Bump in the Night not twisted??

lol. Remember when Ren and Stimpy lived in a whale carcass? Ew.

I also used to be big into Animorphs, Secret World of Alex Mack, Clarissa Explains it all, Are you Afraid of the Dark, Doug...lol

Man, kids shows are not the same anymore.

Never saw Bump in the Night. :eek: I liked Alex Mack, Clarissa, and the the other Snick shows you mentioned too.;):) They just don't make 'em like they used to. :(

Ren and Stimpy's history eraser ;):)
 
:)

Bump in the night scared me, even though I loved it. I was always scred thatstupid Mr. Bumpy was going to come out of the toilet at night, lol.

Yes they did. Don't know if it was because tvs were expensive, they thought it their duty to see what we were up to, the economy was good enough that they had the time to do it, or they actually liked us, but yes they did.

Is it too late to refer you to Amendment V in regards to your question?

And don't call me sir. Several gray hairs have not exempted me from working for a living...

I dunno what that has to do with calling you by the respectful title "sir" :confused:...but, uh, ok.

Made me feel as old as I made you feel. :o

And "Don't call me sir, I work for a living" is an age-old U.S. Army method sergeants use to break those fresh out of boot camp from calling everyone and his dog 'sir'. The implication being, of course, that lieutenants are paid for...something...

...maybe.
 
I wish I could find it now but I read a blog post recently about kids' television programming where the argument was made that the shows we watched as children were infinitely superior to today's programs. Of course we already know this but the reasoning was great. In a nutshell, there was usually a character attempting to scam, cheat or injure another character and the focus of the plot was on the figuring out how to avoid being suckered.

Nowadays the shows are so feel good that critical thinking skills are unnecessary and children learn little more than what toys to ask their parents for. Now of course we gen-xers had our share of toy/show marketing but the premises of the shows were thought-provoking rather than long commercials.

Yayyy!! Thanx for the info. :)

Now that I'm thinking about it, it's kind of amazing how sophisticated the plots of kids' shows were back when I was a youngin. :eek: Remember X-men and batman (the cartoon)? All those shows had real plots and character development, which was kind of a throwback to classic kids' books. There were themes of betrayal, love triangles, greed, generosity, psychosis, and so on...now it's just "eye candy". :(:p
 
Oh man you guys are bringing back some memories!

I was a Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Junkie!


How about this one
