simply irresistible


This was one of my favorite commercials from the 80's. Even though the commercials back then didn't have a hundred million dollar budget they still worked.

This just in!

The Nickelodeon network announced  that it will feature a block of air time called "The 90s are All That" starting this fall. The good news? The block will feature shows like "Kenan and Kel," "Clarissa Explains it All" and "All That." The bad news? It will air from midnight until 2 a.m.. Get the coffee brewing it's going to be a all night er.

Here is a throw back show

This was one of the first shows on Nickelodeon and one of my favorite shows watch and enjoy!!!!!

Are gumbys coming back?

Remember the Gumby, a style taken from a well known cartoon figure. Who ever thought it was cool to look like Gumby. With today’s youth taking a interest in 80s nostalgia, maybe we will see a up rise in Gumby hairstyles.

Have you seen me?

Remember to be really cool you had to have a pocket full of coins. Remember beeper bill payment centers. Can any one tell me the code for I miss you (lol)? Beepers died when the cost of cell phones went down and then came texting. So we say farewell to you beeper and give you a proper burial.

Chef Cereal


In 1992  there was a most delicious cereal called Croonchy Stars. The cereal was based on the little known Muppet character called the Swedish Chef. I remember my sister and I would fight over this cereal. Why do they always have to get rid of the good things? Watch commercial below.

Nintendo Nes is still my gaming system!!!!


I still remember it like yesterday, Christmas 1985 when I got my first Nes system. It came with super Mario brothers and duck hunt combo. Flash forward  26 years later, yes 26 years later and now we have the wii. So my question asked is the original still relevant today? And my personal opinion yes it will never die out. With games like Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Tetris it virtually ruined a lot of us for new technology counsels. I'll take 8 bits any day over what ever there offering today. (Fill free to comment)
