS (with custom shell programs), Windows 3.1 and later Windows 95.

I miss a world where Trump and Clinton weren't running for president. That's what I miss.

Florges October 15th, 2016 6:46 PM

Not having responsibilities. :2:

Some of the shows I watched as a kid didn't age well, but I do miss the old Toonami lineup that would air on Kid's WB.
