Least favorite? Troll dolls, Beanie Babies, 98 Degrees, rollerblading, and those posters with hidden designs in them.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-29048173314750900452016-07-31T17:21:46.126-04:002016-07-31T17:21:46.126-04:00Toonami, Dragon Ball Z, bad anime dubs, peak Final...Toonami, Dragon Ball Z, bad anime dubs, peak Final Fantasy (IV-IX), Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, SNES, some of the greatest JRPGs of all-time, arguably peak Legend of Zelda (A Link to the Past/Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask), peak Sonic The Hedgehog, ridiculously bad/generic/cheesy action movies, MST3K, awesome sci-fi television: Star Trek TNG/DS9/Voyager/Babylon 5/X-Files/Pretender/Stargate SG-1/Sliders/Quantum Leap/Brisco County Jr./etc, the late-night syndicated action series!, peak PBS, pretty minimal Scooby-Doo/Star Wars/Doctor Who franchise content, golden age Simpsons, peak Saturday morning cartooning, dramatic uptick in general cartoon quality (often incorporating subversive humor adults could enjoy), Nickelodeon game shows: Legends of the Hidden Temple/Nick Arcade/Guts/Double Dare/Wild & Crazy Kids/etc, Seal, Jennifer Lopez, Tupac, Garth Brooks, the twangiest country music ever, Liquid Television, Celebrity Deathmatch, unprecedented economic growth, pro wrestling being cool!: The rise of ECW/Attitude Era/Monday Night Wars/Goldberg's streak/Crow Sting/DDP/Austin/DX/The Rock/early awareness of Japanese wrestling...<br /><br />I could go on for hours. :'DTwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536763054977401389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-65191189961578501212016-07-31T13:14:32.071-04:002016-07-31T13:14:32.071-04:00Oh, don't forget the Hammer pants!Oh, don't forget the Hammer pants!P-town Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437348006643978055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-22917776567629184372016-07-31T01:13:29.464-04:002016-07-31T01:13:29.464-04:00You forgot the Macarena, Achy Breaky Heart, and sa...You forgot the Macarena, Achy Breaky Heart, and saggy pants.kid2119https://www.blogger.com/profile/10246367211015906469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-66816056083182014272016-07-30T23:25:42.394-04:002016-07-30T23:25:42.394-04:00Disney Afternoon, Batman The Animated Series, a co...Disney Afternoon, Batman The Animated Series, a considerable drop off in toys aimed at kids based off of cartoons/tv shows from the 80's.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-33552716727160995762016-07-30T23:18:38.514-04:002016-07-30T23:18:38.514-04:00Tamagotchis, Pokemon, Mighty Morphin' Power Ra...Tamagotchis, Pokemon, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, fanny packs, frosted tips, boy bands, beepers, techno music, big ass cell phones, Full House, Boy Meets World, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, Nintendo 64, Playstation, romantic comedies... any other 90's kids want to add anything?Tony Burbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916383902665781661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-58251541691422340452016-07-30T22:18:48.671-04:002016-07-30T22:18:48.671-04:00I am your same age, Night Owl, and you covered my ...I am your same age, Night Owl, and you covered my first '90s thoughts but after that my impressions center around my four children born that decade: Barney, Lion King, car seats, Thomas the Tank Engine, Happy Meals, Teletubbies, minivans, and Lizzie McGuire!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127231103426175652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-51140290753901839062016-07-30T20:02:10.873-04:002016-07-30T20:02:10.873-04:00The 2000's?

Well I only have the perspective of someone who was growing up in those years (mostly in North American at that) but for the most part, it was pretty mediocre. The beginning of the decade was very dark, dour, sludgy and slow. For pretty obvious reasons. Then for some reason having fun and partying became blowing lots of money at the (strip) club.<br /><br />As for the cards, good luck finding any. Unless you go out of your way to find cards from the 2000's, they'll never show up. Ever.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.com
