Read MoreHere’s Hoping the Upcoming Animaniacs Reboot Stays True to Its Irreverent Roots
And the 1990s nostalgia train just keeps on chuggin'. Next up in We Just Can't Leave Our Childhoods Alone is a reboot of the popular animated series Animaniacs. This is both awesome and concerning, because the thought that always pops up for me whenever I talk about the original Animaniacs with friends is, I can't believe grown-ups used to let us WATCH that! There's no way they'd get away with most of those jokes today!

I'm tired just watching it.
Animaniacs taught us the capitals of every state in the U.S. and the name of (almost) every country in the world, but it didn't teach us both—probably because it would have taken half an episode to get through them all. But on Youtube, there's plenty of time for foundring to get through all of them, organized by continent for added musical flare. Just don't run out of breath there, buddy.

Read MoreFreakazoid! Predicted Internet Culture A Decade Before It Really Existed
No word on Floyd the Barber in years, though.
Kids' WB! aired the best animated shows in the 90s; and, though I'll always have a special place in my heart for Animaniacs, Freakazoid! was my fave. In hindsight, this Spielberg-produced show (about a dude who downloads the internet into his brain) accurately predicted future online culture - about a decade before the internet was even a thing.

The Boob Tube
You remember Animaniacs? How it was awesome? And kind of twisted? And had Slappy the Squirrel, who was the best ever? And how the Warner Bros. (and the Warner sister, Dot) would change the ending to their theme song every episode? YouTuber TammieRD has assembled a supercut of all the alternate endings, at least the ones available on DVD. The video's a few years old, but I just saw it, and there's never a bad time for Animaniacs. Click play and revisit your childhood.
