I miss…. *insert childhood memory*

Smudger

Pretty much about all the little things you miss.

E.g:

tv shows (canceled)
friends/family
places
etc

(Pretty much all the cons with growing up)

Gekko135

I miss you Smudge

THE KingofSarus

I miss you Smudge

Cyan D. Funk

Edgar Winter .

Smudger

80's cartoons have to be mentioned. Or even the random movie marathons I'd have as a kid when it rained. (ET, goonies, karate kid etc)

cough naruto thread cough

Flux

I miss Pokemon being at it's prime.

And I miss Dragonball Z. I remember sitting there as a kid
watching the final minutes of Dragonball GT and feeling empty.

Gekko135

ducktales too.

And when I could enjoy games and movies without being overly critical like I am now

@Gekko135:

Toejam & earl is a prime example.

Though I have to say games like sonic 1 and mariocart have aged well.

Animesoccer

I miss random ass cartoons that weren't as popular as pokemon. Like Mummies Alive, Jumanji, and liberty kids

Cyan D. Funk

I miss being allowed to enjoy Sonic Adventure 2 and Dragonball GT.

Insider2000

I miss not stressing about anything.

No Maam

Supermax . You guys won't know it but it was a czech language , central europe broadcast original channel which syndicated international shows , ranging from Rankin Bass (Thundercats , Silverhawks , Tigersharks) , to french shows (like the undiluted awesomness of Chris Colorado) , the Highlander animated TV series , Dragon Flyez , The Mask , the Conan animated series (multiple) , to stuff like Fresh Prince , Friends and Kenan and Kal . They also used to put on Rock and Rule on easter for a couple of years as well as one anime movie about a robot which I have yet to identify till this day .

Hawkeye

I miss Phenomal.

Zyordius

Real gore in movies. The CG stuff is good in its own right, I just miss those old cringe moments.

Malintex_Terek

I miss when the internet was more exclusive (Web 1.0).

Back in the day, there were tons of people, but after a while they sort of disappeared.

But since like 2005, the masses haven't gone away. They just grow, bloat and people pollute everything. It's like illegal immigration into cyberspace!

No Maam

I also miss the days when youtube had all this copyrighty stuff on there and it hardly ever got taken down .

Also speaking from a much more reminescent perspective , I miss when RTL II did anime , and when they had awesome intro songs .

Heck I miss King of Queens in general too .

bartholemew kuma

i miss you teh old style irn-bru

Hekti

Not paying bills.
That were the times.

NANLIT

I miss Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction? I was skeptic about some of the fact stories really being fact (like the kid disappearing in the closet save for his clothes) but I enjoyed them anyway because I liked the stories.

MetaMario

@Flux:

I miss Pokemon being at it's prime.

Seconded .

CosmicDebris

I miss:

Climbing trees
Entertaining myself by creating stories with action figures
Looking foward to birthdays, and waking up Christmas morning
Slumber parties
Chasing down the Ice Cream man
Bounce houses
MTV actually playing music videos
Serendipity and Sweet Pickles books
Going outside to play and being completely innocent about how messed up and cruel the world is
My parents being together
No internet to suck up my free time

Captain Hypersock

I miss having Busch Gardens less than a half-hour away from my house.

No Maam

Well it was not that bad when it was stil "fresh" . But…..that angry bit which was about to follow is for another discusion entierly .

NicoNico28

I miss "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
Great show.

@Insider2000:

I miss not stressing about anything.

This.
I miss baton twirling and sleeping and Harry Potter book releases. I miss Bill Nye the Science guy, ZOOM, Pokemon, and dueling Yu-Gi-Oh cards with my elementary school friends. I miss being able to stay up late without feeling tired the next day and not having to worry about what I eat or classes I missed. I miss going to the inlet every day in the summer, and I miss trick-or-treating and dressing up and climbing trees and catching lizards.

Mugiwara_no_Ice

What I miss the most are the long football-days/nights in my hood.

warning, long nostalgic rant ahead:

We had one great group in my hood, different nationalities, we had morocans, belgians, turks, congolese and one guy from Chile.

And we came together almost every day , whether it was sunny or rainy. I remember one cold day in the winter when we played football on our frozen little lake. You can imagine the crazy tackles and falls.
Our group was all about sports, we played football, breakdancing, gymnastics; yeah saltos flickflacks and shit all on grass.
And if we weren't playing we threw jokes at eachother. Everyone of us had a nickname for instance.

And one day .. weed and alcohol made its entrance in our group and it was never like before. I went to university and … I still see some guys from time to time amd we reminisce the good old days.

Flux

Oh! Back before everything had to be triple triple checked, and PC, and edited
not to be too/violent/scary for kids. That shit ruins proper TV these days.

Everything has to be 'safe'. And you don't get good stuff by playing it 'safe.'

You've just captured everything I forgot to say. That's beautiful man.
Well, except the Baton Swirling. I never did that.

this. There is no fucking CG in the world that can replace those awesome special effects.

