> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by RazzBaronZ \* > \*\* > …Stick Stickley in the Afternoon > \*\* I can still sing the little song for the address to send stuff in (granted, it was not all that long ago). I can also sing the Captain Planet ending song…and several other songs from other shows. Hmm. My old favorite shows and random stuff I remember: The Wuzzles The Noozles (seriously my favorite…I wish I could find tapes or something of it again…I remember the end of the series fairly well and it always reminded me of _A Wrinkle In Time_. I’d like to see if I still think that now) The Elephant Show jessica ---

Captain N and the Gamemaster! I only watched it after it became a live-action Nintendo tips & tricks show. After a while they got rid of the stupid guy and just had the red-headed kid on there, and damn was he cute. And I hated the ending to Noozles. ☹ ---

“Gummy Beeeears, bouncing here and there and eeeverywheeere…” And the Snorkles. And Duck Tales. And Tail Spin. And all the other Disney cartoons, like Rescue Rangers, and… _sigh_ Our scout troop leaders had a 90’s-themed weekend trip a few months ago. My god, the memories… 🙂 And the music! E-Rotic, Captain Jack, Mr. President, Aqua, DJ Bobo… And think, it was all only 10 years ago. ---

Guys, don’t you have any memories of **doing** stuff, not just **watching** stuff? What did you do with pogs, for instance? Not criticizing, just curious. I was in my twenties in the '90s, hanging out in coffee houses and recording everything on my camcorder. I had no awareness of what people younger than myself were doing, and now I’m curious! ---

ahhh I remember the good ol’ days… i miss them _sniff_ “Mr. Squiggle the man from the moooon…” that was the best show EVER! hmph… why did they have to cancel Mr. Squiggle… I loved him and the Blackboard… _sniff sniff_ but the best thing I remember about the 90’s was my favourite pair of Happy pants and fluorescent clothing being fashionable ---

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A masterpiece. I really miss the early nineties, but only because I was about five then, and everyone misses their around-five years. I remember the Turtles, Dinosaurs, Land of the Lost, Star Trek: TNG, Noozles, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Wolfenstein 3D, SimCity (the original, ur-SimCity)… I could go on. That “Brain on Drugs” commercial, the Cold War ending, the Berlin Wall collapsing, the Gulf War… God, if I could relive those days… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/90s-nostalgia-for-us-younger-people/115664.md?page=2)
