The 90's (And Early 00's)
Friday, October 14, 2011 @ 11:27 PM
Remember the old Nickelodeon (Nick), Cartoon Network (CN) and Disney Channel (DC) when they were showing awesome cartoons and shows such as Hey Arnold!, The Wild Thornberrys, Rugrats, Cat and Dog, Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers, Roco's Life, Rocket Power, Ah! Real Monsters, Gullah Gullah Island, Blue's Clues, Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Recess, Kenan and Kel, All That, Figure it Out, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Amanda Show...and many more others? That, my friends, were shows from the most amazing era for me, The 90's (and please include the Early 00's as well).

I was born during the 90's. On 1993 to be precise. But I only started watching these shows in the early 2000's. I was about 6 or 7 when I started watching cable channels since my family subscribed to Sky Cable (later satellite, then Destiny as of the moment). Nick and CN were my first loves of course, since DC came out like three years later. I must admit that I don't remember how and when I watch these shows but I do remember watching most of these during the afternoon, right after school, lying on the couch like a lazy person while I'm eating my afternoon snack or doing my homework. Funny thing is, I do remember being addicted to Dora the Explorer and I would watch it everyday after school.

My favorites were Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls (which still air, but I rarely watch it right now) and The Wild Thornberrys. I was addicted to TV. Probably one of the main reasons why I am wearing eyeglasses today. Or maybe it's genetics. Or maybe not. But I don't curse the TV of course, because it gives entertainment and plenty of information. The sad thing is right now, that the TV gives so much entertainment that it does not give any fun now at all.

Ever since I came to Baguio, I barely touched the TV remote or watched TV at all. Well, I do have a DVD player slash TV with a very small antenna. The sad thing is, it only gives me three channels. Which sucks. But I can live with that. I mean, I've been watching on it since the Summer Term, so basically, I survived with such thing. As a result, I barely know most of the TV shows these days and I've read and heard that they're not as good as it should've been the past TV shows of the past decade. I do like the new ones, like Phineas and Ferb (or is it old now? Lol. I'm very outdated, see?), but like many others, I hate most of the shows today.

The 90's (and the Early 00's) will always be the best era for me. Not because I had so much fun watching the TV, but I had the best days because it was also my childhood years. Right now, kids are glued to their computer seats. But, when I was their age, I was outside, playing tumbang preso or patintero. I was not only watching one cartoon, but I was watching dozens of cartoons and TV shows that were really intended for my age. Now, I'm thinking of downloading episodes of these shows. Just for old time's sake.
