I would like to think Batman: TAS is the beginning where I actually began to like good shows (and movies) vs. bad shows... The opening to the show The music is stellar: Batman The Animated Series Music

I had Madden 95. The easiest way to get a touchdown was to go for a fake field goal every damned. I didn't know about 2 point conversions yet, but I'm sure that worked every time too.

Video-game tie-ins for movies was a pretty '90s thing, too, come to think of it. I played the hell out of Independence Day and Tomorrow Never Dies on PS1.

I actually have one these, minus the back to the battery part. Also one of the buttons is broken. I’m not sure why I haven’t thrown it out.

The "neon lights" pop art Pepsi can was scandalous at the time because if you lined up two or three (or something like that) the background design spelled out "SEX"

The Pepsi was a blow job, I believe? Or maybe they both did? I dunno. Lots of hidden images back then.

Nickelodeon probably Had a lot to do with the while grossness popularity, what with sowing the seeds in the 80s with You Can’t Do That on Television. By the 90s every show had to have boogers and barf and farts even if it wasn’t necessary because at that point it was literally the identity of Nickelodeon.

I've got a feeling that Gross Era had something to do with the relaxing of Children's Programming rules. I can't really prove it, but it seems like a start

I think losing the battery cover was pretty common as the thing went thru batteries so fast you never had time to put the cover back on before having to replace them again.

I mean, there's that Simpsons episode where the Cable Ace award goes to old Starsky and Hutch episodes. I was thinking about when DVDs were annouced. I think it was 96? I remember most of the complaints where based around vhs was able to record and DVDs couldn't. Also a lot about quality and expense. But really, as soon as it came out, people were loving it. I remember getting a DVD player for Christmas in 1999 with Gladiator. That was the start of an addiction. Glad I started selling them off before the market really fell apart.

FilthyImp posted:Likely because no one was chucking the VHS player out when they got a DVD player, or getting rid of their VHS/blanks. Yea, i certainly kept my vcr and so did my parents after we got dvd players. All my anime was on vhs tapes. When I worked for HMV, we still sold blank VHS tapes up until at least 2010, though the last movie I remember being released on vhs that we carried was I think The Two Towers, if not Return Of the King.

That’s the thing, isn’t it? I’m pretty sure I almost always just used it plugged in, rendering the portability aspect completely pointless except that grandma probably wouldn’t have let me hook anything up to her actual television. Somebody told me people are gutting nomads and making little gaming emulators or something out of them? I’d look into it if I had any relevant skills.

Not sure how completist it is, but here: http://lyrics.wikia.com/wiki/LyricWiki:Lists/Songs_Featured_In_Beavis_And_Butt-Head The ultrashitty bit is that the re-releases of B&B don't include any of the good parts, which was them sitting on the couch making GBS threads on MTV's videos and target audience. They just have the interstitials where they wander around the neighborhood and antagonize the proto-Hank Hill neighbor.

Back when B&B, or other shows that used licensed music, came out, no one considered that in the future someone could own an entire series and not take up a wall. So, MTV had the rights for broadcast, but for home video sale they'd have to renegotiate, this would include royalties, and just be a nightmare considering how varied everything was.

wesleywillis posted:I've got the "complete**" B&B collection and it has a bunch of the videos, but they're on a separate disc, not part of the episodes on disc. That's because that set is just the three Mike Judge Collection sets, plus the revival season. The Mike Judge Collection was a three volume set from the mid 2000's, which only included 2/3 of the series. I will forever cherish my Time Life set that I bought a million years ago because it has some episodes that weren't included there. The other issue I always had with the Mike Judge Collection was that it broke up some of the continuity, for example Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas is split up, and the letters to Santa Butthead are now a special feature (other than the standard videos missing, the Time Life DVD keeps it in it's original context) Really I hope someone like Shout Factory will get around to putting out a Blu-Ray of everything in original form, with music rights restored. It's just a dream, I know

Just say "gently caress you, fair use," and put it out anyway and deal with the inevitiable lawsuit. There's hard to imagine a clearer legal case for fair use.
