"only 90's kids will remember.."

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!
 
I cheated, sue me. Whoa. Time traveling sure is trippy. Follow me, because this is going to bring tears to your eyes. Where did the time go?
Spoiler:
 
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.
 
i was going to say wonderballs but y'all i was at the store the other day and you know what i saw??? got damn wonderball. now just bring back asteroids, shock tarts, and green ketchup, and we set.
 
I'm pretty sure all those Disney shows were from the early 2000's
 
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:


*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.
 
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.
