You gotta be bold to name your show Everything Sucks! because if it is moderately ungood in any way I can tell you exactly how every review will go.

Do substitute teachers not watch movies instead of teaching kids anymore?
I mean, I had one sub who would take us outside and read us a picture book. In 8th grade math.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I didn't see The Maxx when it aired, hadn't even heard of it honestly
I was at a comic shop a few years ago and it was playing on the TV and I kept hearing snippets of dialogue that sounded interesting as hell and when I saw it playing I asked the clerk, what is this, I want this

That's still probably my favourite film clip ever.
One of the radio stations here in Aus does a big poll each year for the 'Hottest 100' songs of the year, and this year their digital sister station replayed the one from 20 years ago the day after.
A whole lot of good tunes and bands I'd forgotten about but can still sing along to.
Link here if anyone wants to listen, aussie stuff is obviously going to be fairly highly represented but some great songs in there if anyone wants to keep this nostalgia trip going.

I’m watching some retro tech youtube channels and it really really makes me want to buy/build a 486 computer, install DOS and Windows 3.1 and play The Incredible Machine, Stunts, Hugo’s House of Horrors, and Police Quest.

Stunts was fucking mint. I used to try and make the biggest jumps possible.

I've been trying to find a cheap 486 PC via thrift store and Craigslist shopping for the last year with no luck. There was one 386 system that was way out in the Inland Empire but it didn't last long. I've found a lot of DOS software among the board games and puzzles at Goodwill and the like, though.
Back in high school I was forced to take Wood shop even though I knew by then I was horrible at it
So que the sub who just did not understand the teachers note of Blank is horrible at wood shop don't bother
They asked me why I explained that I am just bad at it . They go on a rant about how it's a test of manhood and what would you do as a hobby on the weekend or when things breakdown blah blah blah
I told him try to fix it and hope for the best as I am just bad at construction. He then rants about how I cannot get a job in that trade with that attitude and so on
I had shop class as part of an elective thing called "the wheel" in sixth grade, you basically had to spend a few weeks in each elective course to give you a taste of each and help you better decide which one you'd want to spend further time in
I wasn't much of a rebel or delinquent in school but I basically refused to do anything in shop class. And then the teacher tried to punish me for this by making me do push-ups (he'd made other kids do this too). I was like "uh...no" and he told me to "enjoy my F" while I sat in the back reading GamePro
Fuck shop

I won't say shop class is for everyone.
But the students it is for, its a pretty good class for them.
And as a guy who can't build or repair anything, I respect a lot of what they accomplish within it.
I went to a vocational school I'd do two weeks of academic shit and two weeks of shop. I mean my shop was IT so we effectively ran the schools help desk, but there was also the construction trades, graphic design, various car and motor repair shops, we had a fuckin welding shop. Shop was awesome.
But that was all in the aughts so not really important for this particular nostalgia thread.
The 90s would be middle school wich was the Catholic school, which had less shop, and more praying, or in my case, daydreaming about fighting dragons and shit.
I only learnt a few weeks ago that the falsetto "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin" of Little Pig #1 was voiced by Maynard James Keenan of Tool / A Perfect Circle / Puscifer. Which blew my mind, because Tool later became my favourite band and I distinctly remember a friend from primary school having that single and we listened to it more than enough to annoy his parents.

it was also given to us too soon
Yeah it was just supposed to be the 70s show cast progressing to college and the 80s
yeah, white out, scratching out pictures, subs watching movies, and calculators
how .... 90s?
hopefully the show is more substantial
Yes! I own it!

And he had it! And sold me it on DVD
i think you will really really like it
That was years ago
The Maxx rules
I used to have it on VHS but it left out several episodes
(specifically it left out the one where Maxx got into the glue)
It's worth it. Also buy the comic book/graphic novel by the same name as well.

And have your youngest son's middle name be Maxx.

Would You've Come a Long Way Baby get to be classified alongside the Chems and Fat of the Land as best 90s albums?
I'm pretty fond of it, but it's not in my high rotation. Only gets a spin every now and then.

There was one 386 system that was way out in the Inland Empire but it didn't last long. I've found a lot of DOS software among the board games and puzzles at Goodwill and the like, though.
We used to build the most pointless, impossible maze levels. There would just be branching paths that looped back in on each other.
Also The Head and Aeon Flux.
I was a kid at the time and none of it made any goddamn sense to me.
MTV sure had some weird shit on it.
It honestly depends on the sub notes left by the teacher.
But sometimes a teacher won't leave any sub notes, and in that very rare situation the sub kind of gets to do what they want.
Like last week when I was a substitute wood-shop teacher at the high school and showed Home Improvement.
whenever substitutes had my shop classes, we'd watch junkyard wars
I can usually put together some kind of improvised plan, but in a class like wood-shop/industrial design I can't really do anything.
So que the sub who just did not understand the teachers note of Blank is horrible at wood shop don't bother
They asked me why I explained that I am just bad at it . They go on a rant about how it's a test of manhood and what would you do as a hobby on the weekend or when things breakdown blah blah blah

I wish I'd taken more, the metal shop class I took was dope
welding is a very useful skill
I really got to see them live way back then and they had the puppets
