This was really interesting episode! I grew up during that era and remember all of these toy and video games fondly (except that horrid ET game). I hadn't realized how Teddy Ruxpin saved Nintendo. The new look is great by the way.

Four minutes in and I'm already surfacing all the buried rage at how INFURIATINGLY SMUG Teddy Ruxpin was - and possibly still is, assuming he's not a broken bear sitting on the floor of a bedsit surrounded by half-eaten takeaway cartons, sticking story tapes in his back and slurring "I remember the good times" as he swigs from a bottle of off-brand gin. *ahem*. But even at the age of 8 I was dimly aware that going to the pub with Killtron and Smashoid would have been more fun.

You've made me absolutely fall in love with Teddy Ruxpin and I am HEARTBROKEN that they're so expensive because oh my god, look at those good boys, they're so good and warm.
