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.

Doug

Doug
Hall of Fame Category: Cartoons

Doug had it all didn’t he? He had a kickass neighbor, a hot babe in Patty Mayonnaise, a beatnik sister, a dog named porkchop, and a blue friend named Skeeter. Not that there’s anything wrong with blue people, I know a lotta blue people and they are all nice people. A little loud at times, but good people nonetheless. (And, like they say, “once you go blue, you never…. go… through… it again?”) Doug also had the honor of being the first Nicktoon ever! Needless to say Nickelodeon got it right on the first try. Doug is by far my favorite nicktoon ever. Doug & Skeeter kicked the asses of Ren & Stimpy, Tommy & Chucky, Rocko & Heffer, Ickis & Krumm, and all other Nicktoons buddy pairings. Doug was not without his epic fails however. The Disney/ABC version of Doug ruined the show. Doug was happy at Nickelodeon, thanks alot mouse. All-in-all, Doug was a big part of 90’s kids’ viewing schedule, and who needed Indiana Jones when you hade Race Canyon? Anyone who didn’t watch this show lived in fear of Quialman’s Quaileye!

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

Posted by Josh on May 18, 2008

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Hall of Fame Category: Cartoons
He-Man and the Masters has to be one of the most loved cartoons of the 80s. Every kid in the 80’s wanted a power sword that could turn them into He-Man, the badassest dude to ever rock a baldric and a loin cloth. While the original series only ran for a year, it consisted of 130 episodes that fans of the show can’t get enough of. It spawn three different series because of its popularity, a She-Ra spinoff and two short lived He-Man revivals in the 90’s and 2002. 80’s pop culture enthusiasts, nerds, and He-Man fans alike lived for the one line they could count on being in each episode: “By the power of Grayskull!” Skeletor didn’t have a chance.
