I agree with Ty. Some VERY important things were left off that list. I can't think of any right now, so maybe I will post specifics when I think of them. But right now I am so hungry I think I need to Electric Slide down to Electric Avenue and pick up a Vegemite Sandwich and some Skittles! (I think Skittle came out in like 1985, right?)
HA HA! I am clever!

Agreed. Lots of good things missing here... but hey- I didn't write it. It's a forward. I need me some Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, My Little Ponies, Care Bears, Charmkins, Rainbow Brite, the REAL Strawberry Shortcake, He-man and She-ra...the list goes on and on. Popples, Small Wonder...

Wow! You completely made me flash back to being 6 years old and getting up before sunrise to watch cartoons on Saturday!
Whatever happened to insane TV shows about robot daughters, finding out your birth father is an alien (And that you can stop time) and people who adopt 6 culturally abstract children and still end up being happy at the end of every half-hour show? Bring the Eighties back!!! (Except for the economy. That was no goot.)
