Nostalgia
13 years ago
I feel like saying something... so here goes.
...can blind you. Or maybe it can remind you of how things were way back when. Good God, I know I'm getting old when I'm starting to have nostalgia for old TV shows I used to watch.
Before my current trend of watching a particular show about small equines animated in the little-used method (at least for professionals) of Adobe Flash, one of my favorite TV shows animated in what was then a little-used method, was Beast Wars! Yes, back then CGI wasn't used all that much until Pixar wowed everyone with how well it could be done when they released Toy Story.
So about two weeks ago, I was at my friend
dash1 's place, and we decided to watch an episode that had been released on Netflix. Man, we were all either laughing or watching awkwardly at what is now considered sub-par CGI expected of beginner animation students. Though I guess I shouldn't have been that surprised... looking back what I remember from watching a similarly animated program called ReBoot, the animation wasn't that good by today's standards, either.
Ah whatever. What about you guys? What are shows you remember from way back when that you watch now and wonder, even if only for a little while, why you liked it in the first place?

Though checking YouTube, I must say, that intro of Space: 1999 has some awesome music!
And here's a question, what went through your head when 1999 came around and we didn't have bases on the moon? XP
Man, I should go watch these shows... they look badass!
