I also know there was on Nickolodeon, Double Dare and Finder's Keepers. Double Dare was the shiz. The show I wanted to be on so bad was Legends of the Hidden Temple. THAT would have been sweet.  |

HA! Double Dare was the kid's version of today's "Fear Factor". I could be on both and be awesome. Fear Factor would be easy for me. I'm a Pilot, so I don't really have a fear of heights. I'm a farm boy, so animal stuff doesn't really bother me (I don't know how many horse flys and what-not I've eaten by accident). Meal worms? Pfftt! All part of living in the country. Tossing cow pies? We have an annual contest for longest throw! The only thing that bothers me is open water. Pools. No problem. But the image of this:  NO THANK YOU!!!! |

Don't forget the size and calculating ability of that shark is more than a slight exaggeration for the JAWS movies.
Yes sharks do attack, and yes they can be deadly but there's one scene where Jaws sinks and practically eats a fishing boat. Isn't that a bit overdone? Even for a great white?

Gah! Just seeing that Still-shot makes me jittery to this day.
Even though I know that that can't happen, and I know that great whites, nor any other shark can live in Lake Michigan, I will not venture further than chin deep off the shore.
Plus, there's still the 'remains of drowned victims' and fish poop going on.
-Stepping on a broken bottle, barefoot.
-Getting sucked out by undertow (yes, L.M. has undertow)
-Getting hit by a Ski-doo and/or Speedboat.
-Lightning, like in the old G.I. Joe info spots (..and knowing is half the battle)
-Lochness.....in Michigan....on vacation, maybe?....
-Jason from Friday series.
Did you know that Al Capone and his cohorts used to run all over L.M.?
You know what the mafia did to folks? - Cement Shoes, my friend.
Seaweed scares the heck out of me, too.
Get tangled up in that, or find something that's not natural in there....ewwwww!
And, not being able to see the 'ground', too.
Muskegon River is notorious for that.
It has a gradual slope from shore, them BAAAM! 50ft drop-off (as seen in a Fish Finder.)
Imagine you're wading out. You get about waist deep and the next step, you're under water kicking at roots and sand on the ledge.
My dad's buddy lost his sister when she was 10 in the Muskegon River because of that.
And the drop-off is where the strong current is.
Again: NO THANK YOU!!!!
Eww! and "OMG!"

Oh Hidden Temple was definately awesome! Also the show Guts, then I think it became Global Guts. The cartoons were classic too! I loved all the following: Doug Rugrats Ren and Stimpy Real Monsters Rocko's Modern Life Then there's the other shows with real actors: Hey Dude All That Salute Your Shorts Clarissa Explains It All The Secret World of Alex Mack Are You Afraid of the Dark I reckon we've gotten out of the 80's talk now and into the 90's. I miss those days, lol! |

I love all the shows you mentioned Demona Firebrand. Doug was like a teenage Charlie Brown or at least that's how he came across to me.
Salute your shorts and Hey Dude, how could you not like those shows. And Mr Ernst might have been laid back but he was smarter than they all thought without a doubt.

So you're on the left coast, Beangirl.
How can a pirate hate water?
Anyway does anobody remember Blackstar. The horse with wings? And of course you have to like Scooby Doo.
In every Scooby Doo it's never really a monster but a thief posing as the monster to scare off everybody else.

Love Scooby Doo.
Every 'Celebrity' show had that celeb or celebs in 'Scooby Animation' fashion.
Remember the Globe Trotters episode?

Yes, I remember it.
Classic and I are both here kind of wondering what is so great about a Scooby Snack that you would refuse to do something for three of them being offered but you'd jump right at it for four?
It's a fair question, isn't it?

Perhaps a Scooby Snack is filled with various nutrients, but only a certain amount is worth doing something for.
Maybe Scoob and Shaggy are very health conscious and want a strict diet of Beta Caratine, but they can only get it in 4 S.S.'s.
3 would do them no good.

I used to pretend Scooby snacks were "Pizza Spins" a type of cracker. I would eat a ton of those!

Maybe they were stoned and if you bribed them with enough food they could be talked into it. Remember there were no scooby snacks if you don't do it. |

Stoned?! In a children's show?
...oh, right. I forgot about Disney, too. lol.
I forgot about the 'no snacks' if they didn't.

What was the name of that Marshell that could call upon:
The Strength of a Bear.
The Sight of an Eagle.
and, The speed of a Cheetah?
