Title: Nostalgic TV Shows Thread
Post by: Natef on February 14, 2010, 06:09:49 PM: Since the Beyblade thread was posted, I thought, "what are some other TV shows were I familiar with as a kid? And what about you?

Here's one of mine, Cubix:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14655anonymous-cubix-9904636.jpg)
Cubix was a saturday-morning cartoon that aired on the Fox-Box before it became 4-kids TV. It was about this kid and his friends who had their own robots, one was Cubix, who could rearrange itself into different shapes or forms.

I remember once there was a commercial that said: "Cubix will go back into the Fox-box vault and never coming back!" in a cheery voice. That was a big f*ck you in the face to me.

What were your favorite shows as a kid?

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on February 14, 2010, 09:36:20 PM: WMAC Masters; basically the same concept as the Mortal Kombat TV series, even had a handful of the same actors. The first season was about teaching aesopian lessons to the kiddies, and the second revolved around a plot to take down the WMAC league from the inside.

ZOMG BILL NYE

I loved Bill Nye the Science Guy when I was young.

Same here. When I was a freshman, I was desperately trying to understand what the hell electric current was, so I replayed the episode and understood it immediately. <3 BILL NYE FOREVER.

Now, I hated Cubix (It was shown on CN sometime ago) but damn, that IS one hell of a FU.

Of ACAMS' list I've only seen Pink Panther. Good times.
Watched clips of The Critic. Too awesome.

American Gladiators was the first show I watched that compelled me to stay up till 2am in the morning to catch it on oddball cable channels when it wasn't available during prime time. Probably altered my sleeping habits for the rest of my life. :P
