Forest Glen Posted September 13, 2010 Share #51 Posted September 13, 2010 Speaking of the 90s, I forgot to mention what I call, "The Saturday Ritual." First, I got up around 8am to watch cartoons (like Pokemon) until noon. I actually hated Pokemon. However, Fox they had the Marvel cartoons (Spider-Man, X-Men). On the WB (CW) they had DC cartoons (Batman, Superman). I'm not even sure that they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jashawn R. Posted September 13, 2010 Share #53 Posted September 13, 2010 I sure dont know much about the 90's, since I was born in '96, but I still love that decade, even though I couldnt really experience it. I listen to 90's music, watch 90's shows, etc, just to experience what I missed.....It sure did look like fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, after cartoons ended, we all heard this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeV5ncCjJu4 The early '90's version of the 'soul train' theme is ok. Seriously is still on?:confused: Not to get off course again but if you want to hear IMO among the best TV theme (at least as an instrutmental)nothing beats the oringal Soul Train theme debuted in 1974.:tup: http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/mfsb-tsop/93392ee85d4724e1740393392ee85d4724e17403-215362568924?q=mfsb%20tsop&FROM=LKVR5>1=LKVR5&FORM=LKVR2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted September 14, 2010 Share #55 Posted September 14, 2010 As a Yankee fan growing up, it pissed me off when I saw my beloved Pokemon ruined in favor of some stupid Mets game on WPIX. Back when it was called that. As I grew up, I learned the company that dubbed most of the anime on WPIX Americanized everything and cut anything referring to death. Main character in Yu-Gi-Oh had a mom, but for some reason the company thought she was dead (or evil) and did not mention her. Oh no, a guy hitting on women and failing hard! That's not kid safe! Oh no, a European sounding kid doing things in his laboratory! That's too much! Oh no, babies messing around (hated this show) while their adults make adult jokes! The kids will know what they mean! Oh no, SpongeBob made a joke about dropping the soap! Let's ruin the show very slowly. Oh no, Ren and Stimpy isn't politically correct! Let's ban the show! Oh no, there was too much adult material on Rocko! Quick, get rid of it! God, I hate kids today. Parents don't give a crap and the media is shit.

B35 via Church Posted September 14, 2010 Share #56 Posted September 14, 2010 Hey, don't knock the anime. Well I do agree the ones targeted for kids are bad, but the ones airing late at night are pretty good for the most part. But yeah it is sad overall that 'cartoon' channels are showing live action stuff. It loses relavence. Toon Disney was a big loss. I mean it's not like they needed to change it since they had ABC family and Disney channel. Now other than the weekend late night airings of Superman, Spiderman, etc, there's nothing good on Disney xd. It's not me knockin anime, as it is me sayin cartoon network shows waaaaay too much of it now (after boomerang became it's own network, anime is what cartoon network filled its empty slots with)... guess it was too much of it, all at once, for me.... The only anime series I really got into (outside DBZ) was Naruto.... about boomerang though, the original boomerang was the shit; this watered down version we have now, I don't know about... on another note, the disney cartoons & nickelodeon I was never a fan of anyway... back in the 90's, for me, it was cartoon network (back when it was channel 63 on cablevision!), the cartoons that aired on the fox kids club on saturdays, the cartoons that aired on fox (and ch. 11 sometimes also) b/w 3-5pm on weekdays, and the cartoons that came on early sunday mornings (on channels 9 & 11).....

SubwayGuy Posted September 14, 2010 Share #57 Posted September 14, 2010 Anime sucks. Bring back the old school Looney Tunes any day of the week. They were good enough through the 1990's, why don't people think they're good enough today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted September 14, 2010 Share #58 Posted September 14, 2010 Anime sucks. Bring back the old school Looney Tunes any day of the week. They were good enough through the 1990's, why don't people think they're good enough today? Gotta disagree on the anime to an extent. I've found a couple that have really hooked me. But you're spot on with the Looney Tunes. They were almost ahead of their time. Now that I go back and watch them I catch on to all those subliminal messages which I feel were meant to be there. Other than that they just delivered the jokes perfectly and the music was well orchestrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTARegional Bus Posted September 14, 2010 Share #59 Posted September 14, 2010 about boomerang though, the original boomerang was the shit; this watered down version we have now, I don't know about... Actually not much has change when the boomerang channel premiered back in 2000, Other then post-Cartoon cartoon and DC cartoons stuff it hasn't changed at all. Actually it resembles alot like the Pre-1996 cartoon network ,minus the commercials and Looney Tunes sadly. If you are talking about boomerang the block that air in the mornings that was Awesome. I miss Toonami . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted September 17, 2010 Share #61 Posted September 17, 2010 The 90's was a good decade. I went from a kid to an adult at that time so there were a LOT of changes during that time. The last years that we didn't have an internet. My love for trains grew as my love for buses started to wane a bit but I still loved them. No hybrids! LOL. I kinda prefer the 80's just because for me as a kid then, I had a lot of fun and personally people had more style at the time and there was waaaay better music as a whole decade then what the 90's had. I loved music between 90-95 but it's more the late 90's where I started having issues with it. Even with all of that, I think it was a good decade.

B35 via Church Posted September 18, 2010 Share #62 Posted September 18, 2010 ....Bring back the old school Looney Tunes any day of the week. They were good enough through the 1990's, why don't people think they're good enough today? This.... You don't get too many timeless/classic (anything, anymore), but cartoons especially... Your great great grandchildren could watch those things & enjoy em throughout their childhood... at least, I think so. These "futuristic" cartoons (I call em) are over the top... do you hear the vocabulary used in these things... like, do they honestly expect the average elementary school kid to know what the characters in the cartoon are talking about.... the way cartoons are going nowadays, I'd say they're more made/tailored for adults anyway... whether ppl. deem that to be a good or bad thing, well that's all moot.....

TrainFanatic Posted September 18, 2010 Share #63 Posted September 18, 2010 "Rugrats", "Hey Arnold", "CatDog" were all good cartoon shows from Nick that were created in the 90's. Man how I miss them. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In year 1990, I was still in High School and other than doctors and a few NYPD cops living in Brooklyn at that time, nobody then, I knew had cell phones. Just pagers and beepers. And yes no Internet as Al Gore miracle idea was still a few years away (joking). By 1999, almost everyone I knew had cell phones. Plus that year was the time my family (I was living with my parents at that time)had gotten internet access for the first time. So the '90's, the best memories for me other than college and lots of dates from my female classmates LOL , was the tech revolution of that decade. I do agree with you Knight Ridder that overall for music/tv/movie/culture, the '90's overall were lame. Give me the '80's any time.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
