After a long day of classes, I feel like unwinding and getting destressed. I think to myself, "Boy, John, wouldn't it be nice to kick back and watch the TGIF lineup from 1994?" The answer: yes it would be. But how to accomplish such a s feat....I mean, I don't have a time machine or anything. Luckily, the good people at ABC Family, formerly Fox Family Channel (home to such classics as "Big Wolf on Campus," "Kids from Room 402" and "The Zack Files") have provided us the opportunity to enjoy such classics as Full House, Family Matters, and Step by Step. These were all truly landmarks in television, with the story lines being very original and fresh, the dialogue and situations completely realistic, and often featuring cutting edge celebs like "Immature," "Luther Vandross" and "Jesse and the Rippers."
However amazing these shows are, they made a crucial error: dropping BMW from its ever-changing afternoon time-slot. That was certainly a highlight of the line-up.
Speaking of highlights, Highlights magazine kicked mucho ass. From Goofus and Gallant to those people who were made of wood, every issue was a journey to the center of Funtasticness and back.
Jesse and the Rippers will be the focus of tomorrow's blog, by the way, with an in-depth analysis of their impact and influence on music, culture and society.
Today's list is of brand-names that were awesome when I was in 6th grade, but now cost 5 bucks at K-Mart:
- Starter
- Tommy Hilfiger
- Jnco Jeans
- Airwalks
- Bugle Boy
- Fila
Peace Love and Understanding
