Hockey Night in Canada


Submitted by TF

Probably about as EPIC and awesome as you can get for hockey coverage, with over 50 years on CBC Television, and a radio version dating as far back as 1931. Its a shame I can’t get CBC Toronto where I live in Upstate New York, this win beats NBC and Verses hands down.

Clarks Magic Princess Shoes


Submitted by Lucy P

Maybe these were just a UK thing, but EVERY girl in the 80s/ early 90s either had them or couldnt fit into them (like me).

Suburban Commando


Submitted by jedmonds

Tagline: Right Suburb, Wrong Planet. Also starring Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall; two mainstay actors of the time. The story, the effects, the stellar acting… (haha!) they all made for one of my childhood staples. I must’ve watched this movie every day for 3 months. My little brother and I used to act out scenes together (particularly the fighting scenes) and quote the movie to my mom, who eventually “lost” the VHS. Thanks, mom.

Microsoft BOB


Submitted by Brandon C

From Wikipedia:

Microsoft Bob was a Microsoft software product, released in March 1995, which provided a new, nontechnical interface to desktop computing operations. Despite its ambitious nature, Bob was one of Microsoft’s more visible product failures. Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer mentioned Bob as an example of a situation “… where we decided that we have not succeeded and let’s stop”.

Homeworld


Submitted by Cody E

Homeworld came out 10 years ago in September 1999. It revolutionized real time strategy games by allowing players to command fleets of ships, in quite a Battlestar Galactica way of finding their way home. It had a stand-alone expansion pack named Cataclysm that refined the gameplay and expanded on the universe. This game was of the highest production qualities, and it’s instruction manual still makes for a damn good read. I sunk many hours into this game when it came out and still visit it from time to time. Please make this a front page item.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch


Submitted by Katie H

I would like to submit my nostalgic win – Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I would religiously watch this show on TGIF every week, and aspired to one day be just like her (and have the ability to point at anything and magically change my clothes, make snacks appear, or turn the “Libby” at my school into a goat). I mean, who WOULDN’T love to live with two cool magical aunts, a talking cat, and have their own turret as a bedroom? I think I still aspire to have my own Harvey Kinkle, he was heavenly. My friends and I would call each other after watching the show to discuss what we loved about it (which was pretty much the entire show – and of course the outfits Sabrina wore), and to this day I still smile every time I watch episodes on YouTube.

Sherlock Hound


Submitted by Anna W

The Opening & ending are something else all together! Simple, Beautiful &- Wait! Was Hound chasing after a plane on a BIKE!? Who in there right mind WOULDN’T want to watch after seeing something like THAT?! The only difference with the intro in English is that it & the ending are instrumental. Can’t complain.
