3895ArticleHoju KoolanderGlad to hear your story. Surfing cable was really an adventure back in the day. I loved Talk Soup on the E! Network and would watch pretty much anything on USA. Those Internet trips to the library sound like a blast, fan sites on Geocities, man. I made one for the fictional band Steel Dragon from the movie Rock Star around 2000. Proof that anybody could use that software. May 15, 2017View
3911ArticleHoju KoolanderCalifornia Dreams was a lot of fun. I enjoyed Sylvester's weasely schemes and Tony's "Sweet Googamoo" catch phrase. None of the songs e ever reached Zack Attack quality, but I can still remember a few of them. I rarely tuned into to T-NBC on Saturday Mornings to watch those other shows, especially after the first season of The New Class (ugh), but Saved By The Bell and Callfornia Dreams in syndication were appointment TV for me.Attack of the “Saved by the Bell” ClonesMay 28, 2017View
3912ArticleHoju KoolanderI definitely tuned into The Magic Hour based solely on his pop culture status, but Sheila E was the only point of real entertainment. I saw the promos for Keenan's show, but preferred to watch The Wayans Bros or Jamie Foxx show on the WB.Late Night FOX: Are You Ready for Magic?May 28, 2017View
3913ArticleHoju KoolanderAll classics. I think I played Monopoly more than the others, but had I owned Operation it would have been my favorite. I'm waiting for my kids to get older so we can get into games like Retro Manic, I hear good things ;)Board Games I've LovedMay 28, 2017View
3936ArticleHoju Koolander@OldSchool80s I actually owned a New Kids On The Block doll that had a similar cassette gimmick, though it just featured an interview with the group from what I recall. @Vaporman87 When I worked at Disneyland as a costumed character I actually met M.C. Hammer while dressed as Kronk. He was still rocking a Walkman and it was 2001! @jkatz Yeah, Joe Camel was the least of our concerns. All of our Hollywood heroes from Ghostbusters to Arnold were lighting one up back in the day.Antique Store Finds: RebornJun 09, 2017View
3937ArticleHoju Koolander"I learned it from watching you" and the McGruff Don't Use Drugs song were my go to PSA messages. In my Summer School Health class around 1998 we watched a tape full of the Snake Drug Dealer style messages featuring everyone from Pee-Wee Herman to Gene Simmons of KISS and we were just cracking up the whole time. I recently uploaded a bunch of PSA commercials from my personal VHS collection here if anybody wants a laugh 1980s Public Service Announcements: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG99Q5yS9Q6ymQSCBDhdqe1H0BPBWZrLrMemories of PDFA, and other PSA’s Jun 09, 2017View
3938ArticleHoju KoolanderI remember being baffled by my friend's SuperPro comics because he seemed like the antithesis of every comic book nerd's desires. We're reading comics because we suck at sports, stop rubbing it in our faces! I recently played Comic Zone for the first time after seeing the ads for years and I'm with jkatz, it's actually a really innovative game. But the character designs are completely of the era. Morph was definitely a dud character on the show, but I enjoyed playing with his action figure that came with a decapitated Wolverine head. My Five Favorite Super Losers of the 90'sJun 09, 2017View
3939ArticleHoju KoolanderFun movie with some great monologues that do make high schoolers stop and think about those roles that are forced on them by others. A bunch of my friends actually performed a scene from The Breakfast Club for a high school talent show, which has always given the film a special place in my heart.The Breakfast Club and Changing PerceptionsJun 09, 2017View
3963ArticleHoju KoolanderI had a feeling this would hit close to home for a lot of us. My story is far from unique as there are many great "Divorced Dads" out there. My Dad just happens to be the best ;) @Vaporman87 It's awesome that you got a new brother you liked out of the divorce. Is he the one in that hilarious video series of you trying to assassinate your younger brother and​ vice versa? @RickAceRhodes That is the dream of so many kids of divorced​ parents, what a story. @NLogan Your Dad story of video store drama is one of my favorites an his quote is such a "Dadism". Apparently Tarantula has one money pose and he's sticking with it.Divorced Dad MemoriesJun 22, 2017View
3964ArticleHoju KoolanderI feel like I was just 1 year too old to have taken advantage of the fun promised by DZ. I remember the commercials, but it always struck me as a place for little kids, so I never gave it a chance. Probably missed out on a great time and settled for family fun center/arcade entertainment.Discovery Zone: Memories of a Ball PitJun 22, 2017View
