| 2008 | Article | jkatz | Sounds like the show really left an impression on you! I can relate, a few years ago I bought the complete boxed set of Batman: The Animated Series and was finally able to watch full episodes after years and years of relying on vague memories from when I was little of how good it was. | Feb 17, 2015 |  | |
| 2010 | Article | Vaporman87 | @jkatz: So much of what Batman is to us today was culled from that one series. That's a testament to its impact on fans. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2012 | Article | Silvervix | @jkatz: It left a really great impression on me. At first I wasn't even motivated to track it down, but when I saw episode 1 again, everything became more clear. I was too lucky to even get to see the episodes I saw when I was little, because otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to watch this. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |

| 181 | Video | blueluigi | What the hell is this show... and when did it air? I could think of so many things that's wrong with it. | Peppermint Park | Jan 24, 2013 | |
| 182 | Video | Vaporman87 | Indeed. Very strange. The poor voice acting only serves to creep you out more. | Peppermint Park | Jan 24, 2013 | |
| 2003 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great article Hoju. This really hits home, as I am in the same boat as you. My memories of sleepovers past are golden. We had a lot of fun, though more innocent fun. Probably the most ornery thing we did was squirt fake blood on my best friend's sister while she slept. LOL. But we do live in different times. Kids are allowed to get away with far more than ever before, and if you don't want your kids possibly exposed to that, your choices are hard and limited. A great deal of the decision to allow sleepovers depends on the lifestyle of the parents of the friends, and that is not always an easy thing to discover. With the invention of the internet, and social media, you can get a little more familiar with the parents AND children, but even that has its limits (parents aren't always going to be forthcoming about their faults and shortcomings on the internet). One thing that may help you better determine what to do, is to know that as your kids get older, you develop a level of trust in them. My daughter (our oldest) has been a very trustworthy kid and if she continues to be, she might be allowed a limited opportunity to do the sleepover thing. She has had a friend sleepover at our own house, and we are familiar with the grandparents of this other child (with whom she stays while in our area - not her parents). I would probably be okay with her staying at their house. But likely not her parents, whom I know very little about. My best memories of sleepovers involve similar things to what you mentioned. In earlier years, we would enjoy gaming on Atari and Intellivision, the NES, and watching music videos. Sometimes we would enact drama in our school using G.I. Joes. I would be Duke, and my crush would be The Baroness. Later on, we would start our "careers" in audio recordings, making movies, and doing outdoor activities. They were good times for sure. And yeah, we would try to stay up as late as possible. Very rarely did we make it through the whole night though. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2011 | Article | vkimo | Yeah, I don't think I would let my kid do a sleep over. Kids could sleep over our house because I know I'd make sure it was all in good form. But with kids having smart phones at 9 years old I just don't want them all looking at nudie sites upstairs rather than playing SNES like I did. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2013 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Glad to know we're not alone on this one. @Vaporman87 Yeah, talking about the "hottest babes" in school was definitely a topic during sleepovers. A lot of times we would go through the yearbook and rate the girls, but acting the encounters out with action figures is a great twist. @vkimo If only our kids could stay in the sweet, safe glow of the SNES, but alas "That Internet" comes a callin'. | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2014 | Article | vkimo | @Hoju - I think you said it best in your Quest for Playboy article where it was a taboo rite at first and now it's like a bowl of Werther's at grandmas just there for the taking | Sleepovers | Feb 17, 2015 | |
