Sounds expensive but it's worth it to ensure it'll be professionaly done and that it's forever preserved.

That's cool those shows are all still available, but it's also nice to have the commercial breaks preserved. So many of those commercials bring back major memories for me. It's funny how as a kid I hated whenever the commercials came out and disrupted the program I was watching, but now they bring back so much nostalgia.

Yes I love watching old commercials from my childhood. Luckily people post those commercials on YouTube all the time. The problem with digitizing is the cost. Family stuff is a different story so it’s worth it. But just tv shows/commercials I can at least see on other mediums. The family stuff sadly I can’t see unless I have them digitized

I said it before, but it's easy to waste hours on YouTube looking at nothing but old commercials. I've spent numerous hours looking at commercials from Nickelodeon, MTV, etc. back in the day and it's always so fun. Old toy commercials from back then are especially cool.

Absolutely. Honestly that’s the only reason I use YouTube. I was binge watching all the tales from the crypt on there because somebody thankfully posted them all on their channel

I also looking at cartoon intros from when I was a kid. 80s and 90s cartoon always had cool intros and especially with their opening songs.

Anything that aired on Nickelodeon, Fox Kids and Cartoon Network back in the day was pretty much my jam. Especially Nickelodeon. 90s Nick accounts for like a third of my childhood nostalgia.

Don't forget Are You Afraid Of The Dark? I'm so happy to see that show has made something of a comeback.

Yes. That was probably the most mature/darker shows on Nickelodeon. Obviously it was still for kids but definitely a different tone than the usual

Watching it nowadays it holds up amazingly well and it's shocking how mature it is for a kids' show. Which I think is part of it's appeal as an adult beyond the nostalgia, it's very dark and adult for a kids' show and pulls no punches when it comes to being scary despite being aimed at kids.

I agree. I still love the other shows as an adult but are you afraid of the dark? Was definitely different
