4050	Article	Vaporman87	I think the saturation of "ninja" in the late 80's was it's peak. Even I had a full on ninja outfit (as ordered from one of the many ninja magazines I had), including foam nun chucks, rubber throwing stars, and a sword. You couldn't escape it. Everyone wanted to be a ninja.		Aug 22, 2017
3433	Article	Vaporman87	I think the sheer amount of General Lee merchandise that was produced over the years definitely helps you get a better perspective on the marketing behemoth that was the Dukes. The show was huge. I wonder if any of the stars got a cut of the profits from the sale of all that licensed stuff?	Random Dukes of Hazzard Merchandise	Mar 11, 2016
966	Article	Vaporman87	I think the show that most captured my attention as a kid that had a particular focus on wildlife was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I can remember coming home from church on Sundays and sitting down on the couch to enjoy that show. I can still hear the show announcer ringing in my ears, introducing the show following commercial breaks. Great show, that was.	Long Lost 90s: Really Wild Animals	Jan 30, 2014
4568	Article	Superman	I think the thing I miss most about the malls of my youth is Waldenbooks. Book stores, in general, seem to be so hard to find these days, but I love them.	Mall Memories	Sep 22, 2018
5599	Article	Vaporman87	I think there are levels of disappointment that could be discussed here, but I'm going to stick to the less personal ones... more focused on product and school life than life at home and relationships. I was very disappointed when Masters of the Universe abruptly went belly up in '87. They had some pretty cool things planned that would have been awesome to see on shelves, even though I was growing out of collecting them around that time. I was disappointed that a school levy that would have created a brand new high school that would have been ready by the time my age group arrived there did not pass.

1534	Article	pikachulover	I think there really could have been a Simpsons inspiration. This story happened in 1994. The boys had the star hats and I think they either had wands or fake candle props.	The Worst Christmas School Production in the World	Nov 28, 2014
3906	Article	ThatDudeintheHoodie	I think there were three, but I remember playing this one.	Edutainment Computer Games of the 90s	May 27, 2017
4134	Article	Hoju Koolander	I think this is a front runner for contest winner. Living vicariously through your original creation? That's just great.	Russell - The Black-Eyed Simpson	Sep 15, 2017
2621	Article	Vaporman87	I think this may be my favorite article of yours so far. You're so right. It's not about the shows or commercials themselves. Like you said, they can be watched at any point on YouTube (and in some cases, HERE!) But to find all those other little details... local ads, local station promos, etc. And then to watch them all just as they aired together, like for a moment your TV has stepped back in time and is showing you what was on at any given moment, somewhere in the US. Then you start to wonder what the person recording the tape was thinking or doing while watching these shows and such play out. What was the purpose? What shows were they hoping to capture the most? Where is that person now? There just so much wrapped up in the simple act of watching the old recordings of someone else. I have a feeling Caps has extensive experience with this, as all of his video submissions seem to come from these types of recordings, local ads and all.	VHS Television Treasure Hunt	Sep 09, 2015
3197	Article	mickyarber	I think this may be my favorite story I've read here on Retro-Daze. I read it while Away in a Manger was just playing in the background, it it came darn close to bringing a tear to my eye. That or it's from all the saw dust in my shop today. Just an excellent read. I think I'll be reading it to my daughters along with The Night Before Christmas this year. Thanks for sharing.	Christmas Yuleogy	Dec 12, 2015
