The Big Fat Mine Field Thread of 90s Nostalgia

Tsar Bomba would like a word.

 
"Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling."
 
The Late Night Talk Show Wars occupied our minds throughout the early-mid 90s, as soon as Carson announced his retirement...

David Letterman appeared on Carson after NBC announced that Jay Leno would inherit the Tonight Show instead of him...



But Dave just walked down the street to CBS and did "late night" his way for 22 more years...

A good chunk of "Married With Children" was in the 1990s. The most iconic episode was Christmas 1989, but who are we to quibble over a month. "It's a Bundyful Life":
 
OOH! OOH! OOH! OOH!
 
The '90s was also the Decade of the Hummer:

Whoops! Wrong pic. The '90s was also the Decade of the Hummer:

Eurythmics took a break in the 90s, and Annie released two classic, award-winning solo albums...





But then Eurythmics reunited in 1999 for a new album and tour, the proceeds of which went to Amnesty International and Greenpeace...

 
 
 
Another childhood's end type post, sorry...

Maid Marian And Her Merry Men started in November 1989, when I was 8 years old. I thought it was the funniest and cleverest thing ever when I started watching it. Instantly my favourite tv show. The fourth and final series was broadcast starting January 1993 (there was an over 2 year gap between series 2 and 3! What is this, a streaming show!) when I was 12. I'd be 13 later that year. A lot is different when you're nearly a teenager than when you're 8. My dad had died two months earlier and I was hating being in high school, so I imagine I wasn't the same in January 1994 as I was in November 1989. Would I still enjoy this show as much as I used to? GOD, YES.



The first episode of series 4 parodied The Crystal Maze, a nineties' classic that I was obsessed with for a while. I clearly remember watching this episode for the first time and loving it and laughing my ass off. Wayne Morris who played Robin (UNDERRATED COMEDY GENIUS) does a dead-on Richard O'Brien impersonation. Look, if you didn't grow up in the exact situation I just described this won't mean anything to you, but trust me: this was great. MAYBE THE LAST TIME I WAS TRULY HAPPY (overly-dramatic.)
