I am not sure if this is considered campy; however my Uncle and I chuckle about it to this day.  "Simple Blueprints" my rear end. I must have been 6 and my uncle 24 when I received this toy. It took days to assemble.

I never realised it before as N Snyc were simply part of the background zeitgeist of the 80s, but good lord they were weird and ugly looking. If you were a kid in Australia, every morning you watched Agro's Cartoon Connection. There's no way it would ever get aired today because the guy who controlled the puppet took every possible opportunity to take the poo poo out of his co-hosts and be as filthy as possible without actually saying anything that could get him thrown off air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFG5vfDp_Q0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPD_RHVFlys&t=33s For some reason youtube idiots thought it necessary to put music over the start of the videos, but it stops soon enough.

When we got Sky TV, Rescue 911 was one of the main programmes on the reality channel. The one that I can recall most vividly is the one where these kids are playing in the back garden and decide to make a fire with a petrol can, and one of the boys sets himself on fire.

Maybe this has already been mentioned, but: These bitches. With elbow and knee pads, of course. All those Active Cool Young Adults in NYC parks in movies or whatever had these. My mom bought me a pair in a Moscow train station, and my sister and I tried to go out and learn how to rollerblade probably a whopping three times before they got shoved in a grey plastic bag and were forgotten. Also, I remember these were one of the groupies for XTREME SPORTS, along with skateboards and BMX. There's a girl on my campus that uses these as transport, but when you're in college, basically anything goes (longboards? yep. Razor scooters with motors and seats? gently caress yeah). Like I did when I was 8, I keep getting a feeling that if I just bought a pair right now, I'd be a natural at it and not look lame at all! Inline skating, your star faded too quickly.  Also, for the kids that didn't have  CABLE TV , I loved this show, Beyond Belief, with Johnathan Frakes. It sort of resembled the Twilight Zone in the sense that it was an anthology, but it was basically spooky stories (usually involving ghosts, etc) with America's Most Wanted-style reenactments. After all of the little stories were shown, there was a answers-to-the-quiz type segment where he'd say whether or not that story was based on a true story. My dad would let me watch it, for some reason, even though it scared the poo poo out of me and on some creepy nights when I'm alone I STILL worry that in the dark I'll pass a mirror and see my reflection BUT DEAD AND THE KILLER IS RIGHT BEHIND ME. After seeing that episode I couldn't pee at night for weeks. All secondhand mirrors are haunted, mark my words. Speaking of TV shows my dad watched, Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman (pioneer lady saves people!), Early Edition (guy gets tomorrow's newspaper, saves people!) and Walker, Texas Ranger (you know this one). My sister and I would stick to Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules. Kevin Sorbo

PhotoKirk posted:*sigh* I have often thought that the 90s (and the 80s) where the worst thing to happen to cameras. I still get people to this day contacting me wanting to sell me their Canon S-2000. When I explain to them (in a much nicer way) what they have is a lovely knock off they get mad at me. I've even see some "Panasonic" video cameras that were just radios.

A guy from the rural mountain town I grew up in was on Rescue 911 after he got stung by a swarm of bees and had to drive himself down a steep winding road to get help. His face was all swollen and he could barely see and he had to take... THE S CURVES.  My brothers and I thought was hilarious cause it was the same road we would bomb down on our badass bikes. The guy was interviewed and took part in the re-enactment but he didn't get to meet Shatner. Tough break, man.

My friends and I used to watch it in a big group, and we had a running theme where we tried to convince each other that every single segment was real. I remember one where a kid got knocked out of a 3rd story window and fell into an open top truck full of pillows. When Commander Riker told us it was "FACT" we burst out in cheers. I also watched Rescue 911 as a child. While other kids were watching Eureeka's Castle, learning about sharing or some poo poo, I was learning that death lurks around every corner.

Shows like Rescue 911 and Unsolved Mysteries scared the poo poo out of me as a kid. I remember being young enough watching those that I didn't realize they were re-enactments. I remember thinking "Why isn't the camera guy doing anything?" And the absolute scariest part of Unsolved Mysteries would be after the segment, when they'd say the guy was still at large with Robert Stack doing the "If you have any information about the whereabouts..." while that loving music played.

I just wanna say thanks for the Rescue 911 conversation. I have had the theme song to that show stuck in my head for literally years without having a single clue where the hell it was from. I am so relieved to finally know. I too watched that show, and it apparently really dug itself into my mind for me to have remembered the song for so long. The worst episode to me was the one where that guy was spray painting a house, went home and just up and died died from the fumes. It and the episode where the woman had her car go nuts and get stuck at 100 MPH for an hour or something were some serious poo poo. Unsolved Mysteries is responsible for me believing in, and being loving terrified of, ghosts and aliens, until I was much, much older. gently caress that show.

I was convinced that I could tell what kind of stories were going to be on Rescue 911 that night by watching the credits: if the last scene before the show started had a fire truck in it, there was going to be a story about a house fire and I would refuse to watch it. Rescue 911 was one of my favorite "grown up" shows when I was a kid, along with Star Trek TNG. I told my mom she was confused and wrong when she told me that the guy from Rescue 911 was on Star Trek.

The one that disturbed me most was a documentary series Great Crimes and Trials, which for some reason was broadcast on the History Channel before it became the Hitler/Nazi Occultism/Conspiracy Theory/Bible Code/Ice Road Truckers channel. I'm not sure why I started watching it, but the episode on Richard Ramirez (which I must have seen when I was about seven) ended up putting me off it for good.

Okay, various collectable cards and the X-Men animated series have been mentioned, but did anyone else's elementary school go through a phase in the early 90s where collecting X-Men cards were a thing? I want to say it was around the time of the cartoon, but the artwork was based on the comics and the cards were really glossy and nice looking. Each one was about a different character.

Not those, but the Star Wars card game was a thing for a few years in the mid-90s where I lived. I don't think most of the kids even knew how to play the game, we all just bought the cards like mad.

I remember buying X-Men cards when I was young, they were great. Of course, my young self was obsessed with collecting any trading cards. Some of the cards I would buy were TMNT, G.I. Joe, Batman, STTNG, as well as baseball and football cards. The last two were weird for me, since I really didn't like watching either baseball or football, I just liked collecting the cards. Around that age I worked a paper route, and I spent all the money I made from it on trading cards and SNES games. My favorites were the G.I. Joe and TMNT cards.
