Oh yeah, that movie was creepy! I finally understood it, though. I watched that with my mom earlier this summer. He was pretty mean in that LOL!

I was a Nick at Nite fan from the get go...I remember watching the Donna Reid Show and wanting to have perfectly long, beautiful hair like her daughter. I also watched Mr. Ed, My Three Sons, and Patty Duke all in black and white too...and I'm only 21.
Some other random shows that were probably too old for me where Lavern and Shirley, The Jeffersons, Johnny Carson...
I don't think anything I watched was ever embarassing but just kinda odd for my age. Oh well...I still think Nick at Nite ROCKS...oh and I always had to watch the old Adam West Batman EVERY day after school.

I'm definitely a fan of the old batman series. Willam Anderson, Whitman '51 (Adam West) the guy who starred in Batman is a brother of mine.

Alright we all watched "Saved by The Bell" and you cannot deny it. Don't lie, there are even a few of us losers who secretly stuck around for the "College Years" and that horrible movie. By the way it's still comes on at 6am CST on TBS. Did anyone else thing Ms Bliss was hot? eewww we should start a board "Saved by the Bell memories" I'm a loser

Miami1839 08-05-2001 08:45 PM

Wooglin,

I'm with you on that.

How could I forget SAved by the Bell?!!! I admit I even watched the college years. I think Tiffani Thiessen is really pretty and she did a great job on 90210.
What was the show called with STeve urkel. I watched that too. Step by Step- I wonder what ever happened to the little nerdy kid with the glasses on that show?
I watched reruns of I dream of Genie, Bewitched, and The Brady Bunch.

Oh yeah, what about Ghostbusters? NOT the one with Slimer and Egan and that crew (I think they called that one "The REAL Ghostbusters"), but the one with Jake, Eddie, Tracy the Gorilla, and Jessica the news reporter? Does ANYONE else remember this? I used to have all their action figures.

Thrillhouse 08-05-2001 11:56 PM

What about the cartoon, HE-Man? Hahahahah I used to watch that all of the time

juniorgrrl 08-06-2001 12:53 AM

AlphaSigLana,

Pinwheel aired on Nickelodeon from about 1979-1987. It was a mix of live action people and puppets (kinda like a knockoff Sesame Street) and little cartoon shorts.
http://www.geocities.com/mystiemei/pinwheel.html is a site that has info about the show.

Orchid, I remember the Ghostbusters cartoon too! They would jump on a matress and yell "go go ghostbusters!" before going to solve a crime or whatever.


AlphaSigLana 08-06-2001 12:58 AM

Junirogrrl- you are the only person I know who remembers pinwheel. I've asked people if they have ever seen that show and they look at me like i am crazy. Even my mom didn't remember it and I know she was around when I watched it.
Silver Spoons
Webster
Different Strokes
Family Ties
Facts of Life
Heman
Growing Pains
Full house
3-2-1 contact
I can't remember any more . I used to watch Cosby, but I think that is a good show not an embarressing one to admit watching.
I am a 90210 addict.

Wow--all the memories!! I remember Pinwheel ("Pinwheel, Pinwheel spinning around...") I used to love Today's Special too. What happened to all of the quality kids shows and Saturday morning cartoons??? Now they have crap like City Guys on NBC on Sat. morning http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif I agree with most of the shows on everyone's list and wanting to grow up being the girls on the shows. I thought they were so old!!! Did anyone mention Family Ties? I remember being sad when that went off the air. I also remember coming home after school and watching the Flintstones andreruns of the Brady Bunch on TBS http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

There's no such thing as Saturday morning cartoons in Hawaii. ABC's cartoons usually air around noon...and City Guys airs around 2-ish.

I remember Today's Special very well...with Jeff the Mannequin..and that lady (I forget her name...and who could forget Muffy the Mouse?

Mr. Wizard's World and You Can't Do that on Television were also some of my other favorites... Bananaman had to be one of my most favorite Nickelodeon cartoons! I miss the old jingle: "Nick-nick-nick-nick-na-nick-nick-nick...NICKELODEON!"

Now that MTV's turned 20, I hope that Nickelodeon will also do a similar nostalgia event.

TinkerbellMTSU 08-06-2001 10:24 AM

OMG! Ghostwriter! I totally forgot about that! I thought I was dorky for watching that when I was younger LMAO!

Did anyone watch that show with the girls Izzy and what's-her-face, the two girls who were best friends (one was a tomboy)? A Disney show! Dangit, what's that called???

Oh yeah, and the other Disney show with the boy & girl who were best friends (the curly-haired boy and the girl with wavy hair & her other friend had dark hair)!

To whomever wrote about Home Improvement: GAWD! The other day I was cleaning out my old file drawers, and I found an old poster of JTT! He must've been like THIRTEEN in the picture, but I've had that since I was ten or something! I will probably keep it just because it's so funny---it might be worth something someday! LOL!

Does anyone still have TITANIC posters??? I do! I was obsessed with that when I was 15! I think it's so dorky now, but I just can't make myself get rid of them! I still have books and the videos and a nightgown too!
