Most of it applied during the early 90s as well. I stopped watching Saturday morning cartoons because they got stupid, not because I grew up. Looney Toons still cracks me up to this day.

Fraggle Rock was one of Jim Henson's brainchildren...it was a badass show.

Fraggle Rock ruled, used to watch it every time it came on.

i own the series on DVD...or at least all that's out so far. i forgot how much of a musical it is.

lol i remember the muppets, but not those.

you don't remember the "Skip It's"? they were those rollers on a plastic rod with a hoop at the other end that you would put around your ankle and spin it while hopping it every time it came around....


now I feel old...

I went down the list and was like yep, yeah on all of them god I feel old... I need a push pop...

i need a push pop too :haha:

hahah, that stuff was great, I remember a lot of them, born in 83. Fraggle Rock was the shit, I loved that show, Skip it, hahah, good ol skip it. The old ninja turtles, ah so many memories

great times

screw the push pop, I need a ring pop. Remeber those? They got really nasty after like 2 minutes...

Skip it was all that and a bag of chips when it came out. Anyone remember when they put the counter on it??? Now THAT was big time...

Shit, I'm old and was really dorky back then :hide:

my neighbor had skip-it with the counter...the counter was about as effective as the tripometer in my 94 corolla.

(that means it wasn't reliable AT ALL)

Yea my neighbor had a skip it too with the counter, and I remember using it too, and yea that counter was way off

so much memories aint it? i love those days, the future is shit.

ok..I feel old now
