I know i posted PushingUpRoses Pete and Pete video a while back, but she's done a bunch of vids on Nickelodeon shows. Salute Your Shorts https://youtu.be/mYI5p88mHOE Hey Dude https://youtu.be/vQfYtmkpczU Doug https://youtu.be/K7GR2dYykfk And she's done a bunch of vids on Are you Afraid of the Dark https://youtu.be/euXCmCQFqO8 And Goosebumps https://youtu.be/BzeT7v-x2Po She's also probably the youngest person who cares about Murder She Wrote, but that's more of an 80s series (even though it went well into the 90s).

I was also the perfect age for and very into Space Cases when it aired - which I only realised much later in life had Jewel Staite in it as a rainbow-haired girl from one of the moons of Saturn (maybe? all the kids were from different planets) whose screams could shatter glass and stuff!

MTV had a documentary thing they did about Spring Break and as per Ed Lover, the tapes from that were destroyed.

I remember Clarissa explains it all, was probably 12 or so when I watched it, really liked the show. Used to air in the mornings on TV during summer break, which was when they had a bunch of shows aimed at kids, everything was packaged inside a bigger summer break show.

Yea Clarissa was great, and I never realized how relatively progressive it was at the time. Those 90s nick shows were punching way above their weight.

I didn't actively watch Clarrissa but that was because I didn't have cable when it was airing. I think I saw maybe 3 episodes between the beginning and summer of 1994 when we got cable. At that time it was nearing the end of it's run, and I just didn't go out of my way to watch.

twistedmentat posted:I like how she points out that Clarissa was shown to have a computer and it was not considered strange or made her a nerd, it was just something she did. And now having a computer is still seen to be be the sign of a nerd these days. A lot of people only use smartphones/tablets now and while yeah they're just portable computers people don't think of them that way.

It's my favorite way of being 'progressive', which is having something be totally normal, not drawing attention to it. Clarissa uses a computer. She has a platonic friend. She wears funky clothing. If characters in the show don't give two shits, why should you? Sam's character made me envious as a 10 year old, because I wanted to have a friend like Clarissa. Not because she was a girl, but because it was cool the way they hung out.

 Do they even make battery testers anymore? I remember my dad had one, and we'd have a big box of batteries that we'd dig through and test them to make sure they were good.

I remember that poo poo from before it was built into the battery. The plastic shell packaging had the tester on it, completely useless as who the gently caress is going to keep an old battery packet around for a couple of months to test an old battery. edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SydgQDuJLYc GrandMaster has a new favorite as of 12:55 on Aug 13, 2020 |

They really did. Pete and Pete for all its deliberate (super fun) weirdness tackled some fundamental kid/young teen stuff, as did Roundhouse. ...and early All That still stands up to kid-aimed comedy without being too cringey or feeling like a product of its time.

When I was in high school (mid 2000s) using a computer/the internet for anything other than schoolwork was considered at best kinda weird and sad, and at worst a sign that you were pathologically detached from reality and probably dangerous. It only abated a tiny bit towards the end once bebo and facebook came around, and people started getting the hookup on pirated movies and TV shows being passed around school on burned CDs. Even then, using facebook still carried this sheepish air of "ugh yes I know it's a saddo internet freak thing but I promise it's actually kinda cool".

I used to pester the poo poo out of mom to buy Duracells just so I could use that goddamned feature. Pretty sure the 9-volts had the package testers, too, but I could never get those to work. Pretty good posted:My impression is that computer destigmatisation either barely happened or never took place at all for a lot of people, since there was an easy excuse to not bother re-examining those hangups in the proliferation of smartphones as something that supplanted an existing "socially acceptable" use of tech while incorporating functionality that had previously only been available on PCs. I blame the Sidekick for bridging the gap between cell phone texting and smartphone Internet surfing. Those things were all the rage in high school and college until the iPhone debuted. Having a computer you could literally stick in your pocket also appeals to people who couldn't or wouldn't lug a 14-inch laptop around.

Found this in a comic from 1996: As someone who loves to collect TV, the idea of paying $1,527.52 in 2020 money for the entire run of a series makes me queasy, especially considering I just spent $84.78 in 1996 money for an 8 TB hard drive specifically intended to hold more legally-acquired television than I might ever be able to watch, even in ~endless quarantine~

Seriously, being able to stream shows still feels like such a luxury sometimes. I remember trying to get as many DS9 episodes on VHS as possible but there were like 2 episodes on each tape and I think the entire series was like $900 or something equally painful.

They carried on doing that poo poo with DVDs for a while. They'd release a series, but not as a box-set, you had to buy 45 discs with two episodes each.