OrangeNinjasSucks

I miss when Nintendo64s were popular in schools and I especially miss Toonami.

IrishLuigi

I miss not giving a shit about things I give a shit about.

CosmicDebris

I miss, in general, a world not so obsessed with making everything CG. Both in cartoons and live action. CG is GREAT, it allows for so much more realism in special effects to be possible, but people seem to forget that sometimes it's not really the best thing in all cases. A great example is the Satyr in Pan's Labyrinth. That guy would have been much less believable as CG and the animatronics are superb.

No Maam

I also miss Playstation . Just Playstation I refuse to call it "PS one" .

There's so many games on it I stil wanna get too .

thisthisthisthisthisthisthis and this

Aside from that just Primary (or Elementary to you yanks) School in general. Back when you could spend hours playing tag and actually enjoy yourself.

S7evin

I miss a lot of things, the biggest being the awesome cartoons that ran during my childhood. A lot of them have been mentioned already and I sometimes get my nostalgia fix from Toonami aftermath but there's one show I just can't find:

0xk-XXBvwbs

Does anybody except me actually remember this?

Smudger

I miss the ignorance of youth.

Wow. 0_o That's amazing. XD

Just got sick, already miss being healthy

Also, I miss my long hair. I used to have hair down to my waste and I cut it off when I was in 4th grade. For a while, I wore it to my shoulders and on days when it looked pretty, people would tell me I looked like a porcelain doll, or a ballerina, or an angel (complete strangers, too!). Now my haircut is short, like a pixie cut but more flapper-esque. People still tell me I'm pretty, but those I've know for a while tell me how much older my short hair makes me look. I don't know what I miss more; looking in the mirror at my pretty hair or people routinely telling me that I look like a princess.
God, I sound so vain

BananaHammock

I miss the freedom, the stress-free life and just really not caring about anything.

School was nothing else than hangin' out with friends, being a dick to everyone who wasn't your friend (not like a bully though) and be able to say fuck the homework. I mean I still don't do them, but now it's not funny anymore.

I miss the days when I enjoyed stupid cartoons, like Dragonball Z, but nowadays all I see is people yelling GGRAAAAHHHH and apparently trying to shit themselfs.
I miss not having to worry how good you look and doing all weird and dangerous shit. Now that I think about it, I was quite the daredevil back then.

But being an adult isn't that bad. Now I can fucking jack off and go get wasted at the baar. Also more money.

OHHH you didn't have to worry about money, damn.

Benjaman

I miss DOS and playing pokemon red with my brother using an emulator in our pc with divide screen.

Wagomu

I miss my innocence.

Akumu

@NicoNico28:

I miss "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
Great show.

Seconded. I still watch episodes on youtube over and over again. I love that show

@Cream-of-Chicken:

Harry Potter book releases….I miss trick-or-treating and dressing up

YES.

I remember going to the release of Order of the Phoenix at B&N's when it came out. It was madness, but it was awesome. Went back for the last two, and the Deathly Hallows release party was epic. I still break out into a goofy grin when I think of all the fun we had.

And Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'd spend the entire year designing my costume, just for that one week of parties and the big night they lead up to.
I loved going through all the haunted houses back when things like that could actually scare me. I haven't even been creeped out by a haunted house or a movie in I don't know how long :sad:

Most of all, I miss the care free-ness I had up until secondary school. I didn't have to worry about anything, now I'm worried about anything.

God growing up sucks. I don't think I've ever had Peter Pan Syndrome this bad now that I'm leaving for college in less than a week:unsure:

Wagomu

I miss a world without iPhones and Blackberries.

CosmicDebris

Seriously - I remember noticing a group of school aged girls walking off a ride at Disneyland completely immersed in texting on their phones, not even looking at each other, it was a bit sad and creepy.

Sea

I miss the Vietnamese traditional lullbaby songs sung by my mother.

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

i miss playing innocent in the garden of my grandparents^^
also being able to bath there outside in a bathtube in summer haha

TakinawaTonfa

I miss P.B.Crisps, those things were the shit.

Gekko135

i miss not giving a shit about ANYTHING.

Just running around my backyard with my friends pretending to be a raptor

Nobodyman

I miss the townhouse that I grew up in for a good four years, as well as all my childhood friends.

Dervish

Yeah. I miss not having to be responsible all the time. You know, I never realized what a sweet deal childhood was until I had those freedoms taken away. Life was so much simpler as a kid: you had a problem, you told your parents or a teacher and it was dealt with. You didn't have to think about bills or schedules or car repair or any of that shit–it was just taken care of, like the world's most efficient concierge service. It'd be nice to be stress-free like that again, if only for a day or two.

Also, I miss Nestle's Butterfinger milk. That was some good stuff.

Captain Shmeckie

Fucking Ecto Cooler…!

Mokenda_mint

I miss the epic hangouts with my HS friends

I miss 80's cartoons

I miss when movie companies used to have original ideas and didn't destroy my childhood with CGI remakes :V
