Being born in the early 90's makes me feel really old!
Looking back I really do feel that the generation what where born in the 90's had the better of it. Don't get me wrong I like seeing ten year olds spend their days on their mobile phones and playing Call of Duty on their PlayStation 3's. However I wonder what they would of done if they were born in the early 90's.
When I was growing up I use to watch some of the greatest television ever made was something special. When I was Ten we would go out and play sports and talk about what Pokémon episode they watched or what Pokémon they caught the night before.
They also brought some of the best memories of my life that I will bring with me my whole life. Yeah I did not have many friends, but what I did have was something even better ( to me anyway ) I would find myself spending endless hours watching some of the greatest TV shows of our generation the likes in which we could quite possibly never see again (remember this was back when cartoon network was good).
Plus Disney made the best films back then, don't get me wrong I still love watching Disney films that are new but there was something about the old ones that I just love so much. Looking back I think that knowing the something like Doctor Who has been on our screens for nearly 50 years is something really special! I honestly feel that Doctor Who will still be on the old box even after were all gone.
Even though I loved the 90's TV shows, some of today's ones are pretty cool, I still watch Doctor Who (the best thing on telly) and properly will until the day I pass into the underworld and see Hades.
I have a quick question for you. Do you remember shows from when you were growing up? I do, they are still fresh in my memory.
The real question is will people who were born in the early 2000's remember TV shows they watched in Ten years time? That my friends in the real question, you have to ask yourself.
Most times when I am at home, depending on the day I spend it catching up on the TV shows that I missed. For example on Mondays I watch once upon a time and Game of Thrones. Tuesdays its 2 broke girls and how I met your mother, which has one season left. Sad Times!
Wednesday is coursework night and then on Thursday it is time for some Arrow and on Friday its a busy night with the likes The Big Bang Theory, Person of interest, Glee (don't laugh), Two and a half men.
When I have a child, I will be showing him/her the shows I watched when I was growing up, so that they know what TV shows his/her daddy loved as a child. I might then throw in some Ben 10. Star Wars will be watched along with all the Lion King movies. I can tell you that now.
I am not like most twenty year olds. Most twenty year olds I know like to go out and get drunk and have loads of fun. I on the other hand like to stay at home at the weekends. The one thing I am so grateful for is being able to grow up with some of the best cartoon programs ever made. I still remember all the shows I used to love back in the day (over ten years ago) I feel old! I still love those shows even to this day.
Pokémon, Yugioh and Dragonball Z are good examples along with watching the old Scooby-Doo episodes and yes even Johnny Bravo every so often. I find it pretty cool that people my age tend to listen to rap music and people like Justin Bieber and 1D. Then you see me and I'm there listening to the 80's/90's rock and roll music while wearing a Rolling Stones t-shirt.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this :).
Have a nice day!
