At any rate, I miss Golden Saute.  We ate it in college because we were to poor to afford Pasta Roni.

Movies are still good

I agree with you on Johnny Bravo and pre-crap Cartoon Network

real James Bond movies

Star Trek before Star Trek V

CSI before Grissom left.

Commodore 64

Atari 2600

a time when cell phones didn't go off in movie theaters and live performances and church services. 

The Philadelphia Eagles' old uniforms.

pre-Jeffery Lurie Eagles organization

a time when people dressed up to go out and dressed up for church instead of wearing jeans and a tee-shirt or shorts. 

Wanamaker's, Gimbel's, and Strawbridge and Clothier(oldtime Philadelphia department stores)

Best(another long gone store)

Clovers(yet another long gone store,  it was kind of like Walmart, but much much better)

The Franklin Institute before all the renovations they made in the 90's

all football teams from pros to college to highschool all back in the uniforms they wore in the 1980s.

stadiums whose naming rights weren't sold to corporations.

bowl games that weren't named after corporations.

Roy Rodgers(the fast food place)

Comptons Log Cabin(a long gone restaurant in my home town where my parents meant on their first date - a blind date, and where my brother and I celebrated many a birthday, and my Grandmother's big 80th birthday party was had)

an old  theater(probably started as a vaudeville stage)  that showed movies and live performances and that was closed bulldozed just so drugstore could be built there(the drug store quickly close and now the building sits vancant).  

my Grandmother's house(my father's side), the lake that was next to it,  and my old house I grew up in. 

also it doesn't yet qualify cause its not yet gone, but soon will be: my Grandparents' house(my mother's side).  It just got sold.  The last trip there will be very sad.  I'm not looking forward to it.

What was wrong with Star Trek VI? Great Trek movie IMO, same with the new one.

I said Star Trek V, not Star Trek VI.  

Well, technically you said "before V" which implies you didn't like V or anything after, including VI.

I have nothing against Star Trek VI,  its just that Star Trek V seemed to mark a turning point.   As good as Star Trek VI was,  Star Trek just wasn't the same after Star Trek V.

80's era MTV.  Actual music videos?  What a concept.

Also, late 80's MTV show Remote Control.

Cheap Seats.  Two guys making fun of sports MST3K style.

Come to think of it - MST3K.  I know there is now The Film crew, Riff Trax, and Cinema Titanic.  But still.

2d movies. dvds.

Not gone yet but they will be in a few years. 

You sound like an employee of xhonzicorp...

BURN HIM!!!

Now that blu prices (both players and discs) are approaching "normal" levels (i.e. what DVDs were back in their heyday), and since all blu-players can play DVDs, there won't be any reason not to upgrade when your current player craps out.

I liked MST3K okay.  Everybody but that git TV's Frank.

Yeah.  Why should I change my name?  He's the one who sucks.

It's a shame they keep discontinuing it.

BORRRRR-IIIIIIING!

The entire "Border's Cafe" coffeeshops inside Borders stores. Specifically their line of thick, sweet Chai-style drinks.

Now it's all "Seattle's Best Coffee" which I find to be an inferior product.

The previous version of Microsoft Office, whichever version it was that I used to use at work.

I know, let's get rid of the pulldown menus that everyone knows how to use because we need to release a new product with changes so we can make money again.
