By now, you have the hunch of my undying love for cartoons and superhero-themed shows. And I am going to keep them coming everyday! The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is another '90s kids show that got my attention back then. I believe I am not alone in this. To date, I still get goosebumps and nostalgic pangs every time I watch the Show online. Back in the days, I could spend much of my time binging on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on cable. Once again, let's take a retro trip back in time to the sweet decade, the mid-'90s, when superheroes were the in thing. The background of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a Japanese/American superhero children TV series premiered on Fox Kids in August 1993. The...

Now, I was just minding my own business online, then Boom! I landed on this website called Gumby World! Can you imagine a whole webpage with hundreds of photos and articles dedicated to Gumby? Crazy right? Yes, I was a mad fan of Gumby back in the ‘90s, but I never imagined someone could go to this extent. The website that brought back all the memories of Gumby. I couldn’t resist writing about it today. For those who watched Gumby when it was released back in 1995, you must be feeling the nostalgia already. But to those who didn’t and are wondering who the heck is Gumby, don’t worry, I will give you a brief background of Gumby the movie. Most of you may be aware of Gumbys Pizza instead. We will, later on, talk about why using Gumby...

As you all know, I am a ‘90s Nostalgia freak! Today I want to dig into a show that was not so well received by everyone back then, the Big Bad Beetleborgs. Well, i may not rank it among my favourite TV shows, but again, it was amusing enough when I was a kid. It kept me glued for the entire two seasons! When I watched it recently from an adult’s perspective, it was a goof! I guess it was just not meant for the adult audience. On the other hand, I would give the Beetleborgs Toys a 10/10. They kind of managed to win more kids and adults alike with the monophonic sounds and creative designs. A brief review of the history of Big Bad Beetleborgs The show lasted for two years, with two seasons: Beetleborgs Season 1 The show features...

Let us take another walk back memory lane to the days of Super Mario 64. Back in the days when owning a Nintendo console was an outstanding achievement. Today, Video game consoles are so many and very affordable. You can also run them on your computer and still enjoy the game. Playing video games has been my hobby. One that I intend to keep for a long time. I think I am addicted to video games. I once tried to shut down the controller for a month, but it was damn difficult. I just couldn’t do it. I was back on it in a week. I still play loads of games. Recently, I have been feeding my nostalgic tendencies with games that were released in the ‘90s and 2000s. And boy, the old classic games were just great. Both in design and fluidity of...

The Simpsons Review By Alexander Money Name: The Simpsons Genre: Animated sitcom Created by: Matt Groening Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, and Sam Simon Initial release date: 1989-present What more can I say for a television show already beloved to death by millions of viewers? I turned 7 when I first started to enjoy this animated short and I have seen every episode. I would like to say that there is a unique mix of influences that blend to make The Simpsons the greatest show imaginable. This Animated Sitcom was most popular between 1990 to 2010 by viewers of all age groups. Homer Simpson - Dad of the Family We have one of the most favorite TV characters of all time, Homer Simpson, with his iconic quote "Doh!."...

The ’90s was amazing! Pokémon, Animaniacs, Pogs, Furby, BeetleBorgs, Tomagatchi, Ren & Stimpy, Hey Arnold! Powerpuff Girls, Y2K, Scooby-Doo, just to mention a few! Nothing has been or is ever going to be better. Today, let’s talk about Animaniacs, one of the best-animated series of the ’90s by Tom Ruegger. Thank God it is now available on Netflix; at least you can catch up with the nostalgia of yesteryears. We will also look at some facts about Animaniacs that you probably didn't know. Animaniacs has seen better days; it has managed to remain relevant throughout all the generations. No wonder it was one of the top animated series of the ‘90s. Animaniacs had an addictive factor. Thanks to the intelligent choice of words, groan-worth...

Image: Courtesy McDonalds Before the Coronavirus pandemic, I went to McDonald's with my kid cousin; she got a Dory Plush. I just bumped into the toy today and thought…ahh…let me talk about them today. But since the list is long (1979 – 2020), I will break the post into two. I will start with the 1990 – 1998 era. For many kids of the '90s, McDonald's plastic trinkets included in Happy Meals were the best gifts of their childhood. My favourite was the Furby and Tamagotchi mini Keychain. But if you missed this, last year, on their 40th anniversary, McDonald revived the toys but for a limited edition. Happy meal toys have made remarkable development since they started to sell children's mills back in 1979. eBay is packed with hundreds of...

A new month is here with us, and it's only three days old, and guess what, it's the best time for a TV show review. If you are like me and grew up in the 90s, then you remember the Wishbone. The TV series was a well-crafted story that was highly enjoyable. Do you remember this old Wishbone bumper? I just landed on it on YouTube and it reminded me of this old classic series. For those of you not familiar with the show, Wishbone was an adorable dog that lived with its owner Joe Talbot, in Oakdale, Texas. He loves adventure and classic literature. He daydreams about being the lead character from stories of classic literature. Later he is referred to as "the little dog with a big imagination." He is my best character in the show. This...

