Well, One thing I remember being obsessed with was the original Power Rangers. Then they made turbo force and it became crap T_T Personally, I thought Power Rangers were pretty cool growing up, until Ninja Force came into view... then things spiraled way downhill from there for me. Wild Force was the last "good" Power Rangers team for me because it introduced a completely new concept for it's time: the Pink Ranger being replaced with the White Ranger. I mean, the color pink was so stereotypically used as a staple Power Ranger color for one of the girls up until Wild Force. It was a refreshing new concept to see a female White Ranger for a change. I was hoping they would do it again... but that's when Ninja Storm came into view and messed up almost every single thing I knew and loved about the Power Rangers. In fact, the seasons after Wild Force pretty much stunk, except Mystic Force for some reason, which I found halfway decent despite me being 18 after watching some of the episodes. Of all the PR series I've seen and those I haven't seen, I have a few things to say: 1. I r sad => no Time Force 4 u! 2. I r mad => Wild Force reran and ran and ran (for about 7 times for about 3 years until they showed Ninja Storm) 3. I r happy => Ninja & Mages FTW! 4. I r relieved => Moar carz 4 us W00T! 5. I r depressed => Rangers from Turbo stayed for 3 effing seasons. 6. I r YAY-ing => lol uber cross-overs! 7. I r uber YAY-ing => W00T Red Rangers unite!

I remember this one show that I had on VHS. It was cool. Virtual worlds, giant robots, and surprisingly not some sort of Power Rangers rip-off. You mean.... VR! VIRTUAL REALITY! TROOPERS! VR! TROOPERS! I watched that show. It had a Japanese guy on a computer who talked to them, and the main villain owned iguanas.... *reminisces* Molletman: Ummm... Megas XLR is hardly nostalgia. it was on, what, 4, 5 years ago? XD

I prefer Masked Rider over VR Troopers... Or that other one with them Beetle shaped vehicles. Yeah! That was better in so many ways than one.
VR Troopers was just an uber-bad knock-off of Shaider which was, IMO, much better than it's American counterpart.
Anywho, I was listening to me radio 2 days ago and I heard a very nostalgic and uber-techno-esque tone.

I randomly fell on a video of a TV show I used to watch EVERY DAY. It was called ''Les Zigotos''. It was a show where teams of 3 students (Elementary level) had to complete a mini game in 2 minutes. If they succeeded, they were headed toward another small, 20 second long game. If they succeded that mini game, they were awarded a gold medal, if they failed, a Silver one, and if they failed the first game, they were Heading toward the ''Cabastrophe'' (A machine where random thing fell on the loser's head) In the later seasons, there were also a Special for friday where all the best teams of each 4 previous days faced off. Here are some of the games I could get on youtube. I'll give you the original french name, then (I'll try to translate them) Here is the ''Cible du donjon'' (Dubgeon targets) Which was one of my favourite at the time. uk.youtube.com/watch?v=USCOuRUlGtE&feature=relatedThe goal of this game is simple: Hit all target using some sorth of Rice sacks EDIT: Note at 0:39 and at 0:46. One of the teammate made a double and TRIPLE target take down using one sack. And the record for this game in the show's history is about 15 seconds. This is the most popular game, the ''Kara-boxe'' (Don't need to translate that one) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TcLhpLliVd8&feature=relatedAnother simple game: You must hit the glove-shaped target with your fist, and the the same for the foot-shaped one. However, the ''rooftop'' is moving in this one, hindering the team. One of the game I used to like a lot, ''Le plafond qui gigotte'' (The moving rooftop) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sr9tPs31p1w&feature=relatedThis one was one of the hardest game: The rooftop is moving (Hence the name) And the team must put 15 water-filled baloons on the hooks (which happens to be hanged on the moving rooftop) A funny one ''678 Saucices bien cuites'' (678 well cooked saussages) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=m28iGgOCiMU&feature=relatedThis one is much harder that it looks. The team must put 678 fake sausages in a big container. This one required a LOT of calculation, the ''Bascule a cube'' (the scale 'o' cubes) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E12VZBrHYw0&feature=relatedThis one is very hard. Two kids (Of different weight) sits on one scale each, while the team must put ALL of the cubes/cylinders on the two scales. I think you can guess the rest o the rules) One of the games I hated the most: ''Cage aux lettres'' (Cage ''o'' Letters uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E12VZBrHYw0&feature=relatedTwo out of three teamates must look in the cage to find the right letter (must also match the shape) so the third member can recostitute the word Another boring, yet popular one: Golf Tropical (Tropical golf) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=V_xxFgeZojA&feature=relatedTeamate must pick a ball, put it on a mark, and sink them in the holes. However, they are hindered... you will see if you watch... Another untranslatable one, the ''Zig-zag Zoulou'' uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cyj6p_VUAuw&feature=relatedThis one is also one of the ''Easier said than done'' type of game: You wear big bags. You must put a big block (per teammate) in the bag with you, And you must make your way to the other side of the small track. Then put the three blocks where they should. The last game I'm going to show you for now (Until I find any more): ''Le mur du croco a plume'' (The feather crocodile wall) uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IgSRkeX9QV8&feature=relatedThis one is easier than the few previous ones: You climb a small ''wall'' to pick up some feathers, you bring them to the croco to put them in the eggs in the croco's mouth. Well, those were memory, and I'd say very few kids from that time in the province of quebec didn,t want to go. Unfortunately, My school was never chosen for this show

