There was a lot of work that went into making this comedic gem, but it's so seamless when you watch it you probably never even noticed. Let's see how many of these

By Tanya
There are some toys that just last through generations and this is absolutely one of them. We had one, our parents had one, even some of our grandparents had one of these growing up.

Kids today have a vague idea of the 80s through TV, movies and just general knowledge that gets passed down, but some of us actually lived through that nonsense. There was neon EVERYWHERE, and hair was bigger than you could possibly imagine. Not everyone wants to remember it fondly because it was a lot going on at once, but you know what, we should embrace our choices. The 80s were the brightest, most colorful and perhaps the most fun decade fashion wise that we have ever had. Kids today may get little pieces of it here and there, but they

Whether you were a fan of The Giving Tree, Falling Up, or any of the other books he released over the years, you may not have realized that his career didn't

The story line essentially was that Ted Lawson, engineer and inventor developed a robot to assist handicapped children and then he brought it home to help it mature. The robot obviously had to go through some changes over the years because she was a real human kid who aged and grew up over the four seasons. The show handled this by getting Ted to give Vicki some "upgrades" over the years. It's

Can You Explain To Me How Or Why These Got So Popular?

By Tanya
Some toys from the 90s are obviously perfect and deserve all the obsessions they started and praise that they got, looking at you Barbie Jeep, while others were perhaps a little less desirable. There were some fads that spread like wildfire even though when you really look back on them, you have no idea why. Moon Shoes were perhaps one of the biggest toys around and I am not sure I understand why. I understand that they were "gravity defying" shoes, but did they really send you up all that high?
