no need for hints for the first one if you're a product of the 80s(or any decade before that where you're old enough to remember this ad campain) and the second one some might need a hint if they're not familiar with either mtv or comedy. sorry random just realized i gave hints for you. | ||||

| and i think nick started either 21 years ago or 20 so ya it's maybe as old as me or possibly a little older or a little younger. no idea but i know it started either 80 or 81 i think(maybe that's mtv but mtv and nick are owned by the same people) | ||||

Ok note, Im not closing the old terms yet, just adding one.. "Nuttin Honey" That should bring back some good and tasteful memories.. | ||||

I think Nick started shortly after MTV (which started in 1982) anyone remember MTV's spaceman? that was back when MTV was actually about music. ahhh the good ole days... | ||||

Weird British type stuff? Apart from a hamster with glasses and a mouse with an eyepatch, I can't think what you mean. And I thought they lived everywhere anyways. I haven't got a single one of these phrases.. Guess I need to brush up on my Eighties US television, like my mum keeps telling me. | |||||

I know that, I'm just curious as to what's weird about it. Red post boxes and stuff aren't weird here. 'Nuttin Honey was old commercial for a cereal where THATS what he was eating when his wife asked him.' - That's quite funny in a poor sort of way, I wish I had some of that cereal so I could live out that routine every day and give myself a cheap laugh | |||||

| ya i know its common there but it's one of those cultural things. | ||||

I guess.. Half the crap we get on TV here is from the US or elsewhere so I suppose we're used to seeing 'weird' foreign things more This thread has got me thinking about that cartoon called Mask, which I used to think was quality when I was younger.. Anyone know this: 'Wheeled warriors explode into battle!' ? It's from something which no-one I've met for years remembers except for me.. We used to go around the playground shouting it. | ||||

no idea but anyone remember this one: (i'm 14, but my cousin was watching tv long before i was born) "You'll be hooked on the brotha's!" or this one "Yes, I AM the sausage kind of chigago" -you gotta know this one! | ||||

Did you know he had OCD? I can't believe he was able to host those shows as long as he did without losing it. | |||||

I know that phrase you mentioned Myname, It's been along time since I heard anyone mention it though. I also remember these phrases "...and knowing is half the battle" and "I have the power". I knew the shows those came quite well. I remember M.A.S.K. too, They played the cartoon as recently as '92 on WGN tv in Chicago. Speaking of retro cartoons, anyone remember Dino Saucers or Bravestarr? Those were short lived, and nobody I ever met remembers them. | ||||

| i remember dino saucers. If anyone wants to know i tried to quote the movie space balls. | ||||

More vintage talk. Anybody here watch Robotech? I used to watch that religeously! In fact it was this show that introduced me to Japanese anime back in the 80's. It had such a deep story, and was done very well. My fave character way Roy Fokker, he kicked ass! and I was PO'ed when he was killed by the zentradi  | ||||

Myname | Jun 19, 2002 | ||
| Yeah, I remember Bravestarr! Didn't he turn into a horse and an eagle in the opening sequence to show how multi-talented he was? | ||||
