Waking up to your favorite radio station whenever the alarm went off on your Sony Dream Machine:
Just how controversial The Simpsons were, and how Bart was a bad influence:
And how everyone wanted a Bart Simpson T-shirt:
Quoting so many, many things from In Living Color:
The blurry AF White Diamonds commercial where Elizabeth Taylor says, "These have always brought me luck":
The rollercoaster scream during the opening credits of Step by Step:
How huge Steve Urkel-mania was that there was even a talking doll and cereal based off him:
Madonna's Sex book that came wrapped like a condom and had you wondering what the hell was in it:
Just how cool and different CK One was when it came out (even though EVERYBODY ended up wearing it):
Laughing at Mr. Furley's panic attacks on Three's Company — which was also a sorta inappropriate show to have run in reruns after afternoon cartoons:
Lassie, Dennis the Menace, and Mister Ed being on for HOURS during the day on Nickelodeon taking precious cartoon time:
The red sports car VHS rewinders that looked so-so-cool:
A cabinet shelf full of old VHS tapes that you didn't even know what was on them:
The commercials for Time Life's Mysteries of the Unknown book series, which were just creepy AF:
CDs packaged in long boxes:
Record stores displaying singles and albums based on how they were performing on the charts that week:
The cool display figurines that decorated the upper parts of the Disney stores:
Kurt Loder delivering news on MTV sometimes like he was doing it with a gun pointed to his head:
MTV's Sex in the 90's that featured the Dog Brothers — who were like the original Jersey Shore personalities:
Those T-shirts that featured the Looney Tunes characters dressed in hip-hop clothes:
The absolute delicacy that was Keebler's Pizzarias Pizza Chips:
The infomercial that featured Cher selling Lori Davis hair products that played all the time on the weekends:
Watching Live with Regis and Kathie Lee whenever you stayed home sick from school, and their set that looked like a house:
McDonald's burgers that came in Styrofoam containers:
And lastly, the urban legend that there was a penis on the cover of The Little Mermaid VHS 'cause it was drawn by a disgruntled ex-Disney employee:

channel 188 on my TV. MTV 80s.
GF had a clock radio, but she never bothered to tune it.
