| 2538 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great story mass! What a odd and interesting way to finally end up with an NES. The year I and my brother first got an NES of our own was probably the greatest Christmas (as far as sheer number of awesome presents) I ever had. Not only did we get the NES and games, but also we each got our own ATVs! It was crazy. I'll never forget that Christmas. | Aug 18, 2015 |  | |
| 2540 | Article | onipar | Wow, what a cool story! I wish I could remember how I got my first Nintendo, but I guess it was just a mundane occurrence for me. Loved reading this one, cheers! | How I Got My NES | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2541 | Article | mickyarber | Very fun article! Brings back a lot of memories of my own and what I went through to get mine. | How I Got My NES | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2544 | Article | Hoju Koolander | One of the most original stories I've read on the site. if there is a more roundabout way of getting a Nintendo, I've never heard it. Seriously, loved it. | How I Got My NES | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 3832 | Article | shakin steak | Great story, I'm reading this for at least the 2nd time now. I also had trouble getting a Nintendo at first, and it wasn't because we already had an Atari. I don't remember what ultimately happened, sad to say. But I think when my dad asked if we would spend our own allowance money and we said yes, he decided to cover the difference. I presume my parents discussed the issue with other parents and realized it was a trend that couldn't be ignored like action figures and cable TV. | How I Got My NES | Apr 16, 2017 | |
| 3833 | Article | massreality | @shakin_steak It's always interesting how important products of our past come into our lives, especially when you are a child and have no control. | How I Got My NES | Apr 18, 2017 | |
| 5403 | Article | splatkillwill | I got my first NES a little over 10 years after that. The PlayStation and N64 were the thing at the time. But I just remember 2 different uncles and one family friend raving about Super Mario Bros. I ended up getting one of said uncle's NES (and later his Apple //c) with Code Name: Viper, SMB/Duck Hunt, and The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World. My parents didn't like video games so I played in the garage with an old UHF/VHF TV my grandparents let me have from a shed. | How I Got My NES | Mar 16, 2021 | |
| 2548 | Article | Vaporman87 | I absolutely picked up on this phenomena, even in my youth. This was especially prevalent when stations would air back-to-back episodes from completely different seasons. The characters would seem totally out of whack. This was such a fun read. I liked this line: "Sure, he won, but that's not really something that should boost the kid's confidence, y'know? It's like giving People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive cover to the St. Bernard from the Beethoven movies." Sometimes the character development would go in a different direction too. Maybe a character would become more bossy or become the "leader". Sometimes one character would begin to become the focus of the show, leaving other characters with the crumbs. These types of blatant changes would sometimes annoy me. Other times, it might seem to suit the direction of the show. I suppose the cast and crew of a show don't really know what the audience will respond to better until it's been on the air for a while. And then they attempt to adjust things to suit what they believe is the desire of the consumer. All part of showbiz. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 20, 2015 | |
| 2549 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Yeah, that different seasons in sucession situation was a great way to notice those changes. The other scenario is when the breakout character takes over the show, like Urkel or The Fonz or when they ditched the main character siblings on California Dreams and made Sam, the exchange student the main character. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2551 | Article | Mr Magic | Let's not forget Joey Gladstone from Full House. There are times when he isn't smart or doesn't dress smart either. It's the cartoon he's been watching. When they say cartoons will rot your brain, they ain't kiddin'. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
