Tamagotchis, 'Where's Waldo' and More: Your Complete '90s Phenomena Wishlist
You suggested, we listened: Here's what should have made our list.
June 18, 2014 -- intro: Yesterday, ABC News compiled a list of '90s phenomena that we hoped would make a comeback soon, and asked for your feedback too. Some of the suggestions are already in the works: "The Power Puff Girls" is being rebooted and will air on Cartoon Network in 2016, according to Variety and "The Magic School Bus" is returning in 2016 too, to Netflix. (Jog your memory of the educational show by watching these clips!)
We've added your favorite things from the '90s to the list below (in bold). Again, if there's anything to add -- put them in the comments!
