| 2110 | Article | Ruespieler | It's funny that you wrote this. A few months ago I was looking at the "cheap" toy aisle at a local department store, and was shocked by how little had changed. It really did bring me back, 90% of the toys there would have been right at home in my toy box, more than 30 years ago. Everything else in toys is different, but not that aisle. An you're right, the dollars earned on those same molds must be in the hundreds of millions of dollars by now. Has to be some kind of record. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 |  |
| 2109 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | I agree with that. Though that I saw when I read up on things is that the 90's for the earlier part of it was 80s part 2. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2108 | Article | SegaFanatic | This was me as a kid! I ALWAYS wanted to shop at these places; cap guns and Power Rangers ruled the aisles! Great article, vkimo! | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2106 | Article | Vaporman87 | I should say that I certainly don't disregard the entire decade as "not that special". When I say that I felt it lacked it's own identity, I didn't mean that to say it wasn't still special. I know for those spending their formative years in the nineties, they were the most special decade ever. Thankfully, that decade had many things carry over from the eighties, and those kids could benefit from the spirit of the eighties. Something I don't think millennials can appreciate. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2105 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think, even with these "dollar store" toys, you still get what you pay for. Even if it's a dollar more than the other package, the more expensive item is likely made a little bit better. My typical cheap toy choices were things like plastic insects, silly putty, or army men. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2104 | Article | Mr Magic | I think Kurt Cobain had something to do with flannel shirts being cool. I miss the Nabisco Thing, btw. What made the 90s great for me was playing Sega Genesis and watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network every day. Yep, it was a special time. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2102 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Interesting overview of a decade. You are about the same as as my niece, so when you mentioned Wishbone I remember watching that with her at age 4 or so (keep in mind, I was only 12 or 13). I used to call him "Fishbone" just to mess with her. I loved when Ghost Writer would follow, definitely more my style. I was never fooled by the shows that tried to make learning "fun" like Bill Nye or Beakman. At least Mr. Wizard was as boring as any science teacher, so you knew what you were getting. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2101 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 there was a Dad on The Hogan Family? I only caught it sporadically during the Sandy Duncan Years, but I could have sworn it was about a widow raising her boys. That's crazy. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2100 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @everybody All good suggestions. I considered Mr. Drummond and even Mrs. Garret (who spun off from Diff'rrent Strokes to The Facts of Life) as sort of a gender-bias challenging option, but in the end I had to go with the Dads I knew best. Jason Seaver (played by Alan Thicke, who wrote the theme songs to both previously mentioned shows) never really had a chance, he was just too cool for school to register as a Dad to me. I actually went back and forth between Dan from Roseanne and Mr. Arnold a lot, but a Dad from the 60s portrayed in the 80s was just too iconic to pass up. As for Tony, he gets points for having a hot daughter, but I never learned any parenting skills from the man. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2099 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Agreed on that. But since I was born in 91 I experienced the late 90s | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
