Musical stuff-
Old Guns and Roses lineup.
Non-funny Offspring. The old "BEHEADDEED WATCH YOU SPURT LIKE A GARDEN HOSE" days. Remember Smash? Wheres the dreds?
Good Korn. That first album I listen too. A little of the second. Thats it. "Just do it damit. Piece of ****"
Other stuff-
Old style WWF trading cards+ eating the nasty gum that sometimes came in the packs.
The merchandise section of old style WWF magazine. Strike Force shirts!
Hills department store. From the snack bar, to the sports section to the video area. It was all done right.
They dirty magazines they used to have at the Sheetz in my area. Whenever that happens to a Sheetz I call that the "Wishy washy clean Sheetz" Every Sheetz should sell dirty magazines. Thats just how it supposed to be.

As someone who grew up watching cartoons it drives me crazy with the edits in older cartoons to make them more kid or PC friendly. I can understand why they do it, but it just feels wrong to me.
The fact that kids can't turn on a tv and see looney tunes or tom and jerry unaltered makes me pine for my childhood.
Also 1980's vhs cover art. That stuff was awesome.

Super heroes being good and villains being evil. Today it seems like every super hero has to put up with "Well...you might have saved so and so...BUT these other so and so's died, so you're not a good hero!" crap. It's like they have to fail even when they succeed or something, and it pisses me off. Why didn't Spiderman save the dorks who were mauled by a bear in Los Angelous when he was busy saving the bus from Hobgoblin in New York? BECAUSE HE'S THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY MORONS! GET THE LA HEROES TO SAVE THEIR OWN DAMN PEOPLE!
As for villains, it seems like every one of them either has to have some dumb Hayden Christianson-esque sob story where they "aren't really evil...just misunderstood/mistreated." The ones that don't have this crap (Joker, Lex Luthor, Norman Osborn, ect) are NEVER really given their come-uppence. I know these characters can't be killed because they are cash cows, but it seems today all we ever do is see them do their horrific acts...and their punishment is a slap on the wrist or a glare and hollow threat ("Be careful Luthor! You won't get away forever...one day I'll be there!"). Hell, in Osborn's case he doesn't even get that. I just want to see these a-holes suffer when their plans go ary...or maybe ALMOST beaten to death. I'd be happy then.

Christy Canyon.
She's still alive and not bad looking for her age but when she was younger she was sexy beyond belief.

ZAYRES. my god.. the one off of Shaw St/Qunicy Ave on the Braintree/Quyincy line or the one near Commercial's one RT 18 in Weymouth? The Braintree/Quincy one man! If I remember correctly, the Wal-Mart at the Hanover Mall was once a Zayre. I think you're right. My friends dad used to own the Garvey Olds which is know Columbia and I remember Zayres there WAY back in the day. Yeah the one in Quintree was abandoned for at least 5 years, but they did put in an outstanding chinese buffet next to it, which sadly closed a few years back, |

Oh my god look back at the answers made me realize how much I missed the mid to late 90's.
When Nick was full of awsome shows.
When MTV was about music. Headbangers Ball anybody? and had school shows like Beavis and Butthead and the Max.
Saturday morning cartoon where awsome shows and not this crap we have now.
Remember the TGIF line up
The days of Home Impovement, Drew Carey show, and Seinfeld where new.
The days of the monday night wars. Some of the best times as a wrestling fans.
CD/Movie stores. Remember when there was Music Warhouse or Blockbuster Music. Sam Goody. Places where it was a huge ass store with nothing but CDs and Movies. That it was the coolest to go and get music. These days with the digital music as much I love the MP3 players and stuff. Those where the times.
The days of the real ECW. When it was cutting edge and changing the business of wrestling.
I miss being a kid, the days where my whole street I had friends my age. We go and get toy guns and play "war". We used the whole street and houses during it. Good times.

I miss mid-90's NBA basketball. Me and a college buddy of mine used to always talk about it during the recent all-star games. We'd reminisce about Chris Webber's commercial dunking on Barkley, Grant Hill's tuxedo commercials, and of course those Penny Hardaway commercials with Lil' Penny.
I just miss being a kid and watching all those moments during the 1990's.

Speaking of commercials and Grant Hill, I miss the old school Sprite commercials. The hilarious ones, the streetball players that are classically trained actors, 1-800-Tallmen, Jooky (it's a party in a can), Grant Hill drinks Sprite. And of course the greatest commercial of all time |
