    Hey, anyone ever watch Supermarket Sweep back in the day? That show was awesome.

    Yes! Wasn't there another store game show that was in a mall? Or maybe not a mall, but had different department stores?

    I confess that I used to hate watching America's Most Wanted & any of the 48 Hrs. murder kind of shows when I was younger, but I love the ID Channel now!
    I LOVED Supermarket Sweep man.

    List of shows I watched growing up. Remember, no judgement.

    Full House

    Step by Step
    Home Improvement (Jonathan Taylor Thomas was my TV boyfriend)
    Tales From The Crypt
    Fraggle Rock
    Dinosaurs (Not the Mama)
    Hey Dude
    Darkwing Duck
    Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
    BH 90210
    Roseanne
    Boys Meets World (How hot did Topanga grow up?!)



    This is not a complete list, my brain just can't think of anything else right now. I may have been allowed to watch a little too much TV growing up.

    This is my list too...

    I loved the TGIF set of shows. Oh Perfect Strangers was another show I liked as well.

    I confess that it always ticks me off when sitcom shows either age characters out of the blue or write them off with no explanation.

    An example:

    Judy on Family Matters was the middle child for a few seasons, & the next season she disappeared without a mention.

    Bill Cosby was arrest around the time my mom decided to make more tamales. She told me she remembered when I made her watch it with me before I had to leave for school.

    I loved Perfect Strangers! I wish they still had TGIF and things like that. The stuff they have now is SO lame.

    I loved perfect strangers too!

    How about Bosom Buddies??? The young Tom Hanks in drag!!

    I remember Bosom Buddies!!

    How about Charles in Charge?? AWESOME show!
    Mr. Belvedere? (sp?)
    ALF?

    I remember Charles In Charge!

    Scott Baio, John Stamos, & Mario Lopez hardly ever age.

    If we're going with childhood favorites, where are my teenage mutant ninja turtles lovers at?

    He-Man!
    Smurfs
    Snorks
    Ren and Stimpy

    My sister and I used to get in knock-down drag-out fights after school because I wanted to watch Scooby Doo and she wanted to watch Mr Rogers. Mom made us take turns.

    To add to this list:
    Gem
    Rocko's Modern Life
    Tiny Toons
    Thundercats

    Does anyone remember Garbage Pail Kids?!

    Loved it!

    And for the younger gang, my kids were always watching:

    CatDog
    Rugrats
    Hey Arnold
    What was that dare thing where everybody always got covered in slime?

    Lizzy McGuire
    Even Stevens

    I loved Even Stevens!!

    Going a little more old school than that...

    Anyone watch Pete and Pete? Salute Your Shorts?

    More shows I watched (some I vaguely remember watching)

    Eureka's Castle (I know I watched this one growing up, but can't remember much about it)
    Salute Your Shorts
    Hey Dude
    Punky Brewster
    Blossom
    Mickey Mouse Club (the one with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Britney Spears, & Ryan Gosling was even on the show)
    Mama's Family (it's funny that Betty White plays the daughter when she's older)
    Growing Pains

    I remember going to the babysitter's house & she would watch all the old game shows on the Game Show Network like Match Game (that host looked & acted so pervy), Name That Tune, & To Tell The Truth. I'm pretty sure she watched Price Is Right every morning too.

    I watched Eureka's Castle (but didn't really like it) and Growing Pains.
    Growing Pains was good until Leonardo DiCaprio showed up.

    Just as bad is when an actor/actress quits and so they replace them in the next season with someone who doesn't even look remotely the same.

    I never heard of that one. Though I remember floppy disks!

    I played Oregon trail on floppy disks during elementary school!!

    Do you remember the show Weinerville?

    Randomly a few weeks ago my 30-year-old sister busted out "I'm Boney I'm Boney leave me aloney!" That's the only thing about that show that I remember.

    A stupid trivia fact I know:

    The guy who voiced the baby dinosaur in Dinosaurs was the voice of Elmo.

    I played Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego, and Mo's list has stuff I know on it! I loved Full House and Boy Meets World too and I watched Home Improvement with my dad, who is pretty much a less-disaster-prone Tim Allen in real life which is I think why he liked it so much.

    Tangent: Later on, I remember my dad watching That 70s Show and saying "No, no, never mind Home Improvement, THIS was my life! I was Eric Foreman!" to my mom and I. He was in his mid-teens at the beginning of the 70s and he's never identified so closely with a TV character, it's pretty cute.

    I've never seen a TV character I felt that way about, but I do think that the movie Superbad was probably the closest thing to my high school experience (barring the McLovin stuff, haha.) I feel like I knew those guys and they showed up at my friends' parties.

    This particular plot of that movie made me laugh until I could not breath.

    Seriously? Now I will have to look!

    They were just playing with those at P's school yesterday..if I'm thinking of the same thing. They actually had little ropes tied to them so they could pull each other around.
    They also played with a parachute last week! :)

    Fresh eggs will not peel. Let them hang out in your fridge for a week or two

    Pardon? I only keep boiled eggs for a few days......

    I *think* she meant the raw eggs, not boiled. I DO keep my boiled eggs for quite a while, though, if I haven't peeled them right after boiling. Unpeeled, they last a long time. Peeled, they start to smell a bit funky after a while.

