Maybe people are just trying to forget it because of how awful it was? What show am I talking about? The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! And yes, the exclamation point is part of the title. The show only lasted one season, but wow did it ever leave an impression (on those who haven't blocked it out)

The Truth Behind Why This California Super Group Dried Up

By Tanya
There are few commercials that are good enough to spawn an entire sensation, but The California Raisins did just that. It all started as a campaign to get more people to eat raisins. Seriously, that's how it happened. Apparently the California Raisin Advisory Board said that "we have tried everything but dancing raisins singing 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine" so they gave that a try and wow, did it ever work. The ads started with some claymation raisins singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and everyone seemed to go nuts over it. So much so that these little

By Tanya
There were a lot of us who couldn't afford the latest gaming systems when we were young, so we had to find our own coping mechanisms to deal with that sadness. Some decided they didn't like video games and instead played with other toys, some would spend a lot of time with their friends who had them, and some would instead get one of these little handheld games and pretend it was just as good.
