Nostalgia thread: To my millenials - How accurate is this? 🤔

[MenacingMonk]

The Pokémon part hit me and had me

The craze was something. The first movie.

Also, a cereal bowl with a straw attached? Real ones drank from the bowl.

Sick day on a Monday was capped off with a live taping of WCW Monday nitro. Cuz when ur nwo, ur nwo 4 life!

Who remembers tv on Sundays? No cable. shyt was boring asf. Infomercials and I love Lucy marathons. At night x files re runs and Stargate SG-1.

I was telling my kids you guys dont even know what its like to be bored.

Suzanne summers and girls gone wild infomercials always had me board

i ain't watch no soaps or game shows my grandma watch those.

Jenny Jones always had some baddies.

Maury when he had the bad kids or the fat kids or the tranny episodes...

Jerry before they made them stop fighting...


pbs was in the mix too....reading rainbow and learn to read. Arthur Carmen san diego and zoom. ghost writer mr Rodgers wishbone and em

In the early morning right after PBS turned off the kids shows, but it was still too early for Jerry Springer , the only interesting thing was price is right. If you were particularly nerdy , then you could also watch who wants to be a millionaire reruns or family feud reruns.

Preach


There was also a time, during summer or sick days where I developed a working knowledge of Spanish because those Mexican channels used to have whole 30min blocks of women in bikinis dancing or random scantily clad romance game shows .

my mom was a stay at home mom and if she was working she would take time off if one of us was sick

 

[TheJet]

You gotta throw the news in there at some point

 

[Fanservice]

Not accurate for me. I was born in the 90s and had cable. I was watching Boomerang and Toon Disney because daytime tv was ass

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Talk shows and music videos

That’s my life. I’d definitely watch shyt like Price is right and Jenny Jones and stuff, don’t let me catch a good video on bet or mtv… and it be that time when they give you a good run of like 4 or 5 songs you like Man those were the days

 

[KillerPups]

I don't think Maury had paternity episodes back then. When I started watching, he was doing the sending bad kids to boot camp.

and the fat babies

@ 4:00pm Oprah.

During football and basketball season it was great. CBS and NBC had the NFC/AFC packages and then Fox got the NFC in 1994.

NBA on NBC was must watch TV, especially with MJ, Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing etc.

Now late June through the end of August....pure trash. Nothing on TV except some Ebby Halliday real estate infomercials, random azz "4 easy payments of $39.99....but wait there's more" type shyt and some Byron Allen interviews talking bout "coming up.......Dennnnzel Washington." Usually found some westerns though (Gunsmoke and Bonanza). Usually went to church early but after that was booooring.

I would say 90% correct. What they are missing was that around 10am/11am they would show I Love Lucy Re-Runs as well

I remember because everytime I got suspended from school I would watch I Love Lucy Marathons

Gilligan's Island and Knight Rider were in there somewhere.

The 80's babies really might have the only legit cases of "back in the XZY was so much better"

Being born in the early to mid 80's had you growing up in an epic 3 year decade span of creativity and technology.

Facts.

We also had:














On PBS we had








Reading Rainbow, Sesame street of course

Nickelodeon: Are you afraid of the dark, all that, Kenan & Kel, salute your shorts, etc...

Saturday morning cartoons - X-Men, Wild cats, sci fi channel anime

HBO after Dark (Real Sex), Skinemax (Erotic Confessions) hitting that back button on mute to switch over to Seinfeld if i heard my parents coming, Spawn, The Maxx, etc....
