Any Other Born Again Teeny-Boppers?

[darklinensuit]

I read once that Capricorns age backwards (so look forward to my ever increasing immaturity, Marissa:wavey: ), so I have an excuse for this.
I'm watching Smallville these days and enjoying it. Yup, a WB show, one that my students are addicted to.
So what are you too old to be doing, but you're enjoying it anyway these days? (Are you hitting the Atlanta pools in your Speedos, Jason?:laugh: )

Remember, the coolest of all women once said "I have a really teen-aged personality."

[dissention]

I'm not supposed to enjoy watching Arthur on PBS, but I do anyways.

Besides for that, I think I'm too old. It's reflected in the music I like and the fact that I just bought "What's Happening??" on DVD speaks for itself. I can't wait for Fat Albert. :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

Fabulous...thanks for the warning, sweetie.

Well, evidently i'm the one that's 34 and you're the one that's nearly 21...lol

Honestly, most of my habits make me seem like i'm old. Seriously. Yes, I do still enjoy the drama of Real World and Road Rules on television (because who DOESN'T like drunken debauchery?) and I will admit to having stuffed animals in my bed (DW from Arthur is one of them). I do like to go out but i've never been a party girl and going clubbing is NOT my thing. I'd much rather sit home than be in some small enclosed space with some sweaty gold- necklace-tight-black-shirt-clad losers while dancing to crappy teen music. Kplznthx. :nod:

I love Arthur todeath, it's incredibly entertaining. I've watched the Berenstain bears a few times and that's great, too. Zooboomafoom is unbearable, though. :laugh:

Remember "Zoobilee Zoo'? I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that show with a passion. It was the BEST. :nod:

I used to love The Berenstain Bears and just the other day I was flipping through the channels and saw they had their own show and nearly died.

Do I remember Zoobilee Zoo?? OMG YES! That was my show....that and Today's Special and The Elephant show. I used to want to be the Kangaroo because she liked to sing and dance and she had music notes on her outfit...oh, and she was pink..that's very important when you're like, 4. :laugh:

Do you remember Mapletown??? I seem to be the only person that remembers that show...that was another one of my favorites.

I loved the cockatoo on Zoobilee Zoo and the mayor. :D

And do I remember Mapletown?!?!?! OMG, I used to be so excited for it! I'd rush home after school so that I could catch it on Nickelodeon. Gawd, they had good stuff on Nick back then. They played it right before Inspector Gadget! :D :laugh:

Do you remember the Adventures of Little Koala? Another fave. The 80s were good. I used to stay up late with my grandmother and watch Miami Vice, too. :p

[dissention]

OMG, Marissa!

I just found the best site with info on all the old Nick shows! http://www.visionsnet.com/nick/showinfo.php Go to one of the classics page and for every show, there is info and links. Mapletown is there! And the Little Koala! :laugh:

We? Are nerds.

[Ali]

I still own all my Mapletown toys. And I sing the Elephant Show song to my dog.

Anyone here watch Nickelodeon GAS? If you don't, you should They show nothing but old Double Dare, Nick Arcade, Make the Grade, Finders Keepers and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Under the Umbrella Tree was my favorite show on Disney! I used to tape them all. :laugh: I also loved "Dumbo's Circus", too. Remember that one? And I loved the fairy tales show where Olivia Newton-John told the stories. The old days were so good.

I? Own Ghostwriter books. I loved that show to death.

Remember the "Littlest Gnome"? "Eureeka's Castle"? "Grimms Fairy Tales"? "The Adventures of Tin Tin"? I'm feeling so nostalgic. ;) :laugh:

Legends of the Hidden Temple was the greatest. I always wanted to be on Double Dare so I could do the obstacle course at the end. :nod:

What was the name of that show that Mike O'Malley used to host on Nick? It was a physical challenge-type show, but I can't remember the name.

And does anyone remember SNICK? Every Saturday of my childhood was spent watching that line-up! Clarissa, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Roundhouse, Ren and Stimpy...

