I love how they teased that Bruce Lee's daughter might maybe one day kind of step in the ring. Also the weird way they would dress up for combat (Hakeem The Machine would like take off his fake cyber poo poo), or just hang out and bro out at the gym before being called to fight.

It's weird but cool how Star Trek: The Next Generation laid the groundwork for a LOT of 90's shows because it was the first(?) one to rely exclusively on syndication for revenue. All of a sudden you had a lot of studios cranking out hour-block action shows made on the cheap to get those sweet, sweet syndication dollars. Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, a bunch of interchangeable sci-fi shows, generic contemporary action wanderer #452...

I watched so much of syndicated tv back then. The Crow series, ST:TNG, Highlander, Xena...

And Xena, heck poo poo I just agreed with Randaconda twice here

That Eurotrash post reminded me of the huge numbers of, I guess sexual lifestyle programs? Real Sex is the best example. Maybe some stuff was good, but almost all the segments were about some fetish thing, and its not really fun to watch people get spanked over and over. I do remember a segment on "Creating an Erotic CD-ROM" which in itself sounds 90s as gently caress because I don't think anyone seriously used CD-ROM since the turn of the century. Anyways, it was a bunch of old hippies in an apartment that probably smells like patchouli moaning at a microphone shaped like a head.

Found some old childhood photos, hope they're ok to post. Remember officially licencd store-bought Halloween costumes looking NOTHING like what they're based on? They usually made up for it by putting a picture of the original character directly on the costume so everybody knows who you're supposed to be.  Ah yes, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, well known for wearing frilly pink dresses with her own face on them. Also using a wand? Timestamp for this one says February of 2000 but having a birthday party at McDonalds and receiving a framed drawing of Sailor Moon as a present is still pretty 90's.  I still have it hanging up

Was essentially 'here's some weird sex things happening in European countries'. I'm sure there were other topics, but I don't remember. When I moved to the UK in '97 they'd play it late at nights on Channel 4. I think it was all reruns by then. Back on Christmas day, my kids were talking about 90's stuff so I remembered the Army of Lovers segment on Eurotrash and shows my kids some AoL videos for peak 90's Eurotrash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_ehC2gNaBo

80s costumes could be repurposed for a slasher film. The loving smocks were even plastic.

I was in a store a few days ago and they had a Packard Bell laptop. That's the 90s PC IP you want to bring back to a nostalgic consumer base. Just release lovely knockoff laptop called a Tandy and I'd probably be more tempted to grab it.

twistedmentat posted:I think most cable channels were just random stuff in the early days. I mean, there's that Simpsons episode where the Cable Ace award goes to old Starsky and Hutch episodes. There was a throwaway joke in that episode about "accepting this award is the son of the guy who played Huggy Bear". In real life, the son of the guy who played Huggy Bear, Justin Fargas, grew up to play in the NFL.

Woodstock '94 and Woodstock '99. One seemed to be a well-received event, then the other turned into a hell on Earth. I wished I cared more about both at the time to really pay attention to the marketing and development and execution of both.
