Just those two bring back good childhood memories. Now we have crap like Spongebob Square Pants.
It's hard finding shows like Doug Funny on now :(

I miss the games too... they were quite a bit better, IMO, than present day games. They had qualities or traits that interested you, not just graphics or story line, etc.

I miss dates that were made of only odd digits. Last time was November 19, 1999 at 11:59:59. Won't happen again for over a thousand years.

Bill Clinton and cheap gas are two good ones. I also miss Star Trek TNG.

Which is funny because seinfeld never had any hype.

The network didnt think it was going to be a hit and ordered the first few seasons piecemeal. And its ratings were not great in the beginning. They slowly built up over the run of the show, peaking in its last season.

It wasnt until the show was finished that people called it legendary.

Wish I could say the same.
Didnt think girls liked me too much back then and mostly kept to myself.

Looking back I wish I had tried to jump every single one of them. Have not seen any high-school peers since I graduated. Would not have to worry about their opinion of me.

Have been told by friends that if you hit on everything that moves at least one out of 50 of them will respond in kind. By those numbers I could have gotten laid at least 6 times in high school. And sexual values being what they were among teen girls at the time, thats not an unrealistic fantasy. In retrospect it seems like high school was one of the easiest places to get nookie. Wish I could go back, ignore my personal doubts and just go for it.

I miss the relatively low crime of the early 90's. I think Clinton did some good things but the weapon ban was not one of them.

I just miss it all. I love the 90's. It's when I grew up.

Oh also TaleSpin!

Oohh-wee-ohh TaleSpin!

Hmmm let's see what else...

- Getting around the world was easier. We could take a hop from one military base to another for only $10.00 a flight. Dunno if this is still going on.

- Music didn't all sound the same.

- Movies didn't all have the same / similar stories

- Other stuff.
