What I'm about to talk about could very well only be relegated to Canada but, screw it, we'll do it live.
I miss the "raw" that the 90s was. Everything was in your face. Most of all "you were there"
YTV (Canada's nickelodeon's equivalent) had a bunch of hosts in between T.V. shows after school and Saturday morning. One thing they did was talk to us. They'd always let us in on their conversations with the other hosts. No need for Twitter. They talked to the camera as if they were talking to us. PJ Phil, you were a guidance to us all.
Much Music (MTV's superior) had bands in whenever they were in town, they were always on a couch doing an interview interacting with the crowd. Like, they would open up the windows and let the crowd in.
City TV was always showing uncut movies after 9. They also (With Much Music) had "Speakers Corner" where you would go in front of a video camera and talk about what grinded your gears. It was youtube before youtube.
Most of all everything was shown in such a ghetto but amazing fashion.
This was from Halloween, but they had these skits going between halloween shows on Halloween. A little taste of what the 90s were in Canada
