Things that were fun:
Things that were fun:
- No one had cellphones; therefore, kidnapped folk could not be so easily rescued.
- Botox didn't seem to exist. People looked REAL.
- Blinding white perfect teeth were rare. Now everybody looks like a Barbie doll.
- Commercials for NOWHERE MAN with Bruce Greenwood (aka Captain Pike from new Star Trek movie)
- SUVs were rare and barely seen. People had ordinary cars!
- Phonebooths still existed
- You could laugh yourself silly at the women's hairstyles and shoulder pads (although I hear they're bringing those back)
- You can see folks who are now on Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis on it in tiny roles. Heh, David Hewlett is sooo young!
- Guys (aka men) weren't afraid to show emotion and pat each other on back and hug each other
- Watching the computer geek work on an ancient computer is sooooo funny.
- Watching news bits from 1993 is just weird beyond belief. Ohmygod, gas is $1.35 a gallon. Heinous!
- Oh, and your luxury cars are $15K. Now $15K is bottom price!
- Chris Potter. Yum. And Kwai Chang Caine was cooler than I remembered.
