    Ironically enough, it was the custom on some of the text-based multi-player games of the early 90s to refer to long-time players as "dinos" (or "Tiny Dinos", referencing the game type/engine). And of late, I do feel very much like a dinosaur sometimes, looking around at all of you impertinent rodents scampering underfoot.
    Hey! I can't help it if I was born in 1991! :D

    Is this a bad time to mention I graduated High School in '91? :D

    Does that mean you guys/gals have a class reunion coming up? ('91-'11)

    The only way he could do that is if he was a companion of the Doctor :D

    Don't forget Bill and Ted's phone booth! (89)

    I'm from the 80s, so I mostly only remember the kids shows like:

    The Friendly Giant
    Sesame Street
    Hercules (the one with the power ring and a centaur sidekick)


    I also remember awesome old movies like The Peanut Butter Solution and Tommy Tricker the stamp traveller

    I watched some Space:1999 when it was on ITV during the extremely early morning last year or the year before that. I thought some of it was quite good. Obviously it's extremely dated, but it was good never-the-less.

    Airwolf
    Knight Rider
    Emergency! (though I think this was '70s, I don't remember)
    Night Court
    Sea Quest (don't hold me to the year on this, never looked it up)


    Among others. to just name a few.

    As a matter of fact, I've been looking into that to see if anyone is running it yet like 10 years ago, nothing yet. Although even at my 10 year reunion, I only recognized two people.

    Forever Knight for the win. You gotta love a vampire who changes his ways and becomes a detective.

    There was the one movie that was made in the 80's then made into a series in the 90's but it feels so much like an 80's show since that is when it kind of started.

    For my ten-year reunion, a friend and I got the ball rolling at my hometown by calling back home and checking into it. I planned for the week sent my money in and everything and guess what?

    I marked the wrong week on my calendar so when I went back home the week after it was an upset.

    Twenty is coming up in a couple of years so hopefully I will do better this time.

    My ten year reunion was held at home as well since some of us still live here. It felt like we were back in high school when everyone arrived (had the same old groups sit together).

    yes it feels like an 80's show but the excessive synthesizer use makes me think otherwise...but you gotta love a show where one of the main characters is called TRIBBLE...lol :eek:

    Man, where did all the good shows go...wait, I know...NETFLIX!
    We have reality shows now because no one knows how to act and everyone wants to be an actor.

    Ah, I remember the days... I was born in 1980, so I remember Square One Television and my favorite program from that series, Mathnet. There was no Barney then, Elmo was still part of the general cast of Sesame Street, Saturday Morning Cartoons were still part of the programming for basic channels... ah...
