Yes! Yes! All sorts of yes. The One Saturday Morning crap was the fastening of the belt around Saturday mornings as we knew them.

In what, The Onion?

Mine too! Then a JC Penney took over it in the 90's… which is now gone too, oddly enough.

They could've maintained that if the tinkering stopped there… and the original films still had their place in home media. Regular version and "Director's Cut/Special Edition" or whatever. BAM, each appreciated on their own level!

Any time. I grew up in an area where Top 40 (mostly) wouldn't really start playing the "big" songs until they were big elsewhere, so there was always a gap between the big cities playing them and us getting them. A song that was popular in, say, the spring of 2001 was already overplayed in Minneapolis or Chicago by…

It's not dark yet, but ittttttt's gettin' there…

You know you're old when the mention of "bookstores" brings to mind how many of them there used to be.

Maybe those Congressmen were right in trying to ban dinosaur cloning after Jurassic Park came out. Crichton and others were like, "No, no, it's just a book!" But nope, they were wrong. We don't listen to these things, then BAM, it happens!

For me, it was realizing that all the Top 40 stations were basically now "rhythmic" Top 40 (i.e., rap, hip-hop, dancey pop trying to be hip-hop, etc.). I'll still tune in to see what "the kids" are listening to nowadays every so often.

I described this sketch to my late grandfather a number of years ago and he got a real good laugh out of it. Can't remember how it came into conversation though!

Len's song, I remember being the summer/fall of 1999. Vitamin C's Graduation seemed to take hold by the graduation season in the spring of 2000.

Yes they did! Wow, they did that with a few movies back in the day, didn't they?

I feel my young self cracking through my skin as we speak! Ugh, the nostalgia…

Oh man, the Lucasfilm games! Dark Forces, X-Wing, Rebel Assault 1 AND 2… the 90's man.

Savage Garden's I Want You… that's the song that reminds me of that summer. Listen to that an I'm almost an emerging teenager all over again.

1. DVDs: My high school buddy was SO PUMPED when DVDs started to be released. His rich parents paid like a thousand dollars for a DVD player and the DVDs for Twister and Blade Runner. He was pretty sure that it would never be topped.

I prefer Mountain Dew, but I liked both just fine. Hardly drink pop anymore though, so not sure if I can even find Mello Yello around my neck of the woods these days.

Duran even had a minor radio hit in 1997: Electric Barbarella.

Hey now, this isn't the 80's pop culture window here…

But we have smartphones now, which means we would've been on here anyways.
