Now, Drew thinks I spent my childhood in McDonald's, but this episode reminded me that there are truly three things that give me the most childhood nostalgia, and they are all TV-related:
1. A VHS copy of the movie, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze"
2. The Adam West "Batman" reruns
3. Nickelodeon game shows, particularly Double Dare.
Also, now that I'm thinking about it, pretty much every rerun on Nick at Nite qualifies for this list. Except Green Acres.
In any case, the beginning of this episode really brought back a TON of memories that I hadn't thought about in a long time, so thanks!
