What did you think i meant? i'm not talking a Jim Jones scenario (it was Flavor-Aid Cordial flavor, people). No, i didn't change my political philosophies.
"Growing up" Kool-Aid was a summer staple. This is Sharkelberry Fin (supposedly Strawberry, Banana and Orange). i must have screwed up, because it tasted like water with a hint of fake fruit flavor. The next cup is going to be the reverse - all flavor with a little water (sometimes i overcorrect).
While i did like Purplesaurus Rex, Rock-A-Dial Red, and Mountain Berry; my favorite flavor was Strawberry Falls (the first two were briefly available as Retro Jammers - come on Kraft-Heinz, release Strawberry Falls in a similar manner).
How were the Retro Jammers? Purplesaurus Rex (grape lemonade) was not as good as i remembered (some reason i don't like the grape flavor as much as i used to), Rock-A-Dile Red was a little better than i remembered.
Back for another post on the strange amount of TV shows on DVD i have. This decade is the 1990s. In this decade, my father died, had my first date, first heart annihilation, i finished the slog that is school and found the world to be an awful place. i remember more about this decade than the 80s (very little before 1984). i may have more 90s TV shows, but that didn't make them better. There are still some animated shows, who doesn't like them.
Remember, this is 20+ years of purchases and gifts. Also remember that i probably overbought because i don't trust streaming services or digital copies to have what i want to watch (assuming i did). Furthermore, remember i have no life and some of this may be tied to happier times. My first DVD purchase was in 1999.
Have i complained about awful flipper disc yet? No, well they suck.
The 80s were and awesome decade. There were awesome shows, movie and music. Here are the TV shows i wanted to have in my collection. Once again, there are 20+ years of purchases, Xmas gifts and the like here. No, i don't trust streaming/online services (digital copies). Unfortunately, this was also the era where "music rights" started to creep in, some of the seasons have missing/altered music. There are some i don't own that i have access to (like Knight Rider).
i consider the 80s as 1981- 1990. Not the 1980 Carter year. This list may not reflect that. i also had the throw a couple of technically 70s shows here (i remember them 80s or later). There will also likely be a show more famous in the 90s that started in the 80s. Here is the list (sadly devoid of Poison Ivy).
I wish Warner Brothers was better at DVD releases (non-MOD ones)
In an earlier post i alluded to the concept that i have a semi-epic TV on DVD collection. This is part one showing you what two decades of purchases, Xmas presents can look like. Yes, i over purchased. No i don't trust streaming services to have what i want when i want it. Some of these are probably out of print and rapidly aging. i always worried the discs would get too old and start failing - along with the ability to play them.
By the way, "Golden Age" here is referring the shows of the 1960s. What is a 1980s and 90s kid like me watching these shows? i grew up with TV Land and reruns. Without further ado, here is part one of only three parts of my list....