[DeeGeMe]

I didn't like cartoons as a kid but now can't get enough of Looney Tunes. How can you not love Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn & the crew? Although, I must admit, I've never had any particular fondness for either Tweety or Roadrunner.

I also got a huge kick out of seeing the revial of HR Puff-N-Stuff. That was a blast from my childhood! Anyone remember the Bugaloos?

See, now I always wanted to be on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?

The show you're thinking of is GUTS...with the kids from all over the world competing with each other and at the end they had to climb the huge rock thing.

They used to call me Marissa Explains It All in school :laugh:

Guts was a great show; thanks for the name! I loved the challenges, they were the BEST. At the end when they had to climb the "mountain"? Oh, it was great.

And I loooooooove Carmen Sandiego! I had the board game and drove my mother nuts with it. They should bring it back to PBS and trash Zooboomafoom. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

I remember a LOT of these shows from when I was young too (although I'm not as old as some of you! :laugh: ). I distinctly remember watching Eureeka's Castle,The Adventures of Tin Tin, and Land of the Lost when I was really little. Clarissa and the rest of the Snick shows came a little later. By the way, was All That a part of the original Snick? That show was so funny!

And on a slightly more recent note, I still watch Hey Arnold a lot.

By the way, was Legends of the Hidden Temple the one where is you werent careful in the obstacle course (temple :rolleyes: ), the weird, swampy looking green men would catch you? LOL

Oh, thanks for that link too!

You've all made me feel really old. My Saturday mornings were spent watching Looney Toons, Scooby Doo (w/o Scrappy!) and the SuperHeros (Wonder Woman, Wonder Twins, etc). As for taping them, well VCRs weren't around yet. Maybe Beta versions, but not many people had them...we did have Pong, though!

Here's another great classic Nick site:

http://webpages.charter.net/toasterking/nick/nick.html

It has info on Count Duckula; one of my faves!

[estranged4life]

I have started watching Japanese anime again religiously, Mainly "Witch Hunter Robin" & "Cowboy Bebop"...Btw, "Robin" attire (Main character of "WHR") reminds me of <b>someone</b> with the same long flowing black "grandma" dress she wears in each episode, But I just can't picture <b>who</b> it is she reminds me of...;)

I have since enjoyed childish shows like "Sagawa-The Chinese Siamese Cat", but I still enjoy classics like "Sesame Street" & "Mister Rogers".

Brian j.

[jadegypsy]

WOW this is like reliving my not so long ago child hood, my gosh I recognize almost all of these, Mapletown, Kooala Bear, Count Duckula, DD, and Hidden Temple, wow!

Anyways as for what I'm too old, well I still adore the chipmunks and if they are on I will watch them,discovered a lot of great music through that show:) Plus I have a stuffed alvin on my bed, my roomies call it my boyfriend, what can I say I had to bring one stuffed animal with me.

As for other stuff well my computer songs do include some disney tunes, and I do own both chipmunk christmas tapes.

Oh I still buy and read Betty and Veronicas regularly, but then again you're never to old for comic books.

I'm sure there are some other things I could mention, but I'll leave it at that.

[dissention]

Ooh, here's one:

My mother (of all people) bought a Playstation 2 and I literally make up excuses to go over there and play it. I'm addicted to The Simpsons: Hit and Run game and Celebrity Deathmatch with Anna Nicole. And I hate video games. :laugh:

that's true...I need to start up collecting Superman again, Since I have all the issues from 1986-1997, Just got busy with life and stopped reading awhile back.

My older brother Geary has about 30,000 comics (!!!) and he will never give that hobby up even as he approaches his 40's.

I enjoy "The O.C." way too much for someone over 30. :) Spongebob Squarepants is my man! I love that cartoon so much. Sandy, Patrick and Bob are just too cute. Also I like Ed, Edd and Eddy. Yesterday I watched Tom and Jerry and laughed so hard my side hurt. And for my weekend I have bought like 5 video tapes because Sci-Fi is running Quantum Leap all day! I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday weekend! Yes ~ I need a life. LOL!

