Nostalgia Thread, GO!
My three favorite things I enjoyed when I was younger was Mystery Science Theater 3000, Tom and Jerry, and Calvin and Hobbes.
The former was just pure gold, and made my week every Sunday night when I was younger, even if I didn't understand some of the jokes. More recently, I've been getting the video's with the Blockbuster mail-home-thingy trial, and have not stopped laughing at the antics of Tom Servo, Crow, Mike, and Joel.
Tom and Jerry, I wasn't around while it was being produced, not by a long shot, but today I find few things to be as enjoyable as flipping through the TV with a bowl of cheerios around 9am, and finding an old Tom and Jerry episode on the random channel. I watched it a lot when I was younger, enjoying it as any little kid would, and nowadays is no different. Such capricious slapstick violence with everyone's favorite Cat and Mouse pair has a special place in my heart.
Calvin and Hobbes was a cornerstone of my childhood, I had all the books, and would read them constantly, especially in the third grade. I'd take a box and try to be like Calvin, or go out and explore the vast acres of sage brush in Northern Nevada, thinking that I was like just like Calvin wandering through his woods. Much older now, I still read them, understanding the deeper meanings behind them, while still giggling to Calvin and his adventures with possibly the best companion in the world. I still enjoy seeing the detail put into Watterson's landscapes, and later, the wonderful pacing he brought in panel design plus with his great art style.
What about you guys, what did you all enjoy when you were younger? And do you still enjoy it today?
