Ok, so I got the idea for this thread by popping over to the OTP thread and I thought it would be awesome if we had a place to chat about or gush over or go over shows/guys/girls/things we were obsessed over as little ones.I'm not at the point of admitting my early crushes (Ryan, Kids Incorporated - still waiting for your call), but I can think of a few shows that I watched religiously as a little girl/tween (back before the term was invented). David the Gnome - still the best cartoon ever Kids, Incorporated - Dude. YouTube this shit and tell me those kids weren't talented. Tell me. Mickey Mouse Club - Oh yeah, every day after Kids, Inc. I so wanted one of those jackets. Like bad. Are You Afraid of the Dark? - Yes, yes I was. Hey Dude - I don't know why I even bothered watching this except for the fact that it was on around the same time as... Salute Your Shorts - DONKEY!!! Camp Nowhere - oh, Andrew Keegan how I loved you! (and um, who didn't want this movie to come true) Ok, enough for now. Your turn. Edited by bluejeanbaby, Aug 20 2009, 05:46 PM.

I did watched those Nickelodeon ones. Some I don't remember so much because I think they were a little out of my league at the time. Some Disney I did watch (when I think it was still good...) The Jersey, Famous Jett Jackson, SO WEIRD, and there were also some shows like Flash Forward and Growing Pains that used to air on there, but they weren't original shows. I'm sure I'll recognize some other's that people post!

This thread is !!!I loved Kids, Incorporated and Hey Dude and Eat My Shorts! Those were such great shows! I also loved You Can't Do That on Television, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Jem! And Legends of the Hidden Temple and Double Dare were great, too! Have you guys ever visited RetroJunk? It's amazing! There are so many TV shows on there that I used to watch as a kid!

Jem!! I so wanted to be her.Double Dare - Legends of the Hidden Temple - I so would have won on that game. Now? So not the case. And of course, I can't forget Scooy Doo. Velma was my very first crush. Love her. |

Old school Nickelodeon and Disney channel ![]() They was so much better 10-15 years ago. I look at what's on those channels now and I think, "Seriously?" In reality they're probably no better than what I watched growing up, but still... my shows were better.

There was a new version of "Guts" on Nickelodeon a bit ago. My siblings remembered it, sorta. But they DIDN'T remember Legends of the Hidden temple! *gasp* The last game scared the shit out of me! LMAO! Edited by twins1729, Aug 20 2009, 04:24 PM.

Oh, man I loved GUTS! And I agree, A_P. I look at the crap like Hannah Montana and think, "Um, why?" but then again, that's probably what my mom thought every time I tuned in to Kids, Inc. |

I have no clue why, I swear! LOL. I must have watched some horror movies with teddy bears or something when I was a kid and it warped me for LIFE. Just...when they would surround people in a circle and start chanting "WE care! WE care!" FREAKED ME OUT! I did own Gloomy Bear, though. He was kinda cool. But I kept him locked away in the closet at night. LOL. Warped kid I tell you. |

I'm blaming Teddy Ruskspin. Remember him? He talked and had moving eyes and was creepy as all get out? I never got the creepy vibe from them, but then again, I wasn't a warped kid. ![]()

There was this little toy I had, man I had to have been 3. It was a small, round creature. It was blue/green, but it's fur was lighter. When you turned him on, his eyes flashed and he made this "woowoowoo" sound. Freaked me the FUCK out. My mom used to scare us with it. EDIT: I had an Alf doll that scared the shit out of me, too!!

I've heard of it and have seen an ep or two, but it was one of those shows that my parents deemed "too old" for me as a child. |

Choose Your Own Adventure If you like dark, creepy tunnels, turn to page 64. If you don't like dark creepy tunnels, turn to page 18. *thinks, I don't really like dark, creepy tunnels, turns to page 64* Page 64 - By turning away from the entrance to the dark, creepy tunnel, you have fallen down a concealed mine shaft. You die. If you didn't like the ending to this story, go back to the page you came from and Choose Your Own Adventure again! *goes to page 18, grumbling over dying* |
