Generation X Nostalgia thread

[GTR-guy]

My favorite tv show when I grew up was Married with Children.
And as for cartoons, I watched TinTin, Looney Tunes, Goldorak, inspector gadget, Tom an Jerry, smurfs, Lucky Luke and Popeye the sailorman. (I know most of these cartoons are much older, but they aired a lot on T. V when I was young!)

No one mentioned the carebears yet? :-)

Hey, they're actually making a Tin Tin movie, IIRC! That should be promising. The show was always awesome!

exosquad, GI JOE and of course the always epic Ren and Stimpy... oh how it sucks that spongebob is what replaced ren and stimpy in terms of similar type of cartoon

i was born in 1980 so im a gen-x'r so i approve of this thread

Its saturday morning cartoons all over again

Totally. This thread brings back memories.

Now all the kids have these days are shitty shows like Hannah Montanna and the wizzzzards of waverly place.

I feel sorry for them.

WOW THIS THREAD FAILS SO HARD.
Seriously wtf? None of you that just posted are Gen X. Generation X (aka Baby Boomers) were born betwen 1964 and the 70s, or no later than 1982.

Rename this thread to "Gen Y nostalgia" if you want to save some face.

Well I'll be damned. All those years not knowing...ALL THOSE YEARS WERE LIES!

I can't change the main title though, is there any way of doing it?

Plus it's kinda sad that everything that has to do with our (assuming Gen Y now) nostalgia is tv show-related. You guys can't remember anything else?

Lego?
Action figures?
Beanie Babies?
Super Nintendo?
Cassette tapes?
Goosebumps books?
Push-pops and other candy?
Calling people Jews before knowing about the Holocaust (thanks South Park)?

DUde, this totally made my morning SO much better! I remember all these shows Ah, I miss the days of youth

[bellis_GTR]

ahhhh I remember watching Sailor moon when I was little before school. It was my fav show, behind that would be inspector gadget haha. Oh the good times. Now that Im older I wish I could be younger again. Weird how I say that now.

[MarusGTR]

Great success!

Can't believe I forgot to put Reboot in, I did a Reboot marathon a couple months ago since I hadn't watched it for a while. Both it and Beast Wars was wicked. OH SH*T, totally forgot about Shadow Raiders too!

Nothing like a show that had too much mature content so that it was pushed to 11pm so that no one could watch it

Samurai Pizza Cats! Nothing like a crossdresser villain and shooting cats out of a huge revolver cannon tower.

Oh and I'm sure some people will appreciate this:

Did you guys know the Power Rangers theme song was made by IRON MAIDEN. Listen to the solo.
