Well, I think Sara and I took up enough space on the *Academy Awards* thread talking about the Disney Afternoon lineup, so I figured I'd just create a new thread for talking about old TV shows and movies that you used to watch, or any other nostalgic stuff that anyone might want to discuss. BTW, I went out last night and found this site called www.yesterdayland.com that lists almost every old show and movie, among other things, that you could think of. It's great, but be careful-- it's addictive! I stayed up way too late last night looking up stuff like Belle and Sebastian, Pinwheel, Gummi Bears, Wuzzles, and Fraggle Rock. One thing is bothering me-- they list only one My Little Pony movie. While I remember the plot they describe, I also remember a totally different My Little Pony movie in which some of the ponies were kidnapped and turned into evil-looking things.... Did I just dream this? Was it just a really scary episode of the TV show? Or what?

Real Monsters, Rocko's Modern Life... I LOVE THOSE SHOWS! THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehe, go Stimpey! Yeah, I hate Nick too...have you seen All That lately? Two major mistakes: 1) they have the sister to the biggest slut in history 2) they have gotten plain old STUPID. I used to watch that show...a lot... My favorite from your list, though, would probably be Rocko's Modern Life (aw, fishticks!) ;D

I was a Rainbow Brite fan. I could never decide if I wanted to be her or her rival, the storm girl... can't remember her name.
I was a big Ninja Turtle fan too. Me and my bro. That's about the extent of my tv watching though... we moved to Conn. and I just lived outside after that.

I love Scooby-Doo... It's just that it's funny, and that it shows that crime doesn't pay... 'I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddeling kids and that dog!' I love that quote. O-O

Let's see - all of the old TV shows which I used to watch (don't laugh at me, please)
Aladdin, Darkwing Duck, Seasame Street, Shining Time Station, Puzzle Place, Princess Quenivere, Sailor Moon, Blinky Bill, Goof Troop ... and more. Oh yes - the Animaniacs.
Funny, I no longer watch televison that much. Most of these I stopped watching when I was about 8 or 9 years old ... around the time I discovered the magic of good novels.

I just remeber their odd mini series "The Tommrow People". That was so great... Pete and Pete, Inspector Gadjet, You Can't do that on Television were another favorites, but alas that has dissipeared into the great void of Nick... I hate nick now. They produce one decent show (Invader Zim), and then pretty much crush it... Then there was Gumby, but I can't remeber what channel I saw that on...

Yes - I watched Gumby too! I never had cable (it was a Nickelodeon show) but my dad's coworker would tape them for me. And I also saw Inspector Gadget - it was on regular television when I was young. Later, I believe when I was twelve eleven, they made another Inspector Gadget television series where Gadget was very short. It wasn't as good, but sometimes I had a few extra minutes before going to school, I would watch the end of an episode with my carpool friend before leaving.

Pete and Pete was awesome! Someone told me they're showing the re-runs on Nick nowadays...
I was learning a lot from that site last night too. Like, I never knew that the voice of Inspector Gadget was the guy from Get Smart (I loved that show!) although it was obvious once I read it.
