Is it weird to be 31 and love this?

Just ordered the box sets off Amazon. To be fair, I started watching this when I was about 9 on Nickelodeon back in 1992, but I recently ordered them for some sweet nostalgia. It's only now I can see how shockingly bad the acting is, but I still really enjoy it. Anyone else slightly older that still watches this?

Not weird. 29 and still watch reruns regularly on youtube.

No, I remember when I was in Jr High coming home from school and watching this. Now rewatching on Amazon Prime and wow the acting and storylines are so cheesy but I love it. :)

Hey the acting is only cheesy on occasion, and the storylines are usually awesome!

I never got a chance to see much of it as a kid, I'm 25 now, I LOVE the show, I've been watching it every night. And I have the entire book series too.

I didn't realise there were so many episodes I hadn't seen when I used to watch this. Looking through the episode guides I probably only saw about 30% of the show. I own Series 1-4 on DVD now and am watching the rest on YouTube.

Is there a book series??

[–] novastar_6 10 years ago

About 23 books' worth I think,

I'm 31 and just recently purchased the first five seasons on amazon. It was my favorite show growing up and still is. You can't put a price on Nostalgia!

Not weird at all!! Im 31 and we're in the same age bracket and these are the shows we grew up on and its good to keep shows like this alive so we can allow our kids to watch and enjoy them..my son is 10 years old and that was around the age I started watching this show..its sad and unfortunate that shows like this no longer come on, kids these days dont know what it was like being a kid in the 90's!

Not at all. Admittedly, some of the episodes are a little cheesy, but it's still a fun show.
