2477	Article	kstrom22	I'm so glad to see my own experiences were shared by others from different times and places. And so grateful at the response to my own little slice of history. Now I live in Arizona: no real "trees" around here for tree-houses, but I'm too lazy to build one anyway. There is a new playground right across the street; it has a tower, tunnels, a true modern castle. Someday, if I have kids, they'll be the kings and queens.		Aug 07, 2015
5189	Article	retrocrunch	There was a old playground where my grandparents lived that I loved as a kid. Like others, its been torn down and replaced with new equipment. My favorite was a 25 foot tall swingset that had about 10 swings across. We would do back flips off it, see who can jump out farthur, have swing wars, and all sorts of fun. That was the tallest swing I ever went on and I havent seen any nowadays that comes close. Everyones afraid of suits. Good times back then, miss those playgrounds.	Castles of Yesteryear	Apr 26, 2020
2348	Article	Hoju Koolander	Quite an adventure you had there in the video store. Having also seen the vhs tape in video stores my whole childhood and having grown up with the Toxic Crusaders cartoon and action figures, out of curiosity I flipped on The Toxic Avenger on Netflix few weeks back. I didn't make it past that scene of the kid on the bike. That's some messed up stuff right there.	Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s	Jul 04, 2015
2349	Article	Vaporman87	LOL. Funny how our sensitivity levels can change into adulthood - and parenthood for certain. There are so many movies I loved as a kid that I would NEVER let my kids watch, not without ClearPlay anyway.	Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s	Jul 05, 2015
2351	Article	onipar	Thanks for the comments! Yeah, the video store was right across the street from my apartment, and they had arcades AND a Slush Puppy machine, so it was one of our go-to hangouts. The best thing about being young: everything was an adventure. And yeah, it was a truly messed up movie to watch at that young age.	Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s	Jul 05, 2015
2352	Article	Vaporman87	The thing is, I watched all those movies in my youth and, aside from anticipating a level of fear, I was never really disturbed by much of it. Fast forward to today, and I see some of what is placed on screen for consumption by today's youth... the "Saw" movies and its ilk... and I am extremely disturbed by what I see. It's too realistic and morbid. I never watched a Friday The 13th film and thought "Woah, that makes me feel sick to my stomach" . Because it was so cheesy. Bright red blood, practical effects that didn't really give a sense of complete realism.	Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s	Jul 06, 2015
2364	Article	onipar	That's a really good point, Vaporman, and I totally agree. In fact, my favorite subgenre of horror is "campy," and I have no doubt it was due to all the great 80's horror movies I used to watch as a kid. Pure camp, b-movie glory. God I love that stuff. I may have to start doing some 80's horror movie review/articles to post here.	Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s	Jul 08, 2015
2339	Article	Mr Magic	I've seen it a countless number of times on Nickelodeon. Speaking of oddness, I've noticed in it is that when Stu and Grandpa are watching TV, it looks as though they're looking at nothing but colors and there's background music.	Odd TV show episodes #1	Jun 30, 2015
2340	Article	Benjanime	@Vaporman87 that's somewhat of the idea, that and episodes that are just plain bizarre that i'd like to talk about as well. one in particular that i plan on doing is the super mario bros. super show episode "mario and the beanstalk" that includes a scene with luigi wrestling an udder from a giant cow. @thecrow174 i know it did air a few times here and there, but not as often as the other episodes. the nicktoons channel aired it regularly, however. i noticed that too, i guess the animators decided that showing something happening on television would be too hard to draw if the tv itself was drawn too far away.

2336	Article	Vaporman87	This should be a fun topic for coming articles, Ben. Nicely done. It always interests me when networks declare certain episodes too controversial to air beyond the first airing, or at all. I never personally saw this episode, but I can see why it COULD potentially cause some grief with advertisers and viewers. Even so, I think it's a real stretch. Perhaps the whole "acid trip" element was the cause.	Odd TV show episodes #1	Jun 30, 2015
