It's so weird! I remember and love every single one! Especially fresh prince, keenan and kel, 'I know you are!', 'Not!', and so on. I actually did make Tracy Island for an Easter egg competition at school and made the ships out of hard boiled eggs and remember getting so drunk on hooch I was sick as a dog. Saturday tv used to be great, not full of reality tv!I had hair mascara, jelly shoes, Pj and Duncans album, the Sony walkman, the 3310, loads of scrunchies, the lot! I did it all! I am so sad I actually have kept my jelly shoes at my moms house as memorabilia! Those days will never be back! (maybe it's a good thing!) But my kids watch keenan and kel and pinky and the brain and love them so the 1990s will live on forever!
