This thread keeps reminding me of that Coolio song. C'mon, you remember...

It's probably just old fogeyism on my part but I perceive more artistry in those songs than most modern stuff coming out now. The parts of speech songs are all stellar. The baby boomers had a special gift for music, IMO. But I was soaking it in every Saturday morning so maybe I'm just brainwashed in favor of it.

The Muppets! I know Jim Henson died but God I loved that show. It seemed like every celebrity in the world made at least one appearance. Piiiiiigs Innnnnn Spaaaaaace!

Beeker. The two critics in the booth. Classic. Too bad this thread reminds me of how old I am. :frusty:

just thought of a toy I had,I think they outlawed them,called click clacks or clackers,anybody remember those? 2 glass balls on the end of a string you banged together,I couldnt find a video of anybody doing them that really knows how,the trick was to get your hand moving up and down real fast and see how many times you could get the balls to hit each other,I'll never forget that sound

What can I say? He was every 8 year old girl's dream back then.

At least I didn't subject you guys to a montage of Andy Gibb, Donnie Osmond and Leif Garrett clips.

Did anyone else in here collect .... gulp.... beanie babies?

I'm guilty of it, thinking I was going to strike gold. I once got smacked with a chair trying to rush into hallmark to get some stupid bear that came out for 5 bucks, that was worth like 500 bucks at the time and is now worth somewhere between jack and shit...
