Heaven exists, and it's a website.

See that? That's the intro sequence to a show you loved, but forgot even existed.

Hear that? That's a theme song that's been playing an endless loop in the back of your mind for the majority of your life, and you never realized it until now.

Prepare to have your memory bank cracked wide open, folks. This site is pure bliss. :)

There is something to be said for living in the past...or at least as far as entertainment goes.

I wish there was a Brazilian counterpart for something so rich and complete like that website. There are many things worth revisiting.

EDIT: On another note, I'm utterly disappointed at the total incompleteness of the page of my favourite 90's TV show, Beakman's World.

Beakman's World!  I used to watch that all the time when young, but so few people agree with me on its awesomeness these days.

Mm, nostalgia.  My memories of childhood, having been born in 1984, combine the very end of the '80s with the crossover into the very beginning of the '90s.  Fun.

Same here. Born in '85, myself. That time...that was a golden age. Long before the Demons of Mon came and polluted the once-pristine Saturday morning. *sigh*

And Beakman was the MAN. ;D

Man, that takes me back... I remember laughing my head off at all the cheesiness.

Oh man all the shows I watched are here. Darkwing Duck, Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, Tail Spin, the Mario and Sonic shows. Jeeze, I'm spending too much time on that site.
Before continuing, it may be in your best interest, dear reader, to stop and ponder this. Picture it in your mind's eye. An evil one-eyed midget named Cheatum swam across the Gulf of Mexico wearing a shark fin on his back and then planted a bomb on a boat. Think about that. Let that sink in. Now. Wouldn't you want to buy a wrestling show after seeing this?

Tell me about it. I've watched the Samurai Pizza Cats intro about 8 times and it still hasn't gotten old.

My God, he's right!  There's no mention of Futurama anywhere except for one small mention in an article slamming the new C&tCF movie...
