Let's take a trip in the "way back machine", shall we? All the way back to 1993! It was a glorious time to be alive. Dinosaurs were back from the dead, soccer players were eating each other and the FBI was hot on the trail of little green men. How can you NOT love 1993?
Steven Spielberg ruled the box office with his smash hit Jurassic Park and moviegoers everywhere learned just how deadly extinct dinosaurs could be. Those who couldn't get a ticket to Jurassic Park were sure to check out the 'taste good' movie of the year: Alive. Whether you were a dinosaur or a Brazilian soccer player, human flesh was all the rage in '93. But let's not forget the movie with the million dollar question: Would you let you wife sleep with another man for $1 million bucks? Demi Moore, Woody Harrrelson, and a wrinkly Robert Redford got down and dirty in Indecent Proposal.
On the small screen, 1993 saw the debut of two of the FBI's most famous agents, Mulder and Scully. One a believer and the other a skeptic, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully made the X-Files must see TV for anyone interested in ghosts, aliens, monsters and the paranormal. Meanwhile, Martin Lawrence was making a name for himself and making everyone else laugh with his hit sitcom Martin and we all got a taste of life in the old frontier courtesy of that sexy Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
If grunge wasn't your thing, 1993 was the year for you. Most of the country was wearing flannels as Dr Dre and Snoop dog were taking the rap world by storm. And aging rockers Aerosmith were enjoying a resurgence of popularity courtesy of their hot young video star Alicia Silverstone who starred in 3 of their videos that year.
But not everything was a hit in 1993. There were a few misses, too. The United States screwed up big time when it mishandled that little situation in Waco, Texas. Crystal Pepsi debuted and promptly sank faster than the Titanic, and John Wayne Bobbit woke up one morning to find himself half the man he used to be.
All this, plus Beavis and Butthead! The Fugitive! Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Girls in bee costumes! And a lost dude named "Waldo."
