Written By: Marty McFly on 09/13/07 at 11:22 pm

1. Did you listen to New Kids on the Block?
A little bit, although not actually in 1989/1990. Later on I came to like "I'll Be Loving You Forever", but I respect the guys' talent, and I always was a little envious of them I guess, lol.

2. Did you ever own a slap bracelet?
No, although I knew about them.

3. The Babysitter's Club or Sweet Valley High?
Never knew much about either.

4. Salute Your Shorts or Hey Dude?
I guess SYS, although I never watched either one too much.

5. Kids Incorporated or The Mickey Mouse Club?
Kids Incorporated had some good covers, although I didn't see it until later on.

6. Did you want Dylan to end up w/ Brenda or Kelly?
Didn't really care, lol.

7. Who was Alf?
He was that furry alien dude that lived with the American family. (I'm copying Hot Stuff's answer here) ;)

8. Do you remember the show Dinosaurs?
Vaguely, but never watched it.

9. Do/did you know the words to the Fresh Prince theme song?
It's still one of my favorites. Will is the man, and he defines 1990ish culture better than almost anyone.

10. Kimmie Gibbler or Urkel?
Kimmie. Even though she was a smart aleck, I imagine she'd be fun to hang around. Although (assuming it were real and happening at the same time) she probably would've made fun of me in one way or another when I was 11-12 and she was 16. ;D

11. Blossom or Clarissa Explains It All
I always liked Blossom, the show and the person.

12. Did you have a crush on JTT?
No, but lots of girls I know did.

13. Bobby Brown or Tevin Campbell?
Bobby had some good songs, like "Every Little Step" and "Rock Witcha".

14. Step By Step or Full House?
Both, but I'm a Full House afficionado.

15. Did you listen to Milli Vanilli?
Not really, but I didn't despise them either.

16. Mr. Rogers or Reading Rainbow?
Mr. Rogers was better overall, but I like the RR theme song.

17. Did you own a Glo Worm?
No.

18. Paula Abdul: better now or then?
Both (she stiil looks the same anyway, so how could I tell). ;) But since I became a fan in 1991-1993, I'll say then.

19. Wild 'n' Crazy Kids or Double Dare?
Double Dare was a fun game from the bits I remember.

20. Remember Legends of the Hidden Temple?
Yeah a little.

21. The Mighty Ducks or The Little Giants?
Mighty Ducks was cool, it's like another Home Alone-type kids/comedy movie.

22. Did you watch Saved By The Bell?
Sometimes. I don't know it in detail, but what I've seen is cool.

23. Who was hotter: Zack or Slater?
Don't know, lol.

24. Camp Nowhere or House Arrest?
Camp Nowhere was more of an adventure.

25. Did you own a pair of Reebok Pumps?
Don't recall it.

26. Rainbow Brite or Strawberry Shortcake?
Not sure.

27. Did you watch Miami Vice?
Not really, but I like the vibe and the music.

28. Did you own a pair of Jelly Shoes?
No

29. Did you own a Trapper Keeper?
No.

30. Atari or Nintendo?
Nintendo (I still have an NES hooked up NOW. I'm very old-school with videogames).

31. Were you in love with MENUDO?
Didn't know about them until 1999, and even then it wasn't my music really. I can see why girls liked them, though.

32. Which was better: Jem and The Holograms or She-ra Princess of Power?
Not sure really.

33. G.I. Joe or He-Man?
He Man, from what I've seen.

34. What was better Micro Machines or Hot Wheels?
Hot Wheels - I used to like trying to burn rubber on toy cars, lol

35. The Breakfast Club or Sixteen Candles?
Breakfast Club was more memorable, even if Sixteen Candles was ultimately funnier.

36. Did you watch Punky Brewster?
A little bit, although I know the older guy better as Commandant Lassard from the Police Academy movies.

Yes, and I had posters of them and trading cards.

2. Did you ever own a slap bracelet?
I had several, mostly in neon colors. (I'm trying to think of the other word for neon colors. Can anyone remember? I was ALL about them when I was little and was in a state of shock and depression when I entered junior high and all of my favorite colors were out.)

Sweet Valley High

4. Salute Your Shorts or Hey Dude?
I've never heard of Salute Your Shorts and only vaguely remember Hey Dude

9. Do/did you know the words to the Fresh Prince theme song?
Yes, all of them, and I find myself singing it more than I probably should.

10. Kimmie Gibbler or Urkel?
Kimmie Gibbler. One of my friends actually went to college with her.

24. Camp Nowhere or House Arrest?
House Arrest

25. Did you own a pair of Reebok Pumps?

He-Man.

34. What was better Micro Machines or Hot Wheels?
I probably played with Hot Wheels more and I had a hot wheels race track that kicked ASS.

What's with the Sophie's Choice questions? I refuse to pick one above the other.

36. Did you watch Punky Brewster?
Only every day of my life!

^ Oh yeah I was being half tongue in cheek anyway, lol. I do know what you mean, though. She was a great entertainer and was extremely popular from 1989 to 1992 or '93. I think she still teaches dance in some form or another. At least well into the '90s she did, before Idol.

She's also one of those celebs to not really change much over the years. Not just looks, but personality, voice, etc. I guess the last time she sung was in that Family Guy episode where they edited Peter into Skat Kat's part in "Opposites Attract" (she had to redo the vocals I read).
