My friend put me on to this yesterday.

I dunno how many people know about this site already, but I'm sure just as many peeps don't know about it. This place has a whole load of info on your favorite old shows (many of which were cancelled), and even includes the intro for most of them.

Nostalgia at its best. Be a pal and check it out.

Whoa... I just viewed some some of the intros to my favorite shows.

Man. Is it weird to say I got emotional (teary even) at seeing some of them? Man that "David the Gnome" almost made me cry :(.

Oh yeah. The "X-Men" intro is the greatest ever!

I'm not that emotional, but I guess that's not weird. If I were to cry, I'd cry because there will never be shows like those again.

TV today sucks balls. Hairy, cancerous balls.

Ahh, the good old days. I didn't even live in that time and I wish some of that stuff was back. I remember a lot of that from things my brother and sister had when they were kids that I found when I was little so I remember a lot of those things...flashback...

Nice link, thanks. This is a great place for me to ask this. Does ANYONE else remember that in the 80's McDonald's had "Shanghai Chicken" where they gave out a sweet and sour sauce with the nuggets and chopsticks? I remember it specifically and in the commercial, it was all about people not able to properly use chopsticks and faking it. I used to have a very old vhs with Bon Voyage Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back) which was a favorite movie of mine when I was little. I watched it about 6 or 7 years ago and found that commercial for it. Since then, my mom taped over it (Why!? Why mom, why!?) and it's vanished without a trace. Everyone looks at me like I just made up a story when I ask them if they remember it. Also if anyone has a copy of Bon Voyage Charlie Brown, I'd love a copy :\.

Know what I miss? Frago Rock! And the old Muppet Show! I loved those guys! Muppets just haven't been the same since Jim Henson died *cries*.
I had totally forgotten about David the Gnome! I used to love that show!

Early 90's Nickolodeon was the shiz. Salute Your Shorts? Awesome. Hey Dude, spectacular. Clarissa Explains it All, excellent. Pete and Pete, outstanding.
