No one seems to remember this bizarre piece of television history. Everyone who I have ever asked about this show denies that it existed, but obviously it was a real thing because I am not capable of making it up, it's too weird. Maybe people are just trying to forget it because of how awful it was? What show am I talking about? The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! And yes, the exclamation point is part of the title. The show only lasted one season, but wow did it ever leave an impression (on those who haven't blocked it out)

By Tanya
There is no better feeling than getting onto the open road and feeling the wind in your hair. Some of us had to settle for running or biking, but there were a select few who got to experience the true glory that was the Power Wheels Barbie Jeep and they are some of the luckiest people in the world. As someone who did not have one, it's hard to truly know just how amazing they were.

Peeking Behind The Scenes Of Space Jam Will Change How You Feel About This Classic 90s Movie

By Tanya
Space Jam is one of the greatest movies ever made. I don't think there will be anyone who disagrees with me, but it needed to be said just in case. Space Jam stars all of your favorite Looney Tunes alongside all your favorite basketball stars and the combination is truly marvelous.You've got to hand it to the people who made this, it was pretty impressive. Given that Michael Jordan wasn't a professional actor at all and managed to do this whole movie alone, on what was essentially only green screens, is shocking. Seeing pictures from behind the scenes will
