OMG...almost everyone applied to me- except for the mullet. I graduated from high school in 1992.

I was just looking through my h.s. yearbook and- our hair was ugly!!!

I remember listening to O.M.D. (anyone remember them?)

I ALWAYS tight rolled my Z Cavarricci's!

 

[Nellas Elensar]

how about the gun that used to come with the original Nintendo to shoot discus (sp) and ducks....and that stupid dog that would laugh at you when you missed.

I LOVED Duck Hunt...and Mickey Mouse Capades (I think that was the name of it) and Little Nemo's Adventures (I think that was the name of that one)...and Super Mario Brothers...

I remember most of these!

What about Bubble Bobble for Nintendo? I LOVED THAT GAME! I still remember how excited my brother and I were when we got Nintendo for Christmas. And when my brother beat level one in Mario Bros and it said the Princess was in another castle... HE WAS LIKE WHAT??? He thought he had beat the game!

And Choose Your Own Adventure books?

 

[cassi06403]

Oh Ghostwriter - I had forgotten about that! We loved that show!

My brother and I were reminiscing about shows during Christmas dinner... So what about Today's Special? The one with the mannequin that would come alive - I think his name was Jeff?

My brother (born after me in 1984) loved the Elephant Show! I liked Just You and Me Kid - it came on in the mornings.

We were having a debate about Pinwheel - you know the song "Pinwheel, pinwheel, watch it spin round" Was it it's own show or part of a show?

Also - Bill Crosby and the Doodlewriter - with the squeaky sound it made!

Man... memories...

 

[minnieandme]

I thought of another one; does anyone remember watching the afterschool specials on ABC? I think it came on on Wed around 4 pm.

 

[cassi06403]

I just found out you can see clips of a lot of these old shows on YouTube!

Now I'm gonna have to try that much harder to get work done today! LOL

 

[OK!]

I still have my Atari center with the games and everything!!! I even play it once in a great while.

How about Swatch Watches?

I LOVED my Swatches! One of my favorite Christmas presents ever was this one from my grandparents:

I still have it, actually, along with 5 or 6 other ones. I never wore more than one at once, though.

I used to watch the Electric company on PBS too.
