'90s Spiderman Was The Best
The original Spiderman was a wise-cracking superhero who never had a problem saving the day and some of the alternates that evolved later in our childhood were awesome, but the 90s' Spiderman was the coolest down to villains and the theme song.

South Park And WWF Corrupted Us

Tiger Handheld Games Weren't Awesome
They do bring back memories, but Tiger Handheld games lacked a lot of... fun. They gave us what the video game world couldn't (until Nintendo's GameBoy) but the graphics were pretty plain and atrocious.

In 1996, Disney took over the cartoon series Doug and made a significant amount of changes that the show just wasn't the same anymore. They ranged from changing the lightning bolt on Skeeter's shirt to a zero and even closing down the Honker Burger joint where the characters used to hang out at.

We Have To Watch Hocus Pocus Every Year

The Power Rangers Weren't As Cool As You Thought They Were

Danny Tanner Is Not Who You Thought He Was
It is no secret that Bob Saget is a clean-cut Dad, but looking back at the television series Full House, it's hard to picture him as the same guy. The only way you can is if you've never seen his stand-up comedy, which you just may have watched a hundred times.

Scrooge Was The Greediest Cartoon Character Of Them All
Looking closely at the plot behind Ducktales, it's easy to see Scrooge McDuck was the greediest character to ever live. Most of the show surrounded villains trying to steal his fortune which was the biggest thing he cared about, including the first dime he ever made.

Computer Games Were Nothing Like They Are Now
Call Of Duty and Skyrim? '90s kids had Sim City, Doom and those simple but awesome school computer games where you learned about numbers and words but were only allowed 5-10 minutes to play them in class.

Nickelodeon And Disney Made The Best Magazines
Archie may have ruled the mini comic book universe, but Nickelodeon and Walt Disney created their own magazines tailored to kids. With fun facts, sports updates/trivia and bright colors on almost every page, who could resist grabbing one off the shelf while in line at the store.
