I remember this game vividly. Circa 1964. It was so worn out that the box was flattened, the cards all dog-eared, and it would hardly stand up, so I used cellophane tape on it. I was a kid who loved board games more than any other toy. Tragically, I was an only child. That didn’t stop me from playing though, and if I ever did get a willing participant, I was on Cloud 9+

Teen Angel was a TV show that aired on ABC’s TGIF Fridays in 1997. Starring Corbin Allred and Mike Damus.

Mike Damus’ character, Marty DePolo, dies after finding and eating a 6 month old hamburger. He hangs around his Best friend Steve Beauchamp (Corbin Allred) as his guardian angel of sorts. But he is very dimwitted and doesn’t really do a very good job watching out for him. Very Funny show, but only lasted 17 episodes.

As someone who spent part of my childhood growing up in England, I remember this anti-piracy warning at the beginning of just about every VHS tape I purchased or rented during the mid to late 1990’s in the UK. I think its a win, just brings back so many memories…

From Wikipedia:

In 1983, the Menudo signed a 6-year multi-million dollar contract with RCA International. Their American fan base grew, especially among the young, as evidenced by “Menudo on ABC”, a series of four-minute music spots that aired during the Fall 1983 season of the American Broadcasting Company’s youth-oriented Saturday morning programming block[1]. They also sang the theme song for ABC’s Rubik, the Amazing Cube and performed regular music videos during Rubik’s half-hour show. During this year, they also released their Spanish album A Todo Rock.

Before J Lo, before Christina Aguilera and before Britney Spears, 14 years ago there was Selena Quintanilla Perez. Although, the world just knew her as simply Selena. Born and raised in Texas from a poorly financed family, Selena was gifted with a voice that was far beyond her age. She loved singing even as a young child and performed with her family in parties and small getherings. When she was signed a contract, her voice fancinated thousands of people and she became a phenonemon. She was given the name “The Queen of Tejano music”. Selena was living a life equivelent to a dream until her untimely murder on March 31, 1995 at the age of 23. Thousands from within and outside that states, mourned at the day of her death with great impact inflicted on them. Her last CD “Dreaming of You” was released that summer, completed with Spanish and her new English songs.

This is going way “back in the day”! Not sure of the year this product was introduced, but I am 50 and was quite young at the time!I remember being so excited to see the “fur” grow on Fuzzy Wuzzy the Bear, and washed my hands about 20 times a day to get to the little toy surprise inside – oddly enough I don’t even remember what I got, but I do remember how much fun this product was!

Threadbear’s maker stuffed him far too full of fluff and so his sqeaker can’t squeak. His owner Ben and his family try their best to get Threadbear working with no success. Finally a toy from the toybox called Grey Thing tells Threadbear to ask Father Christmas for help so Threadbear sets off on his journey up the chimney in search of the North Pole at the top (recognisable by you and I as the roof). The book then has a lovely fold out page with the adventures Threadbear has with Father Christmas including the special Squeaker Fruit, a purple fruit which restores sound to toys squeakers.
Threadbear eventually falls and lands in the garden where Ben’s mum puts him in the washing machine to clean the mysterious fruit juice off his fur.
And its while Threadbear is drying on the washing line that an amazing transformation happens! SQEAK! goes his squeaker.
Ben’s mother has a sensible explanation of what happened to Threadbear in the washing machine but we all know that Father Christmas and the squeaker fruit were the real solution to Threadbears sqeakless squeaker.

Psion was the first PDA released in the mid-1980s. It had 8-bit technology, 10 Kb storage and a 16-character LCD display. You could also program it with OPL which is reminiscent of the earlier versions of the language Basic.

Sam and the Firefly by P.D. Eastman. I must have read this thing a hundred times when I was little. Still remember the story and can see the illustrations in my mind. Anybody who doesn’t remember this book must be an illiterate slob.