The Powerpuff Girls is yet another interesting cartoon of the '90s, by one of the best filmmakers of our generation. The show really did good in giving the girls a voice and making them feel part of the community rather than a lesser gender. The show premiered in November 1998 and aired for six seasons. The animated series revolves around three girls: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, who had superpowers. They live in the fictional city of Townsville in America. They use this power to fight their enemies and defend their city. The girls are frequently called upon by the city’s mayor to help fight nearby criminals and villains using their powers. A brief history of the Powerpuff Girls The show first developed as a short cartoon...

I bumped into this Twitter page today! A huge pang of nostalgia hit me. It is about the good old MySpace Memories. And then I thought, why not look back at those good old days. Am sure am not alone in this! Immediately I rushed to check my MySpace page, but unfortunately, It didn’t go through, either I have been deleted, or MySpace is just rude to me. It says my username does not exist! And that my email is not associated with any account. I find this strange because I was their number one fan back in the mid-2000s. They should treat me better. I just raised a ticket. Anyway, we are the generation that was lucky to see technology evolve from basic communication and data transfer to the now complicated and creepy Artificial...

Image Credit: Charles Holber From my past articles, you must have guessed that am a big fan of cartoons. Today I wanna take a look at the Freakazoid F!, another amazing classic show of the '90s by Warner Bros. Post your favorite cartoon, maybe we share preferences. Back in the days, I would spend weekends watching Freakazoid on cable. Although the industry has evolved over the years, I still get the nostalgia of those childhood days when I watch an animated series. Now, 25 years later, I still binge on these shows online I think my passion for Freakazoid has something to do with the fact that it had some resemblance to Animaniacs. Freakazoid ran for 24 episodes. It was in 1995 when the Warner Bros Animation and Steven Spielberg...

“Mina and The Count” is one of those Animated shorts that was never developed into a complete series. Although I feel it had the potential to be an award-winning show. The short was featured in Cartoon Network’s What A Cartoon! Show and Nickelodeon’s Oh Yeah! Cartoons. A Brief History of Mina and the Count The “Interlude With a Vampire” was the premiere episode of Mina and The Count Show that was featured in the What a Cartoon! Show in 1995. This was the only episode that was picked for by Fred Seibert. The plot was about a Seven-year-old Mina Harper and her adventures with Vlad. Vlad is a 700-year-old vampire. Vlad accidentally bumped into Mina while searching for Nina Parker. Other episodes revolved around the vampire, know...

Yesterday, I talked about the POGS, and the feeling I get when I look back in the days when we used to play the original game. While enjoying teleporting my imaginations back to the ’90s, I remembered the Furby! And by the way, if by any chance you still own one of these today, it may be worth some good bucks now. Yes, that chubby furry robotic toy of the ’90s that has managed to exist through all generations and still remain relevant. Historical Background of the Furby Before we embark into the history of Furby; for those who don't have a recollection of Furby, this video will remind you of exactly how the original Furby looked and sounded! In November 1998, at the American International Fair by the American toy manufacturer Tiger...

Do you remember POGS (aka the Milk Cap Game)? Those who enjoyed their childhood in the '90s must have a recollection of this classic game. One of its kind! The game that made us look like poker freaks! Teachers thought that POGS is gambling. I don't know how true that is, because I have never gambled before! Do you have nostalgic memories of playing POGS with your buddies? I do. Did You Know…? Did you know that the POGS milk cap game may be coming back soon and this time on mobile? The game was most popular with children in the early and mid-90s. I remember with nostalgia about how I used to play the game with my estate friends. It's better than board and video games that what we used to believe. The affection and time I spent on...

Pokémon…ahh…Just mentioning the name stirs a whirlwind of nostalgic goosebumps. I am sure we share this feeling with the thirty-something year old geezers in here. If you did not enjoy your childhood in the ‘90s, you could still catch up with the show ‘I Choose You!’ which comprises of all the nostalgic memories that Pokémon has. As the die-hard fans of the original Pokémon continue to age, the makers have been trying out new things like Pokémon movies and TV shows. Though I still have a strong liking to the Pokémon games as opposed to the movies and TV shows. Pokémon nostalgia: The Video Game In the ‘90s, it was easy to trade. That was just when Pokémon had hit the scenes. All you had to do was to use the link cable. We had to...

I love the nostalgia of old childhood cartoons. In my last review of the Cartoon Network, I challenged you to guess my age based on my favorite cartoons. Today, I will discuss another era, an era of Nicktoons, also called Nick. The effect of Nickelodeon cartoons on me will last forever. Cartoon taught us a lot, they made who we are. And that is why we have that good nostalgic feeling when we look back at the good old ‘90s cartoons. Although am making a genal assumption that you all loved cartoons, I believe many of us did. The 90’s kids would fight for “Hey Arnold!”, “Rugrats,” “Rocko’s Modern Life” and more The later 90’s and 2000s kids will say SpongeBob and Courage the Cowardly Dog were the best shows of their time. The...