Well, in Mexico, there's a program just like that.
En Familia Con Chabelo (In Family with Chabelo)
So, there's this guy, Chabelo, who acts as the MC and stuff. Kids from the audience get chosen, come down and play some sort of minigame, sponsored by some candy company popular here in Mexico, if they win, they usually get a bike or so. If they lose, they get a consolation prize consisting on a ginormous bag of candy.
Then someone famous gets invited to sing a song.
At the end, the kids who won their minigames are called for something named the"catafixia".
There, the kids may exchange what they've won for what's behind one of three *MechQuest* MYSTERIOUS doors. It may be an uber home theater, an awesome mountain bike, or a bunch of hobos acting like... some sort of thing. Srsly.
It's a lot of nostalgia for me, even if it's still airing.

Speaking of Mechquest Mysterious Johnson. I just remembered the glory days of Ghost Busters. Ahh... How I miss the day when cartoons didn't have to suck to make a network famous.
You know... Those cartoons like Thundercats or The Centurions.
It's just *M.Johnson* very MYSTERIOUS how they decided to cancel them and replace them with something like Wayside or Camp Lazlo.
Me thinks that only Nick has noteworthy cartoons nowadays, but with Wayside and Mighty B, I'm having more doubts than I should.
List of cartoons not to watch:
Skunk-Fu Camp Lazlo Iggy Arbuckle Mighty B Wayside (I just have no choice but to watch it... It's personal) Shaggy & Scooby Doo Get a Clue Yo Gabba Gabba! Let's Play Nice (Seriously... It's creepy beyond hell even for a children's show) Wizards of Waverly Place
Class of 3000 grows on you and Legion of Superheroes was short-lived.
List of recommended shows:
Fairly Odd Parents (If available) Squirrel Boy (entertaining, but still, short-lived) Transformers Animated (Only if you were a fan since birth) The Batman Teen Titans Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide Drake & Josh (If available) iCarly The Suite Life with Zack & Cody
List of neutrals:
Ben 10 My Life as a Teenage Robot Kim Possible Any cartoon made by MARATHON Shuriken School Class of 3000 Lizzy McGuire Even Stevens Super Sentai/Power Rangers and all related to them (Masked Rider, Ryukendo, "Sazers", Ultraman, etc.) SpongeBob SquarePants (What? Some people still like it, ya know?)
I just forgot some toons, but that's that in a nutshell. Don't flame me for misplacing shows. It's all IMO.

I personally don't really have much to remember. My childhood was filled more with video games than television... though I remember times when I used to sit down and watch game shows.
I used to watch The Price is Right and Family Feud with my grandmother all the time... and when I got home from school, I'd watch Jeopardy (and occasionally, Wheel of Fortune) with my parents. In the interim, I'd watch Legends of the Hidden Temple. Almost religiously.
From there, it was the occasional cartoon (including, but not limited to, Sonic the Hedgehog (the more serious one), Earthworm Jim, and Ren and Stimpy)... Power Rangers (though I got tired of it after its third iteration)... oi, Big Bad Beetleborgs. Geez, the stuff I used to watch...
After TV, there was video games. I grew up playing both sides of the Sonic/Mario debate (my first Sonic game was Sonic & Knuckles... complete with a Sonic 3 strategy guide)... And Bubble Bobble. Man, the hours of Bubble Bobble with my brother on my dad's old Commodore. He was a lot better at that game than I was, but I could still clear the first two Sonic 2 special stages with my feet, so we were even.
... Now I'm starting to feel old.

Sonic the Hedgehog (the more serious one) Hmmm... Underground, maybe? Or that other one with them Beetle shaped vehicles. Unless I'm mistaken, that's the title I'm looking for. Let's not forget: Power Rangers + Ultra Man + Tim Curry = EPIC! I miss these commercials from Cartoon Network... T_T *Mojo* Let's see how calm you are when I destroy Cartoon Network... NOT!

I remember when I was 6 and 7 years old. Watching Transformers early in the morning, watching Ren and Stimpy at night. Those were the godly components of my life. Oh, and also watching Fox Box every saturday morning. (Sings Ultra Man theme Song.)

Specify the Ultra Man season plz.
There are about 15 with Nexus, Cosmos, Seven, Max and Taiga to name some.
Speaking of Ultra Man, I remember that we had a channel on cable that showed Chinese dubbed movies. 2 of the most played movies during weekends were Anpan-Man and Ultra Man movies 1 & 2.
They were awesome and held quite an awesome replay value!
