Anyone else "catching up" on their childhoods now?

I may start rewatching some of my “I’m 3 and I’m going to watch this near every day” films,maybe also revisit stuff like Veggietales and Oswald.

Yeah a LOT of "preteen and teen shows/movies" were off limits well into my late teens, or strongly discouraged in my house. Too many "crushes" and "dumb girls" and "disrespect to authority figures" (especially parents) and "no no words" and "liberal brainwashing" in my parents' minds. A friend brought over some of her favorite PG-13 movies and my parent was NOT pleased once they started watching with us (XD) Other times, I didn't watch a lot of those tween/teen products because we just didn't have cable, which was definitely on purpose in the case of my parents. 

Same for anime-it was frustrating because I COULDN'T watch ANY of the "popular" shows because I couldn't read or watch any anime or manga above a 10+ (or so) aged rating. I did manage to sneak some once I learned...ways around the internet but I lived at home for a pretty long time and there was only one family computer, so I got to only watching it at very specific times. 

Funny enough, my parent had a similar reaction to seeing a House of the Dead arcade machine at a bowling alley/roller skating rink in the early-mid 00s (don't recall exact details), they were shocked that "bloody content" like that was allowed in a "family space." ESPECIALLY with that flying bat boss thing. I was too much of a chicken to play those kinds of games anyway though haha. 

I’ve seen both.

In like 2020 i was a Christian vegetable expert due to me redescovering the series

darkrage6, no worries! I do have some sympathy for them-they were big into conservative church culture at this time and they fell for a LOT of the propaganda that was spewed out in that circle. Everything and everyone of the "world" was a tool of the devil, donchaknow? They weren't IBLP thankfully-we were allowed Disney, some Cartoon Network/Nick shows (when we were out), and fantasy/scifi books. And there were enough quality family films and series around that I wasn't completely deprived of a childhood/tween/teen hood

Sounds like my parents and war films/series, some historical stuff was allowed. Some suspense. The occasional drama. I still remember when my parents bought me a copy of Pan's Labyrinth, that was a BIG deal!

Ah that makes sense. My parents pulled the "it's too expensive" card for many years, but TBH, considering some of the places we lived, it likely WOULD have been too expensive. Once we had a lot more money, it was pretty clear that they just wanted us shielded from the world. We DID get cable eventually. And I was able to watch (almost) as much cable TV as I wanted when we visited the relatives, similar to your grandmother's house.

Also fun fact, I was freely allowed to watch The Simpsons until a hyper religious relative visited and saw me watching it. I specifically remember their asking me: "Do your parents let you watch this show?" I said yes. And then "coincidentally" my parents started GREATLY limiting TV time after that. Interesting. Not too bitter though-I had my NES/Gameboy and books and magazines, and some internet time and Blockbuster and Burger King (LOL).

I actually have a timeline of revisiting

2019 - I rewatched and reread ALL the diary of a wimpy kid books/movies. My friend group also rewatched the FRED movies and had a good time with it.
2020 - I rewatched most of blues clues and most of fairly oddparents. I also rewatched the moomins, which was a series I got into in my early teens and wanted to see again.
2023 - Watched clone high for the first time, I think that would count as some people's childhoods maybe.

My dad is Catholic and my is a Christian Scientist(to be clear she's not one of those CS's who is anti-modern medicine thankfully but I do remember when I did get sick as a kid she'd call some CS guy on the phone for comfort or something like that) and my dad has said some ignorant shit at times in recent years(he's repeated some Drumpf GOP nonsense unfortunately) but fortunately my mom is always there to correct him and put him in his place, though he wasn't too bad growing up(He did make some comments about Kirby Right Back at Ya being too weird or something like that but that was it)my parents were too smart for most of that propaganda nonsense though not all of their friends were, I remember two of my parents friends were on the whole "Harry Potter is satanic!" bandwagon and wouldn't let their kids read it(though considering JKR's own bigoted beliefs in recent years I wonder if that convinced them to change their tune on her like it did for other conservatives who ridiculed and demonized those books in the 2000s).

I hope your parents got out of that church, my dad got most of his ignorant beliefs from the likes of Faux News(as there was a bar he used to frequent with my grandfather that played that crap and Newsmax so I suspect that's where his ignorant beliefs first came from as he did vote for Obama the first time and was pretty happy about it, though I don't know who he voted for the last two presidential elections and i'd rather not know frankly).

I actually got exposed to the Simpsons first through my cousin who stayed with us for several months due to her home life being bad(her father was a real abusive bastard to my aunt both physically and emotionally and it wouldn't shock me if he was one to my cousin as well, he used to come over sometimes and I don't remember ever saying two words to the guy but I remember being scared of him whenever he was in the room)and she brought over a TV and a Sega Genesis(Which was my first exposure to video games via Sonic 2)and she would set up the TV in both my and my sister's room, she watched The Simpsons in my room with her friends and I peaked in and watched it with them(later on I watched an episode on the downstairs TV when nobody was around, though I wouldn't watch the show on a regular basis until like 2004 and i've seen every episode since)and in my sister's room she would watch The X-Files which my sister was definitely too young for and it apparently gave her nightmares or something like that which my sister still isn't happy about. I also remember my parents didn't want me getting Soul Caliber on Dreamcast cause it was rated T and I was under-age at the time but my cousin bought it for me for Christmas one year so that was really cool of her, so I have my cousin to thank for introducing me to a lot of stuff, I ended up inheriting a bunch of her Genesis collection after she went back home(once my aunt finally divorced her awful husband). Unfortunately a few years later she died due to a DUI(nobody else was hurt thankfully and I absolutely blame her father 100% for scarring her emotionally and driving her to start acting out and getting and drinking underage in the first place)so that was pretty shocking and sad for me. 

Rugrats would be quite a haul! I've heard comments that it was basically Spongebob or PowerPuff Girls level of merchandise and pop culture fever pre Spongebob/PPG! I was recently rewatching the second movie, a big favorite of mine (I also rented the game back in the day). Never seen Rugrats Go Wild-I was attune to critic opinions by them and the overall reception of it didn't seem great. Do you also plan to watch those weird "Tales from the Crib," that spin off Angelica series, stuff like that? 

I would also love to rewatch all of Pokemon from the beginning-I've watched nearly all the movies but the series? Nah.
