By Tanya |

So of us watched a lot of TV when we were kids. Our parents often said it was too much but oh well.

We honestly spent hours in front of the television, whether it was watching One Saturday Morning or TGIF. We had our schedules and we stuck to them.

The thing was, back then we couldn't fast forward commercials like we do now. We had to endure each repeated jingle countless times while enjoying the latest episode of Boy Meets World or Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And those songs really knew how to get into your head and stay there forever.

Chances are these songs are still buried deep in your memory. See if you know the words to any of these.

By Tanya
Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

By Tanya
Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person.

By Tanya
Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?
