I miss Time Commanders.
Anyone who hasn't seen this, you have not yet lived.
It's on YouTube though, which is alright.
I also miss Woolworths and Douglas Adams being alive.

I miss traditional cell shading... And recess, and playing the cello, and the awe I felt when I first turned on the N64.
*sniff* I don't have a happy anymore....poor, poor Douglas Adams. And Woolworths online will never be as good.curlycrouton said:
Curses! Drate and double drate, you said it before me!
Any who.... I do miss All the classic 90's and early 2000's cartoons.
More spicificly (the ones mentioned before me)Pirates of Dark Water,Megas XLR,Samurai Jack,Invader Zim,Batman: The Animated Series and some others I can't think of right now.
I miss the "good old days" when there was actually something to watch on TV.
Now there are only certain times there is something good on.
Any time up to 8-9:00 am there is nothing but kid (8 and younger) shows, then tween stuff, and then...around 8 pm, stuff that you might actually find entertaining.
Most of the stuff you see now is mindless dribble now
(Oh my gosh I sound like my parents)(Hands on face, then screaming and running around room)AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW I'm not getting old(banging head Against desk)I'm not getting old,I'm not getting old,I'm not getting old.
Sorry about that, like I said stuff isn?t like it use to be. Cartoons use to have a message, a moral, a plot, and be entertaining (or all of theses). Now it?s just the last one, entertaining.

Oh, what a wonderful time that was.Vanguard_Ex said:
I miss Heroes, I love watching it, it is the best show on TV in my opinion. Obviously, that isn't the same for everyone. I just loved watching it at 22:00 PM. A nice show to go to bed on.
I don't know how you can miss it. I mean, there's a gas station down the street from where I am now that sells the stuff.Da pyro man 999 said:

I miss a number of the things listed above, a good number in fact. Damn you guys for reminding me...
I'll add to the list Richard Pryor, Chris Collins, and Surge.

EDIT:
I miss the nice old man who ran the pub down my street, when you came in for a meal, he used to do magic tricks for all the little ones. And he gave out free ice creams. I remember being so upset when he died, but the new manager... ugh. He's on an ASBO kick. He won't even let kids breathe loudly.
Also, the time when Disney was entertaining: fun with clever writing, if not always politically correct. Now we get all the sweet, twee 'let's never offend anyone and all be friends' bullshit. I despair whenever I have to babysit, because out comes High School Musical! Or Hannah Montana. Or... -gnaws on own arm-
Yes. Just yes. I SO miss that show. Ant and Dec were hilarious, I remember being so confused when it was cancelled: 'Huh, why aren't they there any more...?'EmileeElectro said:

But...I never enjoyed half the things I'm doing today instead.
Fast head crabs, they are so damn hard to hit. (see what I did there)
In all seriousness I cannot think of anything I really miss, nope, none. I feel horribly emotionless. I almost wish I felt loss, or nostalgia, or yearning and suchlike. If only for the reassuring sense of normality. But at least I have an unbiased opinion on old video games.
I should really be a reviewer. Shame there are so many others who think that too.
