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.

Legends of the Hidden Temple

Posted by Josh on July 31, 2008

Legends of the Hidden Temple
Hall of Fame Category: TV Shows (Non-Animated)

One of the most original game shows ever? Me thinks so. Legends of the Hidden Temple had one thing no other game show had. It had the first, and probably the only, monolith co-host, Olmec. It was great because the show taught kids what they really needed to know, fictionalized history. And it had artifacts. Kids love artifacts. They’re art, they’re facts, and I liked ‘em. Besides, history is never fun unless there’s a maze-like temple involved and a monkey statue to assemble.

Bill Nye: The Science Guy

Posted by Josh on May 19, 2008

Bill Nye: The Science Guy
Hall of Fame Category: TV Shows (Non-Animated)

Kids hated learning during non-school hours. They tried making ya learn during cartoons and other kids shows all the time, thats why most of those shows got cancelled. But from 1993 – 1997 Bill Nye the Science Guy made learning fun. Or at least made it fun to see if he was gonna blow himself up in some kind of experiment. He never did, but it was still a great show. BNTSG lasted 100 episodes, which for that time was pretty good for a 4 year show. BNTSG spawned plenty of wannabes, most notable was Beakman’s World. Nye, however, had a creepy Mr. Rogers thing going on, he seemed to like science a bit too much. But nonetheless, as Nye would say, “Science Rules!” Or it did for 30 minutes a day.
