Ahh the 1990's

Post Reply New Topic

I first found myself as you all know me now, in the 1990s.

I think you meant flashbackISM not flashbackGASM. Just saying. I don't know what it means when you put gasm at the end of a word.

I was born in 1984 but many things from the list don't refer to me, for I'm not American. I relate to most of the things from analogical lists made by Poles, though. Like Sailor Moon which was all the rage in here - every girl watched it. And generally all those old anime series from the Polonia 1 channel. I liked especially all those magical girls ones.

But well, let's take a look now at the list above.

Pinky and the Brain - yes, I loved it.
The Bel Air Prince - yes, I did use to watch it but not religiously.
Goosebumps - I think I watched it, but as for kiddie horror stories, I liked the Shadow Zone and The Fear Street instead. Ah, and the School Near the Graveyard - assuming it's the original title in English. I don't think Goosebumps was even translated into Polish.
Plastic lunch boxes - aren't they still popular now? I did have one (it had Mickey Mouse on the lid, I think) but I never used it.
"Daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky" - well, in Poland we have different nursery rhymes.
I liked Captain Planet. and the Power Rangers as well, though not as much.
SNES and the like... well, here we had the Pegasus console, every 90's kid had one. I did, too.
Home Alone... in Poland it's always on TV before Christmas - some sort of informal tradition. We know it as "Kevin Home Alone".
As a child of 6 or 7, I liked Ninja Turtles in its cartoon version.
I remember Tamagutchis in the 90's but I never got one, I think they were too expensive.
I liked Carebears, too.
And troll dolls.
I never had a walkman but I always wanted to.
"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was a TV show I watched.
Macarena was a big hit, indeed.
Every weekend when I was 10-11 mom and me went to rent movies on VSH tapes. The last time I rented one was in 2001.

I was born in 1992.

I do remember some of these things, but I was pretty sheltered. I watched Doug, Pinky and the Brain, and the Rug Rats. I did not watch the rest of these things on this list because my family didn't have cable. I remember my parents watching Dinosaurs sometimes, but I was too young to be interested in this show. During this time pretty much the only show that interested me was Winnie the Pooh. (I was probably only three years old)

Does anyone remember the Fisher Price cassette player? It was brightly coloured with a microphone on it. It was very likely that you did if you were a small child at the time like me.
