Growing up I always wanted to be on one of those children's gameshows. So often they just had retarded contestants with no concept of strategy, effort, coordination, or athleticism.

That...and I wanted to do the Toys R' Us run.

Fuck yea, that god damn arcade show that was on Nickolodeon for awhile would especially frustrate me.

The kids they'd get on there were complete retards. I liked the show, especially when some video game whiz got on there and owned, but so often I wanted to punch the TV in frustration. If I wasn't so young, I probably would have been cursing up a storm.

I'll toss in Visionaries, those "knights of the magical light" eh.

Nickelodeon Games and Sports is one of the greatest channels in television history. My friend and I get drunk, watch Global Guts, Nick Arcade, Finders Keepers, and Legends of the Hidden Temple and try to come up with the most racist, sexist, and offensive jokes we can about the contestants. Such a fun hobby.

Captain N The Game Master.

I was on Legends of the Hidden temple! I was on the Purple Parrots, but didn't make it far enough to fuck up Olmec's temple.

I suck.

Bizanich · 02-13-2006, 09:18 PM

Exo Squad.

Nothing like dying cartoon characters, cool ass politics and sayings, and violence.

- Captain N
- Legends of the Hidden Temple
- Wild N' Crazy Kids
- NICK Video Arcade (fucking pwn)
- You Can't Do That On Television (what?)
- Super Mario Bros. Super Show
- GUTS
- Are You Afraid of the Dark? (more of a Saturday Night show, but still... scared the shit out of me when I was a wee tyke)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Tailspin
- Count Duckula

/sigh... now while flipping throught the channels I stop on Nickelodeon and all they have is the same poorly drawn, saccharine, ADD infused jibberish set to loop. Where have all the good shows gone? WHERE HAST THOU GONE SALUTE YOUR SHORTS?

Holy shit dude. Dredge up a video of that and post it up here. That's fucking awesome.

Sean · 02-14-2006, 01:09 AM

How the hell can only one of you mention Exo Squad?

You sorry sons of bitches, Exo Squad > *.

Rezz · 02-14-2006, 02:03 AM

Holy.. Exo Squad, that cartoon rocked. I've been trying to think of the name of that show for years, I had like 5-6 of the action figures, and some tree with glowing eyes.

PS: MASK was the shit, I wish I still had all my old figures for that, they were l33t.

Chamsie · 02-14-2006, 05:37 AM

One show that I use to love but hasn't been mentioned..

Cowboys of Moo Mesa

I'm still pissed about Batman Beyond. The first season was just so badass with pretty high production values and then you could just see as they started cutting more and more money away.
