I buy and sell old magazines on ebay, and it's like there's a line in mid-late '96 where all the teen girl magazines suddenly became nothing but cover to cover "SPICEGIRLSSPICEGIRLSSPICEGIRLSSPICEGIRLSSPICEGIRLSSPICEGIRLS!"

Frame it in a gallery. The only conspiracy theory I actually believe in a hundred and one percent is that those costumes they had made for Sonic and Crash Bandicoot promotions still exist somewhere on this planet. This fuckin' thing:  It's still out there somewhere.

Oh god, my parents made us stop at a Big Dogs Outlet on the way to my Aunt's wedding. Why yes, that is where they picked out clothes for a 6-year-old to wear at his aunt's wedding.

Now, it might just because I was too young to remember the 80's all that well and wasn't alive at all in the 70's, but didn't it seem there was a glurge of Made for TV Movies/Miniseries in the 90's? Especially mid 90's? These multi night events, like adaptations of The Odyssey, Merlin, Gulliver's Travels, Alice in Wonderland, etc. Lot of public domain works. I know the 70's had Roots, and it actually WAS a Major TV EventTM, but it seems like most of these others just sort of fizzled and were never as epic as they claimed to be, and really could be crammed down to one night, maybe 2.5 hours, if they had less commercials. Was there more then, or was it just that that was when I was paying the most attention/would have actually watched them? They definitely petered out in the 2000's, though, right? Since Prestige TV started becoming a thing, so rather than waste all those millions to get Movie Stars to be on your TV show just for ~4 hours, you can now convince them to do it for a whole series and it was no longer considered "slumming it" on TV.

Up until the mid to late 90's, most programming on the major networks consisted of sports and movies. They all had a sitcom night, and a drama night, but everything else was a movie. Thinking back upon the TV movie thing, in the 90's at least, most of them seemed to have filled roles that modern TV has mid-season replacements for, as I seem to recall them being winter and summer things.

I can’t say if there was a glut of them in the 90’s off hand, but I definitely remember made for TV movies still being done into the 00’s. Even places like Comedy Central did a few around 2002-2003, and I’m pretty sure the kids channels like Nickelodeon and Disney did a bunch of TV movies as well (Either stand alone works or stuff based on a series). A lot of them, and a lot of miniseries that would have been on networks previously, seemed to move first to regular cable. A&E had a ton, IIRC, and I know networks like TBS, TNT, and USA did some as well, and then places like HBO did a number of both made for TV movies and miniseries.

I remember watching the IT miniseries in 6th grade (would have been 1990 or 91). It aired over 2 nights. I went out and bought the book the day after the first part aired, which started a Stephen King obsession over the next couple of years. I still have that paperback copy of IT.

Oh yeah, Stephen King mini series were huge then, too. It seemed like if it was either too long for a theatrical movie...or too crappy (or in the case of The Shining, cause King didn't like the OG movie version) it got a mini series.

I liked the Nightmares and Dreamscapes one they did on TBS in the mid-00’s, which is half the reason I know miniseries kept going at least till like 2005 or so.

I never watched IT at the time even though I was about the same age as the first goon above, grade 6 or 7. I borrowed my friend's copy of it though. And forgot to give it back......... Still have it I think though it's quite tattered now. One thing that I remember dying to see but still never have is the Ken Burns documentary on baseball. I've always dug the really olde tymey baseballe. Was it as good as I can remember the commercials trying to make it seem?

Storm of the century scared me a lot when I was a kid. I remember one about there being like a fairy tell like kingdom in another universe that people traveled between. It was like a 6-10 part miniseries I'm thinking 99 or 2000.

The only part of that Baseball doc i found interesting was the first part about early professional teams. About how Blacks and Whites would play together but then someone made it a think and the leagues became segregated. Also the best ye olde timey baseball thing is Conan's bit (Yes I know this is from the early 2000s) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS39vMhag-A I watched the Civil War one too, but later on I found a bunch of the historians interviewed said their parts had been edited, altering the history. Specifically Eric Forner was not too happy about it. This was posted in the Trump LOL Thread but gently caress this is 90s as gently caress.  Those shirts, such white trash with money clothes.

That was a great watch and I was not expecting there to be a performance of Suede’s Animal Nitrate in there that I hadn’t seen before! I like that the commercials are in there too, one of the things I’m looking forward to whenever my work opens back up is going into the periodicals archives to see some sick 90s ads

It was one those random associations that led there too, she mentioned she was dissapointed the corner store stopped selling little debbie's, which made me think of Camel Walk by Southern Culture on the Skids. Then that video made me want to find old tapings of 120 minutes for more of those beautiful 90s music videos. Edit: I never noticed at the time but the performance stage is totally the same studio they filmed The Grind at. Macdeo Lurjtux has a new favorite as of 02:08 on Oct 12, 2020 |

This isn’t even close to true. From the 60s into the 90s, far, far more 30- and 60-minute dramas and sitcoms populated the big three networks’ airwaves than movies during prime time. Movies were the exception not the rule, until late night or special events. The movies have survived in other formats; most of the TV series are lost to time, in most cases deservedly.

I can't tell you the number of times I saw this ad for Bonk's Adventure when reading comics in the early to mid 90's: Never played it, or any Turbo Grafix 16 game for that matter, but drat if this ad doesn't make it look confusing as gently caress. He's a...caveman? Who fights sort of dinosaurs, but also needs to save a dinosaur princess...then there's a tractor thing, and power flowers? Also he hits things with his head? Sure.
