@Deshong04 I used to have that game, too. Although honestly, when I got it, I was already too told for it. And when I went to the "game" upstairs, it always wouldn't work properly. I couldn't believe how little there was to do in it. It was so not worth $30!
@mintycupcake I don't remember exactly how old I was at the time but pretty sure I was beyond the 1st and 2nd grade. Regardless, it wasn't any less fun for me. And when everything was done, there were other PC games that I don't even remember the name of, lol. One of them was about a superhero and his sidekick, another one was about some guy and this woman would say, "Turn around slowly or I'll shoot." And I always died because I didn't know how to turn around slowly but somehow my younger sibling figured it out. Then there was this other game learning about the underwater creatures like manatees. Oh yeah, and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.

@Deshong04: Omg!!! I had no idea there was a computer game for her back then! (I would have begged my parents for it! ) Not to mention when I was little I had a lot of the 'Jump Start' games too. So I know I would have loved it .
I think Jump Start was my first ever pc game addiction (even before the sims!). Funny part: It was super educational! xD
Since I'm a new member, I can't post a link. (Not trying to be rude, but I think some of these new member rules are really dumb and just discourage people from participating.) If you go to youtube and search "lord of the rings song frodo don't wear the ring" and watch the one posted by loonyravenclaw, that is the video I was going to link to. That was always my favorite LOTR spoof song back in the day. =P
I don't think the video is the original video, but it's definitely the original song. I used to know it by heart. Ahh nostalgia...

I wasn't sure at first but apparently, it was an April Fool's joke to replace a new episode of Samurai Jack, with Rick and Morty. Then another channel kept playing that same Samsung Galaxy commercial one after another after another. Then as I was watching Kenan & Kel and Hey Arnold! random clips of other shows would display and one of them I remember way back as a kid, Face.

Okay, I remember Invader Zim. I didn't know a movie was also being made for Rocko's Modern Life. Hopefully, they bring back more shows/movies in the future. It feels so nice to return back to shows I grew up with. Of course, if they stay true to the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMnV_eL-D7w

Found Gran Turismo 2 (PS1) and it still works. Too bad I didn't take good care of game discs as a kid. Also, found NFS: High Stakes and NFS III: Hot Pursuit...does not work. Tried out the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine November 2000 demo disc and played Crash Bash and Incredible Crisis. Incredible Crisis is so frustrating I couldn't even attempt a 3rd retry because my arm was too tired. And I thought I am a good button masher but not with that game. The threshold seems so high during the Elevator of Doom. Not sure how they made it look so easy but then again I did notice my PS2 controller X button was not as responsive and I even kept messing up on easy parts during Space Channel 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ea6ETbuGuw
Probably need to take that apart too, clean it and I still need to get some replacement parts for the thumb grips that Panda destroyed.
Space Channel 5: Special Edition froze at the first boss which I think means I should start looking up tutorials how to take apart the PS2 and clean it. Maybe there's a way to get those badly scratched games to work as well. Rubbing alcohol did nothing...how about toothpaste? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0A5smrzVaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4mxS7au464
Another demo disc with Pizza Hut on it, I'm surprised it plays at all before freezing. At least, I get to see what games are on it since doesn't go pass that initial video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-zOR52-RA

My dad got me an American Girl play editor thingy - apparently called American Girl Premiere one Christmas. I remember making the characters say rude things in their weird robo voices and thinking it was the height of hilarity.
Elementary school me thought Maximum Ride was the coolest thing ever. Now I read back and think, "wow, this character's such a Mary Sue/ Gary Stu". x''D But somehow, I still feel nostalgic reading the comic series despite that.
I'm still stunned by last night's episode of Samurai Jack. I didn't know whether to smile, laugh or drop my jaw in surprise. Not that I didn't figure it out about Jack and Ashi hinted relationship but the way they had it happen was just so...what just happened? That song.
Each episode keeps getting better.

How did I not see this thread sooner!!!
I'm meltic with good vibes & sweet nostalgia!
Samurai Jack fanatic here! Season 10 has been a hella amazing ride
Just don't go on Tumblr atm cos it's full of cancerous hate for Jack & Ashi right now Getting really sick of the pe-do & the lone wolf crap I love where Genndy has taken the shows direction.

I thought about mentioning Carmen San Diego on here after that SNL skit this weekend. I actually remember watching the shows more than I remember playing the games.
@mintycupcake My memories of the show are a little vague, Idkw but as a little kid I was sorta scared of Carmen I really do not know why?
I played the game frequently in Primary & middle school.

Me, too. But I was honestly afraid of everything. I wouldn't watch Ghostwriter because it was about a ghost and that's all I needed to know.
@mintycupcake Oml lmao same!!!! I couldn't read Goosebump books alone at night as a kid
Haha, I HATED Goosebumps, I didn't even want to look at the covers. I had a pretty low regard for anyone who read them (they were pretty popular with the "bad boys" at my school, probably subconsciously made that association.)
@Minty525 I'm not suprised I've never met a girl who has read a Goosebump book, I still remember there was a special edition that came out where the slime print on the cover glows in the dark, heck I still remember the Goosebumps TV show

I couldn't even handle it when Boy Meets World did that "scary" Halloween episode.
@mintycupcake I haven't watched much of Boy meets world but I heard it was super popular at the time. I only just found out about it when Disney aired Girl meets world.

Oh last but not least: This one was one of my biggest favorite (but it's not jumpstart though lol)
It's epic how a youtube video can just capture half your childhood
I don't think the video is the original video, but it's definitely the original song. I used to know it by heart. Ahh nostalgia...

If anyone is interested Samurai Jack is premiering on Adult Swim at 11pm ET.
=======
Golden Boy...not for kids but I like this video and song. Favorite part of that episode was the bike race.
I remember watching this as a kid and watched the whole series on Netflix. Good memories.

Number 1 show I want revived and continued is Thundercats (2011). The show was good, then they just stopped it.
And in no particular order.
(Reminds me of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Show...because they are the ones who sing the Teen Titan song.)
