I was a late-1990s kid, I hope my answers aren't too stupid...



Do any episodes survive of 1950s Australian version of "What's My Line"?

The tv shows. They were all so marketable, it was almost as if they took over pop culture. No matter what genre, there was just enough content to aim at kids as well as adults, whereas right now, the content is mostly for one or the other. The only shows with any real mainstream appeal right now, are the ones that actually acknowledge their fame. Basically reality tv or any show about music, which just sucks.

Jeice your list wasn't bad at all for someone who is a late 90s kid.

@Nike I can agree with that about 90s TV shows. I think 90s TV sitcoms are the most talked about.

1. Mesmerizing alternative rock with interweaving chords

2. Yeah flower print clothing! Dresses that looked like curtains. baggy t shirts and straight jeans.

3. Curtains hairdos for guys, oh and bangs and shoulder length hair for girls

4. Commercial with crazy rollerbladers do extreme tricks, tobacco filters, Color against black and white

5. Cynicism and angst

6. 32 and 64 bit games, Nintendo and Super Nintendo (not N64! That's like millennium…), Turbo graphics and arcade games.

7. Carefree adventurous shows and movies, there are some shows I really enjoy today but they're always so freaking intense all the time.

Music actually was GOOD then. And hip hop wasn't dead like it is now.

Big shoulder pads in women's clothes, but that might be 80s.
