This brings back so many memories.
 
I have to say that is a great list. If there were ever a hierarchy of video game consoles, Super Nintendo would be king.
 
My cousin showed me something like this a while ago.
It's still fuckin' funny. Completely awesome, also.
 
To MasterOLightning, I hope you're joking. Those showers were amazing. Well personally I'd remove that Wild Thornberry's crap and probably Power Rangers.

P.S. Pogs were(are) the shit.
 
Man, I remember so much of that stuff. Warheads were da bomb. Seriously, do they still make those? If not, they should.
 
Were those the candies where the packages were the cartoon faces all twisted because of how sour they were? Complete with awesome A-bomb style mushroom clouds in the background. Those were pretty awesome if we're thinking the same thing.
 
-and Ghostwriter on PBS.

Now that's classic.

As far as TV shows go, I enjoyed the late 80's and early 90's the most. With the odd exception, I thought most shows that aired mid-90's onward weren't very good.

Though I do admit, when teletoon first came on cable, I really enjoyed that channel partially for re-airing this favourite which I hadn't seen for years prior:
