My God, that is hilarious!!! I was the BIGGEST Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan EVER!!!!!!!!!! And a very faithful full house watcher too!!

Don't forget Golden Girls...that was awesome. Not to mention the fights at school on whose better b/w Shera and He-Man. Who could ever forget the REAL Sesame Street, and (for those of you up here in Canada), Casey and Finnigan from Mr. Dressup

*sigh* *sniff*

Good ol' days. I could go on and on...My little Ponies...Jem...Funhouse(I SO wanted to be on that show)...and when the original Nintendo came out.
