Two other good shows I remember, the Muppet Show and Pete and Pete. They were both so witty, so funny, so unlike most stuff today. I would kill for Pete and Pete on official DVDs.
Pete and Pete annoyed the fuck out of me. They always acted so stupid.... Like the time pete sold their house.... or that time they were having lawnmower races..

Here's a show I bet many of you have either forgotten or never heard of: Roundhouse...the precursor to All That, but more mature and funnier...it wasn't on long...but it was the best skit show next to SNL at the time. And it was on Saturday nights on Nickelodeon (spelling?)
Also, it came on after "Are You Afraid of the Dark"
Oh Teenage mutant ninja turtles and of course Thundercats! And also mario bros from when I got my first nintendo... Outside games mostly soccer every day, also alot of treeclimbing and then of course get something broken .
And omg at my school we got this fight club back behind the bike parking place ROFL this was waaaaaaaaaaaayyy before the movie fightclub, we called it something like mortal combat or something, oh man im Laughing my ass of right now when thinkign about it...
G.I. Joe, Transformers, He-Man and Ninja Turtles. Those shows encompass just about everything I remember television-wise from my childhood. I vaguely remember watching them as a kid, but none of them (with the exception of Transformers; I cried when Optimus Prime died in the movie) hold any real nostalgic value for me.
Video games are a different story. I remember playing the original Legend of Zelda with my older brother late one night when I was supposed to be in bed, my mother completely oblivious to it, of course. I remember my parents throwing a block party on our street and a few of the neighbor kids from a street down played the second TMNT game on NES for hours. I remember playing Mega Man 2 with my younger brother all day and beating every boss except Heat Man. Video games have a much more constant nostalgic presence in my memory than anything else, honestly.
