Re: The Nostalgia Thread

Anyone else ever have any of these. I had a whack of em.

Me and a couple of friends had tons of em. The best guy had a snake/slug body the would barely fit into the holder, he could never be knocked out.

Re: The Nostalgia Thread

Bravestarr was pretty mature for its time. It was actually quite a good show. It's a shame the toyline didn't sell as they canceled the cartoon due to that.

Re: The Nostalgia Thread

While we're on the subject of hilariously annoying mascots, the original of this was in my age 3-6 years so I didn't see much of it then, but oh, the reruns:



There's a reason I jumped on that PYL PSN remake as soon as it came out.

I would remember every Sunday after church I would see this playing on my TV.

Aw man, even if you didn't really care for basketball just watching the games on NBC seemed like an event. You really don't get that kind of excitement anymore.

Those were truly glory days.

Re: The Nostalgia Thread

Anyone remember this? Only lasted one season, but I think I watched every episode:



Basically, roller derby meets professional wrestling (which I was very into at that time)

Was this the one where every show ended with one person from each team doing a tug o war over a alligator pit or something crazy like that?

Best soft drink ever.



When these came out, they were the best thing on the planet.




Used to collect these like crazy. I was obsessed with muscle cars in elementary school.




The 90's was the peak of sports cards. Thank God I was a kid then. I loved those days.

Something like that - you can see the pit in question in the lower left of that screenshot. I don't think that pit came into play on every episode, though - most of the time it was just a water hazard skaters could be knocked into.
