when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

You played and/or collected "Pogs" :)

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart

"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

Before the facebook frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

If you could "Skip it" better than you could jump rope.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers!!!

If you were Livin' La Vida Loca.

If you played Heads-up 7up in class.

When all that was in a happy meal was either a barbie or a hot wheels car.

If you made tough decisions using the "eeny-meeny-miney-moe" method.

I've seen re-runs of those shows... I also loved double dare 2000 but that doesn't count since it came out in... well... 2000. I must admit, Nickelodeon was the absolute pawnage in the 90's/ early 2000's.

I wish i could've seen that on the news... *goes off to youtube and searches for "Lewinsky Scandal"*

Here's another one:
  • If you saw the Yankees win 4 World Series in 5 years
I wish I could've seen that but unfortunately I started watching baseball religiously in 2001. I did get to see the 2000 world series though.
 
Holy ****, I am such a 90s kid. And Olmeck's Temple was awesome.

I still use floppys btw.
 
90's all the way.... It makes you sad cause you realize life sucks now..... I loved Rugrats... Ive been contemplating buying the original series to show my kids in the future... They deserve to remember the good 'ol days....



Another few things

  • you owned a Gameboy or a Gameboy Color...
  • Pokemon was the awesomest show ever concocted in Japan or America
  • The show Angry Beavers was still on air...
  • The only curse word you knew was hell and you NEVER said it
  • Your mind didn't contort words into innuendoes -.-
  • You said "coolio" or "yupper doodles"
What happened to the good times...?
 
I think controting words into innuendo has really just happened as we grew older.

I dod miss a lot of those things... Like the original Power Rangers!
 
the 90s...the best 7 years of my life... i got nightmares from "are u afraid of the dark" i loved yo yos and light up sneakers...pwnage!!! those were the good old days.. i miss it, like animal said, nickalodian was amazing back then with rugrats,dug, ren and stumpy, ROCOS MONDERN LIFE, and real monsters. i wish i could go back in time and relive all that stuff
 
I am a 90's kid. I miss those cartoons on saturday morning. Dexter's Lab, Justice friends, cow and chicken. They were all great. I read goosebumps and watched the show. Watched captain planet. And I still have my sega genesis. I had pogs. and other things from the list.
 
There are a number of those "wish it were still the 90's" groups on Facebook. Guess that just shows how much people miss it.

Here's some more to add to the list:

You remember when it was uncommon for men to have long hair,

You spent hours playing Donkey Kong Country,

You remember seeing or hearing of movies such as The Lion King, Matilda, and The Parent Trap

You remember Toy Story and Toy Story 2, but you have no desire to see Toy Story 3

You remember when you saw more Ford Taurus' than any other vehicle and when the Windstar and Aerostar minivans still existed,

You remember when station wagons were more common than SUV's.

You remember when cell phones were as a big as a fu#&* pencil sharpener

You remember Acclaim

You wanted one of those different colored iMacs more than anything in the world

You remember how tragic it was when John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash

You remembered Stick Stickly and you did not associate his name with anything else

You remember how awesome the show Kenan and Kel was

You always wished to one day be on All That

You remember when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were considered "heroes"

You remember when John Elway, Wayne Gretsky, and Cal Ripken Jr. actually were heroes

You remembered when it was the social norm to say words like "funky"

And finally...how fitting

You remember when one of the greatest Zelda games was released in "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"
 
ZOMG
Angry Beavers
Kablam
Dexter's Lab
Johnny Bravo
Kenan and Kel
The Jetsons
Huckleberry Hound
Yogi Bear (smarter than the average bear)
Looney Tunes (from the 90s)
Scooby Doo, Where Are You?

Some of the best shows ever.

Also, Chinese food!
 
What about Rocco's Modern Life and the good version of the Rugrats, those were good to ;).

Ouh, and Hey Arnold!

Those programs actually taught us something while remaining interesting. Todays show are really a bunch of mindless dribble that people call TV (with the exception of a few 90s shows still on the air, I'm connecting to the shows of the current century).

...Wow, I sound old...

*woot 200th post!!*

You're right! I just realized that. I do remember when shows actually had a moral. That basically died with the introduction of "Fairly Oddparents"...

Congrats on your 200th.
 
Samurai Jack

The Amanda Show

Anyone remember Kablam? Ah, that was such a great show!

And I really liked the depressing moral-less endings of the Fairly Odd-Parents. Like Malcolm In the Middle.
