    It wasn’t my favorite, but it certainly wasn’t bad. When there’s trouble you call DW.

          I played a fair amount of the NES game as well as the Duck Tales game. I probably played more hours of the games than I saw of the shows.

    Old school Darkwing Duck fans really owe it to themselves to check out the most recent Duck Tales animated series. It is very much made with the folks who grew up with the 1990s Disney Afternoon in mind, with many out-of-canon cameos that will make you smile and an outstanding voice cast (lead by David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck).

    It’s also very clear that the creators were begging to make a Darkwing Duck reboot all along, but Disney wouldn’t let them, so they just crammed him into the show anyway.

    Pretty sure Darkwing Duck was part of the Disney Afternoon, and showed after school on weekdays

    Me back in 1990 every Sunday at 4:30 AM:

    I preferred the Nickelodeon lineup myself. Rugrats, Doug, Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy, Angry Beavers, and Pete & Pete.

    Then on Sunday morning it was two hours of MST3K on The Sci Fi Channel

      My parents were too cheap/poor for cable, so I missed out on Nickelodeon, unless I was sleeping over at a friends house.

      And then MST3K moved to Comedy Central for whatever reason.

        It was apparently on HBO at one point, too.

        Now I just stream it 24/7 on YouTube

        It probably is, and MST3K was probably on Saturday. The important part is that I was watching TV and not reading or playing outside.

    **I feel bad for Zoomers. They never even had Saturday morning cartoons. They barely have any good cartoons geared toward children.

    It’s actually a bit ironic that some law preventing cartoons being made exclusively to sell merch, like Transformers or TMNT, just stopped good cartoons from being made. We would have still watched these even if they didn’t sell any toys cuz they kicked ass all by themselves.

      Not to mention playgrounds that still had merry-go-rounds, splintery wood structures, and flesh-searing steel slides. We had it so good.

          We had a slide like that in elementary school, except it had dual slides. You’d climb up the center and go either left or right, and it was two HUGE metal spiral slides. One day, 8y/o me thought it’d be a grand idea to take a roll of wax paper and hand it out at the top of the stairs. 20 minutes later, I’m in the principals office, explaining why i did what i did, as kids are flying of of the top of each slide in the background…

          Good times.

          “And none of that killed me”

          Says older person that had at least one friend die from some of that on their infancy.

          When my parents pull that line, I have to make an effort not to laugh. But at least I’m aware enough to not say it to kids nowadays.

    But Wil Wheaton has been born in 1972, so basically is prototypical GenX per definition.

    This should rather be a photo of e.g. Cirroc Lofton, aka Jake Sisko…
