Legends of the Hidden Temple, I forgot all about that. That was an amazing show. What the hell happened to Nickelodeon?

Haha and Pokemon, ah man, I paid so much for that ish. I gotta Charizard card out of a pack, that was the best day of my life at the time lmao.

Yeah, unfortunately I sold all of my cards years ago. I wish I still had them just so I could look through them.

I was a huge NASCAR die cast collector when I was little, so sometimes I go through them for nostalgia's sake. They were to me what baseball/football cards were to everyone else.

Another huge 90's thing for me personally was the one week in the summer I'd spend at my dad/grandmother's house. We'd go to Dorney Park's waterpark every single year and it was like the greatest day of my life each time. I went back to the waterpark for the first time this summer and while it was the same, it was so different. All the new slides, and the hill we'd always put our towels on and eat dinner at was now occupied by a slide. It was seriously depressing being there.

I was a huge Nascar loving kid in the 90's too. I had every single Nascar die cast model that was racing at the time. I had Nascar 99 for N64, and used to watch it all the time. I loved Nascar at the time.

I'm Telling Tim: Your right, How the hell could we forget about Doug? Porkchop, Pattie Mayonaisse, Roger, Skeeter lol. That show was brilliant and Quailman!! Doug, Hey Arnold, and Rugrats were my favorite cartoon's on Nickelodeon at the time.

Re: That 90's Thread

Excuse me, but I am from Chicago and during the 90s in the Chi it was all about Crucial Conflict, Do or Die, R Kelly, Psycho Drama and Twista. Hell I use to stand on the corners on North Avenue & Central Avenue with Twista, and hang out with Crucial Conflict on the corners on Chicago Avenue and Ciercro.

90s was when everybody in the Chi was riding Caprices with some 20's with some 15's in the trunk. When I was in high school we would drive out to the suburbs messing with cougars before the term cougar was even invented.

Far as tv........Martin was the bees knees.

And of course if you were from the Chi.......you had to be rockin the latest Jordans with a towel coat. Oh how I miss the Chi.......a place where you can walk 2 or 3 blocks in any neighborhood and get an italian beef or gyro at 2am.

Yes I said 2am. Hood joints in the chi don't close until 3am monday through friday and at 4am on the weekends.

I loved that show. It used to air around 4-4:30 so after school i'd watch it. I always thought it was the most mature "kids" cartoon out there. I just wish more cartoons would be made with that sensibility of being somewhat mature but still accessible to kids and not too grim and gritty.

The modern setting with 1930s architecture and look was very striking. Actually, I'd love to see a live action movie going for the noir/1930s overall aesthetic while being firmly rooted in the present. I think it can be done.

Re: That 90's Thread

I was a big fan. I had all of those Megazord action figures and then the individual Power Rangers with the heads that flipped from their original head to the mask by a little button on the back...I can't find a picture of them.

I'll leave this post with another 90's musical masterpiece:

Re: That 90's Thread

Anyone else use Prodigy back in the day get online? I remember when we first got the Internet (dial up obviously) and used Prodigy. I think that was '95 or '96 and usage was on an hourly basis. I was 14 at the time and it was my first introduction to Internet pron (it was weak as hell btw lol) and I racked up like 40 hours in one month (all late at night naturally) and my old man nearly beat the piss outta me.

I also remember when we first got broadband and how awesome it was not have to dial up and to be connected/online 24/7. This of course coincided beautifully with me discovering Napster.

HAHA. Prodigy was the ish back in the day. It was so slow, I remember being at my boys and typing in a url and still have time to go and get some food from the kitchen before it loads.

I think we used Prodigy...I remember my mom's boyfriend at the time brought it in and was talking it up like it was the best thing ever made, and after that me getting crazy excited to use it.

I could seriously post in here for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. I freaking loved the 90's, even though I'm only old enough to remember half of it.

Tommy was the man. Wasn't the pink ranger like 26 years old playing a high school role? My brother watched all the shows and had all the video tapes.

Even back then, the special effects were sooooooo hideously bad.
