Say hello to your friends...

Okay, I totally DID NOT just intentionally search for The Babysitter's Club and watched some clips from them even though it's true and I TOTALLY did. That's the beauty about YouTube, despite the copyright hoopla, you get a chance to look for childhood favorites. The BSC was one of those favorites of mine growing up; the books, the television series and the movie. There are only a few clips from the series plus the actual Christmas episode, but it just brings back memories. I mean, it's SO 90s! The fashion, the music, the HAIR...just, OMG. I know, it wasn't a perfect adaptation of the books nor was the acting even that great, but dude! C'mon! That's my childhood right there. I just wished they had all the episodes on DVD already.

It actually makes me nostalgic for old school Disney Channel. And I'm not talking about like several years ago, I'm talking like really, really old school. You know, the late 80s/early 90s, back in the day where Disney actually showed a variety of things instead of the same crap over and over again.

In any event, I may just have to dig around to find my old VHS tape of it, or watch the BSC movie again.

I remember watching BSC, Flash Forward (awesome), and Ready or Not, which was so angsty but so great! And Space Cases on Nickelodeon, fuck yeah.

I remember so much from my childhood like the ones you said above, along with The Torkelsons, Ocean Girl, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Eerie Indiana, Salute Your Shorts, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Clarissa Explains It All....man. Now I'm getting all nostalgic again. Sometimes I wonder why don't they have children's shows like that anymore.

Hells yes! And ROUNDHOUSE. I remember the Dad in the chair zooming around! I forgot about Ocean Girl totally, but I was always extremely enchanted by it. And I liked The Torkelsons' spin-off more than the original... I have S1 of Clarissa Explains It All on DVD, haha, and it is pretty much hilarious. Takes me back! I watched Ren and Stimpy, too, and my mom and I will still sing all the songs from it word-for-word. None of my friends were allowed to watch that though.

I baby-sit a lot, so I watch a lot of Nick and Disney and Cartoon Network with kids, and I have to say I do like a few shows that are on right now. I always like SpongeBob Squarepants, Drake & Josh, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. My Gym Partner's a Monkey is cute sometimes too. I really hate Ed, Edd, and Eddy, though. It's kind of funny to realize that in the future, these kids will be going, "OH MAN, REMEMBER BILLY AND MANDY? THAT SHOW WAS SO AWESOME."

Hee, I have Clarissa S1 on DVD as well. Ah, the memories. I wanted to be JUST like her, too. I have Ocean Girl on DVD too, but I have to still see season four which didn't air on Disney or in the States, apparently. Grrr.

Oh yeah, Drake & Josh is definitely hilarious (and we do get some boy/boy kissing on that show, too if like, only for long second or something). I like that, and even Hannah Montana and Life With Derek at times. I do think it's funny though, because here we are reliving our old childhood shows but the kids today are going to be doing the same things years from now. And I'm betting our parents did the same thing, thinking "whatever happened to MY shows?" when we were growing up. Differing of generations, I guess.
