| 966 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think the show that most captured my attention as a kid that had a particular focus on wildlife was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I can remember coming home from church on Sundays and sitting down on the couch to enjoy that show. I can still hear the show announcer ringing in my ears, introducing the show following commercial breaks. Great show, that was. | Jan 30, 2014 |  | |
| 4568 | Article | Superman | I think the thing I miss most about the malls of my youth is Waldenbooks. Book stores, in general, seem to be so hard to find these days, but I love them. | Mall Memories | Sep 22, 2018 | |
| 5599 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think there are levels of disappointment that could be discussed here, but I'm going to stick to the less personal ones... more focused on product and school life than life at home and relationships. I was very disappointed when Masters of the Universe abruptly went belly up in '87. They had some pretty cool things planned that would have been awesome to see on shelves, even though I was growing out of collecting them around that time. I was disappointed that a school levy that would have created a brand new high school that would have been ready by the time my age group arrived there did not pass. | Top four disappointing moments of childhood | Feb 08, 2022 | |
| 1534 | Article | pikachulover | I think there really could have been a Simpsons inspiration. This story happened in 1994. The boys had the star hats and I think they either had wands or fake candle props. | The Worst Christmas School Production in the World | Nov 28, 2014 | |
| 3906 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | I think there were three, but I remember playing this one. | Edutainment Computer Games of the 90s | May 27, 2017 | |
| 4134 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I think this is a front runner for contest winner. Living vicariously through your original creation? That's just great. | Russell - The Black-Eyed Simpson | Sep 15, 2017 | |
| 2621 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think this may be my favorite article of yours so far. You're so right. It's not about the shows or commercials themselves. Like you said, they can be watched at any point on YouTube (and in some cases, HERE!) But to find all those other little details... local ads, local station promos, etc. And then to watch them all just as they aired together, like for a moment your TV has stepped back in time and is showing you what was on at any given moment, somewhere in the US. Then you start to wonder what the person recording the tape was thinking or doing while watching these shows and such play out. What was the purpose? What shows were they hoping to capture the most? Where is that person now? There just so much wrapped up in the simple act of watching the old recordings of someone else. I have a feeling Caps has extensive experience with this, as all of his video submissions seem to come from these types of recordings, local ads and all. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 09, 2015 | |
| 3197 | Article | mickyarber | I think this may be my favorite story I've read here on Retro-Daze. I read it while Away in a Manger was just playing in the background, it it came darn close to bringing a tear to my eye. That or it's from all the saw dust in my shop today. Just an excellent read. I think I'll be reading it to my daughters along with The Night Before Christmas this year. Thanks for sharing. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 4052 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think we all found inspiration in some form of cartoon in our youth. For me, it was He-Man and various superheroes, but for some it is something more humorous and childlike. Whatever the case may be, those first characters always seem to leave the biggest mark, even if they aren't exactly our best efforts. | Lars Dakota: The lost original character | Aug 22, 2017 | |
| 3133 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I think we all had that moment of stealing from as store, but it's always worse when you know the person. | Confessions: The Snack Burglar | Nov 26, 2015 | |
