[@CommodoreFan64]

@@rickyray2794 Yeah they where a blast from the past, but I can for sure say what's not a blast from the past is the Animaniacs, as many of the jokes missed the mark, way too much political bias for my liking.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@rickyray2794 IMHO with WB throwing pot shots at Johnny Depp in the first episode(called him a flat out lair over the whole Amber Herd deal), and using things like Buns(Bunnies) to make Gun owners look like nut jobs, and then the shoehorned feminism/diversity, and pot shots at the right(99% Trump/Putin/Fox News jokes) with no balance to make any jokes about the left except once when they called both parties not interesting, while they made fun of 3rd party political candidates. I could go on with things like why only the main cast of Wacko, Yacko, Dot, and Pinky & The Brain cartoons??? I'm not trying to sound bias here in my review, but I remember the original making fun of celebs, and political parties more equal. it just reeks of modern Hollywood BS!!!

[@jamesharding322]

The most overlooked pop culture-related event of 1990 was the live action "Flash" show with Mark Hamill as the Trickster, the "appetiser" to his iconic voice-acting role as the Joker and the turning point of Mark's career where he not only became popular again but was the very moment he went from being the typecast hero actor of Luke Skywalker to nearly always playing villains in TV and animation from then on

[@raerae1630]

Weird how the hippie era (like the guy in the first commercial) was actually closer to 1990 than 1990 is to now.

Maytag for sure made good products back then, one of my step grandmothers had the same Maytag washing machine, and dryer all the way from the late 70's till about 2000 when she got new ones by MayTag, and yes they were still working, she just wanted new ones to match the remodeling of her house. Thankfully Maytag did not get sold to a foreign company like so many once great American companies have, as they are now owned by Whirlpool which is still made in America, and in the past few months I bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher, and refrigerator with top freezer, and both proudly had made in America stickers on them. 🇺🇸
