Oh yeah, I read quite a few of the Goosebumps books, even though they weren't really scary at all

Re: "Old school" stuff
books? ... hmmm when i was around 9 ... i had already read most of JRR Tolkeins stuff, along with shakspears works as well as many other authors ...
but my most fave books were the 'choose your own adventure' books ... loved re-reading those just to pick a different path ...
to this day, music wise i still listen to a mixture of music from the 50's and 60's with some 80's and 90's tossed in ... and then there is the occasional stuff from more modern times ... not to mention the J-rock i listen to ...
game wise ... i like all the old arcade games from the 80's ... some of the reason why i got a DS and Wii .. was to have those games again ... the feeling i get from those systems is like those games ... the graphics may not be quite as good, but the gameplay feels so much better ...
movie wise .. i like to collect older movies ... well not real old ... but like The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and other movies like that...

So did I, and I assumed it had nothing to do with the "Social Network and Relationship Finder, from Microsoft Research" that was the first hit

I owned every season up until a couple weeks ago... They took up too much space so they had to go... I can only stand hearing "THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDERCATS, HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" so many times...Goddamn that's a lotta episodes to be downloading...
Lessee... For me it was She-Ra, Darkwing Duck (no shame in that, SP
), Sailor Moon, and Power Rangers...As for books... Every shelf in my room was lined with Goosebumps.

Re: "Old school" stuff
Bugs and the whole Warner Brothers crew, School House Rock, Battlestar Galactica, Those "choose-your-path" adventure books, The whole Disney afternoon line-up (Reascue Rangers, Tailspin, Ducktales and the like), probably what I miss most though is Cartoon Network's Toonami when they would actually air anime rather then some of the crap they have now. Captain Kangaroo and Bozo the Clown from when I was small. Hmmm more later perhaps.