    She meant the raw ones. I never bother boiling just-bought eggs. I pick them up a week in advance. They always peel super easily when they're "old."

    I tried the vinegar thing this morning. It seemed to work really well.

    Yay!! I am glad I could help. I'd hate to see your walls covered in boiled egg.

    I'm not the egg thrower. I can't remember who that was. @peleroja or @ShibaEars ?

    Oops! Confused...but I would hate to see anyone's walls covered in hard, or even worse, soft boiled eggs. It was @ShibaEars

    Haha, I'd never throw anything in our kitchen, it's all shiny cabinets and stainless backsplash and cleaning them is bad enough without intentionally making it worse. I know we've discussed how much I hate stainless steel before but I HATE STAINLESS STEEL. And my stupid contemporary shiny cabinets.

    I really am a huge grump lately, huh?

    Moi aussi. I have dogs. I do not want to spend all my free time cleaning.

    And speaking of old computer games, anyone else have "computer lab day" in school where your class got to go down to the computer room to play Oregon Trail on floppy disk??

    Yes, Oregon Trail was the best game ever..until you died of cholera. ...

    I never heard of that one. Though I remember floppy disks!

    I played Oregon trail on floppy disks during elementary school!!

    I remember playing that.

    Do you guys remember in gym class when we had to use those stupid boards with wheels that you sat on & ran over your fingers?

    Stupid?!? Those were amazing! If you walked into the gym and saw those (or the parachute) you knew it was gonna be a fun gym class!

    They were just playing with those at P's school yesterday..if I'm thinking of the same thing. They actually had little ropes tied to them so they could pull each other around.
    They also played with a parachute last week! :)

    I'm surprised they let kids play with those now, I remember them being rolling finger-crunching devices. I also remember how fast you could get going before you hit the wall, haha.

    sigh...When I found that I couldn't eat peanut butter in moderation, and had to get it out of my apartment ASAP, I not only threw it away-I drowned the jar in water first so I wouldn't be tempted...

    I can't believe I shared that.

    This made me laugh! Totally something that I would do. I just have this weird image of you holding it under the water going 'shhhhh I'm sorry but we can't be together'.

    I have never:

    Experienced online dating
    Watched Glee
    Had a bowl haircut
    Worn a fauxhawk
    Liked Sesame Street

    Well I can join you in all these except Sesame Street. I loved SS. I loved Mr. Snuffalufagus. (SP?).

    He was my favorite too!

    I tried online dating
    Watched Glee one time
    Never had a bowl haircut or a fauxhawk

    I have never

    Watched The Real Housewives of Anywhere or Keeping up with Anyone

    I've never watched the Real Housewives or Keeping up with whoever but I do think both have been on in the cardio room at the gym (I don't think that counts since I really wasn't watching even if I'd had control of it).

    I've also never watched:
    any "Swap" shows
    How I met your mother
    Game of Thrones
    99% of everything else on TV

    I've seen Keeping up with.. a few times.
    No to all the others listed.

    I do like reality tv though.. :grimace: a little too much. And that is a confession...

    I've confessed that before in here too, I know! I love terrible TV. It's all TLC and cooking competitions and Animal Planet at my house, all the time, and I have no shame.

    I watched My 600 Pound Life & Skin Tight (new show) on Wednesday.

    What is Skin Tight?? I watch 600 Pound Life.

    Skin Tight was the second hour of My 600 Pound Life (I don't think these were people that were on My 600 Pound Life). They featured two people who lost a lot of weight & had a lot of loose skin & detailed the surgeries they undertook & how they looked after the surgeries.

    Watching it made me wish I could get surgery on my arms, legs, & lower stomach.

    I watched both of those, too. I thought the blond chick on Skin Tight was a whiner. She didn't like her loose skin, but then she didn't like her scars after the surgery. She seemed to get better at the end. I probably won't watch that again, but it DVRed along with my 600 LB Life, so I gave it a shot.

    And this. She made me cry in the beginning but I was angry that she was so whiny at the end.

    I PVR's 600 lb Life just for fun and Skin Tight recorded too.

    I just wanna know... who throws a big party to show off their new surgically altered self? Isn't that a little... off?

    I played Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego, and Mo's list has stuff I know on it! I loved Full House and Boy Meets World too and I watched Home Improvement with my dad, who is pretty much a less-disaster-prone Tim Allen in real life which is I think why he liked it so much.

    Tangent: Later on, I remember my dad watching That 70s Show and saying "No, no, never mind Home Improvement, THIS was my life! I was Eric Foreman!" to my mom and I. He was in his mid-teens at the beginning of the 70s and he's never identified so closely with a TV character, it's pretty cute.

    I've never seen a TV character I felt that way about, but I do think that the movie Superbad was probably the closest thing to my high school experience (barring the McLovin stuff, haha.) I feel like I knew those guys and they showed up at my friends' parties.

    Unfortunately, Dazed and Confused is the closest to mine. I saw that movie with a friend from high school and we could match up all the characters with people we'd known.

    What kind of game is that? Reminds me of Leisure Suit Larry......it was all fun and games until you got VD from a hooker and died!

    Now THAT reminds me of someone... ;)
