One Saturday Morning. Cartoons (Doug, Recess, and Captain Planet). Other great 90's sitcoms (that I still watch) Full House, The Cosby Show, Home Improvement, and Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Anyone have the same taste?

Boy Meets World!!

Mainly just high school (graduated in 94). I don't necessarily miss high school itself, just the stuff associated with it. Parties, friends, lack of responsibility. I also miss right after high school going to college and visiting friends at other colleges (UCSB, UCLA, etc) and having fun when they were home for the summer. I had a "9-5" while going to college but it was swing shift (2-10:30pm at a warehouse) and a good friend from HS that I worked with were unsupervised from 4 to 10:30 so it was super fun. Man we did some crazy crap at work. :D I miss getting off work and heading straight for a club or bar and not giving a crap what I had to do the next day.

Now I'm married and getting ready to have kids and the whole aging thing is rather scary.

..all the y2k morons running around buying pattets of corn flakes..generators..bunkers in the back yard..throwing out anything with a computer and buying "tube" electronics..spreading all kinds of gloom and doom stories like the global warming mob is doing now.. then trying to convince their neighbours to do the same thing. and no I don't miss it but it was amusing and made for a lot of great yard sales after the world didn't go poof.

I've loved it for a long time now... It's a shame I wasn't into it when they were filming. I would have been to a couple of them.

I moved to Las Vegas in 1991 when the megaresorts were still few and far between, you could get steak & eggs for $.99, $.25 drafts, and a nice house for $100k. Every time I visit Vegas now I really miss that long lost golden age...

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.

Man, I'm old (32). Ten years ago, in 1997 I was 22 and having the same discussion about the 80's. There was a popular article that circulated around the internet about being a child of the 80's. We missed our 80's music, Star Wars figures, and TV shows like Diff'rent Strokes and Family Ties. The Saturday morning cartoons we discussed missing were Pac-Man & Dungeons & Dragons.

Cartoon Express!
That reminds me of when I'd get up early, my parents would still be sleeping, I'd be watching cartoons, and the ice cream man would be driving down the streets... so I'd run in and beg my parents for ice cream money, and I'm sure they gave it to me just to get me to shut up and go away :p

Question from another early 30's dude: Do either of you guys remember Bionic 6? That was probably my favorite cartoon. They were only on early morning (6:00am-ish?) when I was finishing middle school. I'm pretty sure Bionic 6 was a 1-seasoner, so it may not have been too widespread. I think the characters were Bionic 1, Mother 1, Sport 1, Karate 1, Sonic 1, and Science 1(? I could never remember the black kid's hero name). The basic premise was the father (Bionic 1) was a bionically-enhanced government agent. His family got into a wicked bad car wreck and to save their lives they made them bionic and with special abilities (increased ESP, more athletic, a karate master, supersonic-fast, super-genius, respectively). They always fought this grossly-overweight evil doctor who was hell-bent on becoming immortal. It was a pretty cool show.

I confess: I wore those. I might even still have my pair of those exact pants in my parents' attic! I had a matching Raiders hat I wore with them until the Raiders became the official mascot of one of the Asian gangs in my city. It was either TRG or TG. One was the Kings, the other was the Raiders. And holy hell were they brutal in fights.

My childhood (the elementary school years).

Wow, time goes by quickly. I'm flying across the country to start college tomorrow.

Jedi Knight DF2. That game was so fun when it was popular. I also miss the absence of reality TV (Plague of current television)

I had a semi-working back in the 90's...I miss that...a LOT.

Otherwise, I was working my ass off...making good money, but never any time to spend any of it. I guess that's why I got married...My wife does a pretty good job of that for me.:p
