About a year ago I happened upon it while surfing and put it on. The script was cheesy, acting bad, and antics just weird. The woman looked less than enthusiastic about her job. All I could think was, ‘this is the show I watched faithfully every week?

It’s sometimes fun to step out of being literal, and what not.

Too bad I can’t do that with some of the modern shows…which explains why I don’t like TV…

I saw it a year or so before I could do so legally, and thought it was full of more awesome than should be allowed anywhere. Watching it years later, it failed to hold the same shine for me.

The original He-Man was much the same way. I was an avid fan as a child, but watching an episode a year or two ago made me wonder who turned up the Suck knob on my childhood delights.

Actually… come to think of it: ANYTHING with Jim Carrey.

I just recently started re-watching the original Battlestar Galactica on NBC.com, and I have to say it has actually gotten better–since it now feels more like a B-movie.

I made the great mistake of watching two shows I used to watch as a kid, roughly 6-7, they were M.A.S.K. and Dinoriders. I could see where they could keep the attention of a kid, but not something you watch when you’ve grown up, the concepts/plots/technology used in the old shows are laughable now, so the best place to have those memories is in your mind.

One movie I did enjoy watching, although if my mom ever found out that I’d watched it then she would have had a fit (being 10 and having an over-protective mother), was Brainscan. That actually got better for me, since I wasn’t focusing on the action, and started paying more attention to the actual storyline (Still find the computer Igor funny though, since my cell phone has more processing power than that thing had ).

Thankfully at 27 years old, I haven’t had too many things that I loved as a kid that I don’t still like. Not to say that I haven’t grown out of some things. There are several things that I didn’t like when I first experienced them that I still don’t like, but most of the things I’ve revisited, I still like.

Here are some of the things I’ve grown out of:
Power Rangers (I used to be in love with the Pink Ranger, and the show reminded me of Voltron but they’ve overdone the series)
Pokemon (I still play the original Red, Yellow and Pokemon Stadium on occasion, but all the rehashing of it has broken me)
Home Alone (’nuff said)

I never liked Never Ending Story II. I loved (and still do) the original Never Ending Story.

Now, for a list of some cartoons that I haven’t seen since I was a kid, and wonder if they would still be as I remember them:
Voltron
Silverhawks
M.A.S.K.
He-Man

And now for a list of movies that I loved as a kid and still do love today:
Labyrinth
Willow
The Princess Bride
The Pirate Movie
The Wizard

This has been an interesting trip down memory lane. I thank you all for the sharing of your memories, whether they be happy or sad for it is our individual experiences which enrich our world and the sharing of which enriches our souls.

Biggest letdown ever. And hey, don’t bash Pokemon Snap. Friggin’ awsome game, got it on mah Wii.
