Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
I personally loved Barney as a kid. Maybe it was just everyone grew up and figured because they were too old to watch the show they should hate on it. I stop watching shows, but I don't say they aren't/weren't good unless I feel they really weren't.

Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
I think it was just that Barney has little to no appeal to children past a certain age, and so it was treated like a rite of passage to not like Barney anymore. Just like some adults will buy a needlessly expensive car to show off that they're successful, I imagine kids tend to turn that lost interest into an intense hate just to show off how "mature" they've become.

Barney wasn't a my thing, but the Blues clues was. I used to have a cook with Barney book and now it's gone. That's all, I don't find Barney Bad.
Ummmm that reminds me.. I don't have a watch and I'm thinking about getting myself a Victorinox watch, which is 150 bucks. They are made by the swiss army knife making company and their stuffs are long lasting ones. My Dad finds that it is unneccsary to get a watch that is 150 bucks and told me to get one from Costco, 'around 20 bucks. even though I'm buying one with my own money.

While I don't personally see why you would spend that kind of money on a watch because you want one, I don't think your dad should be telling you you can't if it's your own money.texascat018 wrote:My Dad finds that it is unneccsary to get a watch that is 150 bucks and told me to get one from Costco, 'around 20 bucks. even though I'm buying one with my own money.

If you want a watch to wear everyday, I would get a cheaper one. Save the expensive one for times when you need to dress up a little, like church.

Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
My mother always wanted each of her kids to watch a children show when she was raising us. For me, it was the chipmunks ~ she thought their squeaky voices were cute. my sister was Barney also. As for my brother? Spongebob for the most part. Ddin't know any children cartoons around the time he was born, but Spongebob was as close to a children's show he could get at his age, but i recall my mother trying to get him into Dora the Explorer. We're all 8 years apart incase you guys were wondering =P

Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
I watched Barney on occasion as a kid, but I didn't love it. I think it's the fact that it's the stereotypical kids show, a giant purple dinosaur teaching over-expressive kids how to count. Also, once you grow up, knowing there's an adult man in the Barney suit becomes unsettling...
As for your watch TexasCat, I'd say get it if you really want, I always wanted a pocket watch but they were super expensive, but I would've saved up and bought one had I not found a Doctor Who one for $30 (good quality one too). The only problem I would've had with having an expensive one is I'd be too scared to wear it everyday. I don't often have things break from general wear and tear but Murphy's Law tends to make fools of us.
Is there a picture online where I could see the one you want? Just out of curiosity.

Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
My parents didn't really need to force me to watch kid's shows. I still watch some of 'em. The only family unfriendly thing I still watch regularly is South Park and I never even watched that until I was an appropriate age for it.

I kinda don't get it, why would you get a cheaper one for daily use? if you are worried about it breaking, the watch is by Victorinox; Swiss army knife company.

Science rulz! I'm in to fancy classy-military watch. chicks eh? though I'm too nerdy to have chicks around. I mean I do have few female friends but not to an extend of hanging out after school.Seth wrote: Dude I just wasted 30 bucks on a spuds mckenzie snapback.(which amazon will hopefully ship to my paren't place by thanksgiving so I can go be all white-trashy with my mom's extended family) Just tell your dad to be glad you're getting something classy.

so, I found a alternative
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/8 ... L1500_.jpg
this one was also worn by Macgyver, it looks really really military, but not too fancy and cheap, just 30 bucks.
ohhhhhh which one should I get?

you should get the cheapsr one, it'll probably last longer
Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
That Victorinox watch looks really nice, and actually really sturdy, although it seems $150 is a bit much for it. I don't love the khaki on the other one but it looks very good and similarly sturdy, if it's $30 I'd probably go for it.
BUT that's my choice.

Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
*massive sonic fan walks in*Sleet wrote:Sonic has been around over 20 years. He started out extremely popular and he's held on to a good amount of that popularity ever since. Needless to say, there has been significant opportunity for different media. On top of that, two cartoons were made in the '90s, as well as a comic book series. One of the series and the comic book (which are essentially the same continuity) are very well-done and have established a very big universe with a lot of characters and plot lines, many of which the games don't even get involved with. So needless to say, the fanbase has a lot to latch onto.
Just to correct you, there were actually 3 sonic TV shows in the 90s, and one OVA as well
"Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog"
"Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)"
"Sonic Underground"
and "Sonic The Hedgehog the Movie (OVA)"
Sonic has also since had one more TV show this decade in the form of "Sonic X"
There have also been two respective comic books, the Fleetway and the Archie series.
The Archie "Sonic the Hedgehog" Comics are closing in on 250 issues, as well as about 200 issues-worth of spin-off series (one of which, Sonic Universe, is still ongoing)
The Fleetway comics "Sonic the Comic" had about 184 issues of new story, then 40ish (?) issues of reprints. The comic has since gotten its own official online continuation in the form of StCO (Sonic the Comic online)
and thats not to mention all the Sonic games SEGA has released.

Re: Chat Thread 38: You Guys Are Old
To add on that OVA, rumor has it(untill it was more or less confirmed) that the OVA was actually meant to be an entire TV series, but the first two episodes(the OVA) did poorly with the test audience. So the writers said "Forget it. We'll just slap these two episodes together, and call it a Movie."TheMobian wrote: Just to correct you, there were actually 3 sonic TV shows in the 90s, and one OVA as well

The reason why it did so poorly: nobod knows, but my guess is the audience thought it was just for kids(which it was, but it was also for teens and adults), and were appauled at the GCPTR moments(you know the ones )and reacted poorly. Poor Communication canceled it, in a nutshell.
So to reiterate: because of poor communication(it was meant for all ages, particularly teens, but the audience didnt know that) killed a to-be-series where Knuckles was an AWESOME treasure hunter, Sonic and Tails ACTUALLY ARGUED from time to time, AND THERE WAS A CAT-GIRL ...waaahh..

Just read yesterday's newspapers... Almost every newspaper comic pretty much talked about how our lives are ruled by Facebook, MySpace, Skype and Twitter. When even Blondie talks about Skype, it feels silly.

I don't bother with any of that social media stuff. I have a phone and an E-mail. If you want to talk, call, text, or E-mail me. It makes it so much easier if only people I give this stuff to can talk to me. And people I don't know can't get my personal information either.
