The Nostalgia Hall of Fame

Nostalgia in Hall of Fame form

  • The Nostalgia HOF

    There are halls of fames for everything nowadays. You got the obvious ones: Rock & Roll HOF, Baseball HOF. You have the ones no one seem's to care about like The Rockabilly Hall of Fame, or the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame (Actually exists). But there's not one Hall of Fame that everyone cares about. There are non-sports fans that could care less who's getting in the Baseball or Football Halls of Fame. There are people that aren't into current entertainment that don't care about who's on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But the one Hall of Fame we all could relate to is missing. The Nostalgia Hall of Fame. Things change from childhood to adulthood, but there are always things that remind us of childhood or our teenage lives. We might see an old book in the library and think "Hey, I remember reading that book in 5th grade." There might be an old toy at a yard sale or on the E-bay that reminds us how we played with it non-stop a long, long time ago. So why is there no Hall of Fame for all the old stuff we like? Well now there is. Kinda. I'm not ambitious enough to build a giant building and officially induct things and give them plaques and crap. But as a blogger I can do my duty. After all, in 10 or 20 years when the new cool thing on the internet is something totally different, blogging will be nostalgic. There are several categories that something can get inducted for including: Toys, Movies, Cartoons, TV Shows, Sports, Music, Video games, Quotes and more. Nostalgia will be inducted in an at least 10 years old basis, so anything before 1998 is fair game.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Posted by Josh on May 30, 2008

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Hall of Fame Category: Lifetime Achievement

With hundreds of toys, 3 comic books series, a daily comic strip, 18 video games, 4 movies, 3 cartoon series, and over 20 years of existence (I guess they wouldn’t be teenagers anymore huh?) the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are far more than just Nostalgic. In the mid/late 1990s the Turtles were left without a TV show, a less than loved movie sequel, and a dwindling action figure line. The late 90’s almost killed the Ninja Turtles forever (Much to the enjoyment of Shredder). Somehow the Turtles evolved to become icons to a new generation while their original fans were getting too old to enjoy the heroes and their half-shells. From their debut in a dark, adult oriented comic book, to their kid friendly cartoons, and their movies which had amazing costume work for their time, the Ninja Turtles changed the face of Entertainment by lasting so long and renewing themselves to be appealing to many people from different generations.
