I can't believe it has been over twenty years since this first aired.
Where were you in 1993?
Wait, 1993? That means Cheers-spin-off Frasier and best-sitcom-ever had only just started!*
* Actually, it hadn't even started yet. This episode of The Simpsons came out in July and the pilot of Frasier came out in September. Because you wanted to know.
I don't recall much about 1993. I suppose I'd have been just going nuts about Doctor Who, with the thirtieth anniversary.
ReplyDeleteOh goodie, he found a way to talk about it again.
Jurassic Park hadn't come out yet. Or had it? It was around then...
1993 was my last year in first/infant school and first year at middle/junior school. I read the book 'The Queen's Nose'.
Delete1993 was, I believe, the year of Jurassic Park. It was not a good year for me.
ReplyDeleteI only quite recently realised how many of the songs sung by The Animaniacs were based on Gilbert & Sullivan ones...
Sorry to hear that. You really are/were a big fan of Animaniacs, weren't you?
