In case you hadn’t noticed, today’s date is 9/02/10 (written as 2/09/10 in the United States, but that doesn’t exactly serve our purposes here). With a special date like that, it would be a crime NOT to reminisce over everyone’s favorite ’90s television series about spoiled brats living (and loving…and drinking…and overdosing) in ritzy Beverly Hills. And who could forget that theme song?!

Let us know about your favorite episodes, quotes, betrayals, twists, tender moments, or characters (oh, Shannen Doherty, TV misses you!) in the comments. And nothing should be spoken about the CW remake of the show lest you be severely judged.

Once, again: Happy 9/02/10 Day!!!

Much like real basketball, the point of Hot Shot Basketball was to get the ball through the hoop. The difference was that, in the Hot Shot version, you were using a miniscule “launcher” to flick the ball through a tiny little plastic net. So much less effort than throwing a heavy orange ball toward a really high net! As a side note, the game pictured above is advertised as a “travel” game. I have to wonder how many little basketballs were lost under the bucket seats in minivans around the world…

Clueless helped define ’90s culture; its fashion and slang influenced the zeitgeist in a serious way. I still hear people quote this movie (If only 1995 was the last time I ever heard “as if!”), and the recent passing of Brittany Murphy (who co-starred in the film) had people talking, once again, about their favorite clueless valley girls. Any scenes that have stuck with you over the last 15 years? Or maybe you would like to lament about the horrid television series spawned after the film became successful? Tell us in the comments.

Sega’s Game Gear was the 3rd commercially available hand-held video game console that featured a color screen. I definitely remember logging some Sonic The Hedgehog hours on a Game Gear. What about you? Favorite games? Do you miss the Game Gear, or are you content with your iPod Touches and PSPs?

Wood paneling FTW! You really can’t beat it. The AMC Eagle was introduced in 1979 and remained on the market until 1988. They really are a thing to behold in a kitschy sort of way. How about you guys? Did any of you take a hot date out on a Friday night in one of these bad boys?
