I first knew him as the host of "Animal Crack-Ups," a game show where celebrities answered questions about interesting animal facts. I'm pretty sure he wrote and sang that theme song too.

I heard it as "I'm Darren Host, and I'm your… host, I guess!"

It's even odder (and more disheartening) now.

Everything from the 90s is coming back… When do we get our new Talkboys?

I watched all four of that run of movies a few years back, and I was surprised to find how much I liked that one. It's silly, but it's fun to watch and it's never goes all the way over the edge.

Don't we dislike this guy because he's immature and rude (among other things)? How is it a good thing to stoop to his level?

KISS was very popular in medieval times.

It was actually pretty ambitious, storytelling-wise. As I recall, it was all one long serialized story, which was pretty rare for kids' cartoons.

My brother got Teddy Ruxpin one Christmas, and for my following birthday I got Grubby, who could be connected to Teddy so he could speak his parts of the stories. It was pretty cool. And I think everyone will agree with me that the best Teddy Ruxpin tape was Grundo Beach Party, featuring the hit song "Boomer the…

The first time I watched all the special features on the Contact DVD, I was amazed at how often they used visual effects to enhance the scenes when you couldn't even tell they used visual effects.

I think most playhouse residents were smarter than Pee-wee. Except Pterry. Pterry is dumb.

I, for one, never made any prank phone calls because of that episode.

In high school, I participated in a competition where students from various schools in the area would compete in a number of academic activities. One of the things I competed in was Oral Interpretation — basically, reading out loud. When it came time to make the choice for my reading, I thought it would be really…

All the NYC bus and subway ads leading up to the theatrical release said "Ghostbusters Answer the Call." If they were so worried about confusing it with the original, I don't know why they didn't put the subtitle onscreen in the film, but whatever.

Sesame Street used to recycle clips for decades. Which is why kids who grew up in the 90s remember the Pinball Number Count cartoon, even though it was produced in the 70s. They don't really do that anymore, so today's youngsters will have to turn to YouTube to discover Harvey.

I'll never forget Harvey Kneeslapper.

Sure! I'm pretty sure there were a number of Flintstones books published over the years.
