@cr88192: My long term memory is pretty good, so I have a knack for remembering things dating back to when I was 2 (ah, 198x). Sometimes my memories get garbled, but that's pretty rare. I'll never forget this dream that I had where it got crossed over with one of my memories of reality. To this day, I still can't remember where reality ended and the dream began. I even remember the various reoccuring dreams (mostly nightmares) I had back then. The evil blonde news anchor lady from 1987 was bad enough, the security alarm sensors that would trigger scary and horrific events that lasted from 1989 all the way until 1992, the dream about swimming in the ocean on a bright and sunny day with Batman and Robin that would turn out good or bad based on what I'd do or think as each scene would fade to black and turn into something else, and this dream with a stone, castle-like tower build with long, blackish dark grey vertical rectangular prisms, where nearly each of those prisms had a 3 digit number where at least one digit was a 6, or would sometimes say '666'. I would either walk inside the cave like entrance where there's no light but a few neon green glowing hieroglyphics along the walls (where someone would eventually grab me harshly on the shoulder), or I would try to climb the tower but never reach the top. Some of these dreams I remember are so vivid, it feels like it was just yesterday.
My favourite of those dreams is probably the one where I was Axel from Streets of Rage, but instead of beating people up, I was a rockstar with a huge, portable spiral stadium where I'd lead a band that plays the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack in sort of a heavy metal fashion. During the concerts, we'd serve belgian waffles for everyone. I could even walk among my fans without them going too crazy over me. I had this dream about 3 times, until the dream where I retired and moved to the suburbs.
@BladeOfWraith: I gave up on TV years ago. Got so tired of the poorly drawn cartoons with really lame stories and junk. I know I was easily entertained by almost any cartoon on TV back in the day (including all of the shows you listed), but now, it's just ridiculous. It's like cartoons and TV programs for young people is no longer about entertainment but about social engineering. If there's one thing I've really gotten tired of is all of the teenage high school sitcoms with some dumb kid-like mentality worrying over things like who's going to take me to the prom, how to become popular so all the girls will like me, or what to do about the big bad bully. We used to have a few decent ones here and there, but I never cared for those types of shows, but these days the genre is worse where the girls wear the pants and the guys are complete pussywhipped manginas who desperately try to cater to her in hopes to gain her attention, affection or a chance to go to the prom or some nonsense like that. I hated high school, but I didn't waste time on trivial things like that. I cared more about finding a way out of NW Indiana, building what little C++ programming skill I had and pursuing a video game career.
The words to describe TV in general these days escape me, so I just stopped watching it altogether. Got tired of the weak storylines, bogusly unrealistic circumstances, overly used lame sexual innuendo, as well as the blatant and subconscious sexism (mostly misandry, with a hint of misogyny to be fair). Even the news is just mostly scripted and is filled with nonsense that maybe only a housewife would care about, like the time this black dog had white puppies. With things like a pending global financial collapse, end of private property, frequent infringement of constitutional rights (for Americans) and possibilities for war with other countries, they couldn't make better news than that? I'd rather spend my time coding and building my future. Now that G4 Tech TV, Sci-Fi and various other channels have just gone mainstream, there's no reason for me to watch them anymore.
