Well I finally decided to start watching this show. All I can say is...you are so f'ing right! Me and the wife have been watching a few a night and are almost done with the first season. It is definitely hit/miss, but the hits are great. I love how they get the real voice talent to come in for the skits. How in the hell do they pull that off? My favorite part of each ep is to scan the voice talent and see who was real.
My only real complaint is that I wish they used more real action figures. The custom clay ones kind of take away from the nostalgia. Is it a copyright issue, or do they just want a more poseable/articulated doll?

The most unique thing about the 90s will be how ordinary they were.

According to the commentaries (yes, commentaries...), its the actual cost of the toy and the pose-ability of the toy. Apparently they do a lot of eBay and thrift store shopping. They also try to cut down on the number of nice toys that they destroy. In some ep (I think the one with Burt Reynolds and the street race) they had to destroy a mid 80's Batmobile that was in near perfect condition. That damn near killed them, but they couldn't find a cost effective alternative in time.

That's what I dealt with as well. I always wanted Transformers like my friends had, but my parents would get me "Go-Bots". As a young kid you get made fun of for that. Go-Bots were refered to in the social circle as "Poor Kids' Transformers". :'(

Gobots predated transformers you young punks... we didn't have those fancy transformers with their "Autobots" and their "Decepticons" and their fancy pants "omega supreme" ....until a year or two later.
I was born in 73. All you 90's kids can't even begin to phantom the things that happen to a young mind when they are exposed to things like "Sha na na" at such a ripe young age..... of course we did have "Chips".... and I remember my parents taking me to see the original Starwars in the theater... the FIRST time it was ever released in a theater!

I know Sha-Na-Na, and have even seen them in concert when I was a kid. Around here though, the Van-Dells are the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. I have been watching them perform every other year or so since I was a wee toddler.
