Throwback Thursday: Did it 90s? Were Dunkaroos as good as we remember?

So I thought I'd do some posts on the 90s because... I liked the 90s, I'm a fan of it... but I'm not that into Nostalgia. I used  to be really into Nostalgia... which is both ironically true and a Demetri Martin joke. I was super into the 90s Nostalgia before it was cool and now its just kind of "eh." The Spice Girls are still okay... but would I trade Lady Gaga for Spice Girls? Hell no. And today we have Lady Gaga... so yeah.

Didi is super funny, her parents are really great, Stu's relationship with his brother and his dad is funny. I love seeing the "bromances" with all the dads and the female relationships on the show also.  I also love how...