The Simpsons Hit And Run is addicting...can I just say the entire time I was down the shore, my cousin and I played that and Tetris World with my aunt and my other cousins fiancee (we passed the controllers around...lol). We're talking like, 4 hours and none of us have moved yet :laugh:

I love Summer and Seth together. I thought I was the only one. Everyone else is like no way Anna and Seth should be together. And Luke and Julie Cooper ahh that's just wrong but hey to each their own. And don't get me started about Marissa. Could she not see Oliver was a freak. Oh gosh ~ I am 33 not 13. I should not like this show as much as I do...California..aah ahh.........

Summer and Seth are adorable together. I like Anna but you could tell it wasn't going to work. The best was when they all went to Palm Springs and Summer says, "Awww you two look like brother and sister!" :laugh: As far as Luke and Julie...the age thing I can deal with but the fact that IT'S HER DAUGHTERS EX BOYFRIEND is GROSS. And yes, Marissa was blind with the whole Oliver debacle. Wow...I'm obsessed with the O.C... :distress:

I've never seen those, but I might look into the Berenstein Bears. I've been using cartoon characters on graphic organizers to teach students about philosophies/belief systems/religions: Fred Flintstone for Confucianism, Casper for Buddhism, Winnie the Pooh for Taoism, Yosemite Sam for legalism. I'm wondering if the bears would fit with Judaism. Seriously.

So here, all this time, you rag on me and YOU'RE PART JERSEY! Ha!

Never saw the sketch.
My dad graduated Atlantic City High.
My grandparents & the family had seven of the city's nine kosher butcher shops. (Today there are none.)
But I'm NOT really Jersey. My father's mother moved there from Philly, thank you's very much.:)

Oh wow...*insert THE MORE YOU KNOW music here*... your family? Kosher butcher shops. My family? Gas stations and an oil company/truck stop (only one gas station now and my dads twin owns the oil company).

Embrace your Jersey, honey. You know yous are :laugh:

I posted about it before seeing this. It was Shazam & Isis. Shazam used to communicate with the great ancient sages from inside a trailer.
Isis was a hot archaeologist. I even remember the episode where her car was stolen & the thieves painted it yellow, which she liked better."Oh Mighty Isis!"

- Jake

Thanks Jake--I couldn't remember Shazam's title! I saw a "Where Are They Now" episode on VH1 about a year ago and it turns out that the actress who played Isis is now "retired". She married well and divorced better. She still looked great though. TV & Movies always make being an archaeologist look glamorous--I wanted to be an archaeologist until I had the realization that it's really just a lot of digging around in the dirt!

I loved Tiny Toon Adventures! Little Daffy Duck was adorable. Animaniacs was never a show I liked; if cartoon characters ever ate speed at an alarming, it was the ones on that ****ty show.

Fern Rosenthal! That's her name. :D Tracey Ullman is the best. My favorite character of hers is Mrs. Noh Nang Ning.

And she was a professor, to boot!
I never could decide which was hotter, her floating in the air in the tunic when she put the necklace on or Lynda Carter spinning.
Ahh, the old Maryanne vs. Ginger debate again.

Here are the shows I loved to watch.

YES!! Someone else who remembers Today's Special :D I remember Fifteen but there was also another show on where they were all in high school and I remember the one girls parents were total hippies and they got into trouble all the time....or was that Fifteen? I used to love it.

Yup, she had the donut shop. If you can find Tracey's book called "Tracey Takes On", PICK IT UP IMMEDIATELY!!! it's hysterical and even comes with paper dolls for all of her characters.

Last year she did two HBO specials and she just finished filming a John Waters movie. She's married to Chris Isaak and after she gets hit by a car, she becomes a sex addict. :laugh:

I can't wait to see it. :nod:

Wow, she was SO sexy in it.:laugh: It was always a toss-up whether I'd go for Stand Back Stevie or They Don't Know Tracey.:rolleyes:
Well, they both have unique senses of humor, I'll give Tracey that.

Ahh, yes..... Legends of the Hidden Temple, Salute Your Shorts, and Clarissa Explains it all.

I was partial to Hey Dude, myself.

Thanks for the memories! :wavey:
