🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞The show ran from 1991-1999.
The internet went public in 1992.
imdb was on the internet in 1993.
Other search engines existed before Google. So while it’s true nobody could google anything before 1998, it was possible to google the actor before the show ended its series.
Yeah. We had the option to look him up (I used dogpile.com, myself). We just didn’t want to look it up. We didn’t have the annoying need to try and ruin everything by looking it up on the internet.
Speak for yourself. lol
I grew up spending time reading encyclopedias for fun, but also doing reports by going to the library and seeking out likely sources in the card catalogue. Being able to access information online was revolutionary.
I’ve never looked back.
I don’t recall IMDB being particularly good with TV shows until the 2010’s, though.
It was merely one example. I’m sure that was the only site anyone could use to look up what actors looked like.
MinnesotaGoddamalt.tv.homeimprovement probably was not that active
The Internet in the 90s was mostly text based. Do you know how long it took to view an image of considerable quality? I sure as hell would not have wasted my time (which was also limited because you paidby the minute) to look up this guy.
I’m intimately familiar with waiting for interlaced 4 colour gif images to load at 1200 bps.
Wow you were and early adopter. I remember my first modem being 14.4k and I was the first along the people I knew at the time.
It was an external modem that plugged in the parallel port.
With some wild ascii art I hope.
modem that plugged in the parallel port.
Since that’s so wildly unlikely, what was the model?
I’ve run into a few of these at work in recent years actually. This is a 56k modem but given 14.4k is even slower, it is very likely.
US Robotics 1 020 0439-00 80-010955-01 56Kbps Courier Everything External Modem share.google/sonEV4wqjG1suyQB5
Couldn’t open that, but web searches say rs232. Serial, not parallel, just like essentially all external modems.
No way I remember that, tried google image and couldn’t find it but dound a lot of similar products.

Simpsons - Internet King vs. Comic Book Guy
Read his name in the credits then look him up in the library.
Though I doubt that would work for this.
I don’t know about millennials but we Gen-Xers definitely couldn’t Google shit back then. The most we could do is go to a payphone and page someone because half of everybody had beepers for some reason.
Captain AggravatedI’m right slam in the middle of the millennials; I first heard of google in 8th grade.
That would put you around ~87, and 14 years old in 2001. Google came out in late 1998 I think. So it really isn’t all that hard to believe there was slow adoption in some areas, and 3 years I’m not even sure if I’d call it slow when it comes to school systems and such. In that time period schools were just acquiring computers and setting up labs/figuring out how to introduce them into curriculums. They knew typing was going to be needed for all of the students but most didn’t have the budgets to bring about all the changes they wanted. I think I had 2 or 3 essays in 1998 that we were brought to the lab of about 15 computers and had to type and print them out to turn in. They had 1 lab they set up and they rotated half the class went in the morning, half in the afternoon. Then they rotated which class/grade needed had access to make sure everyone grade 3-5 had access a couple times a year.
I was born in 89, so a couple years behind you. By the time we got to middle school though we had a required typing course with those black covers over the keyboards to force all the kids to type without looking. Think that was 6th grade for me
I am an '87 model, class of 2005, 8th grade was 2000-2001 for me. 8th grade for me was the only year I did at a brand new middle school; the school was for 6-8 and it opened my 8th grade year. They made a big thing about computers, and we all got at least some training in MS Works. Yeah. I took an elective class instead of like, Spanish or something that was more training in formatting shit like memos…I’ve never written a “memo” in my fucking life, memos were repealed when I was in college, you use email or teams or something now. And I took a course my freshman year of high school about the same thing.
I swear there were like 5 kinds of memos that were formatted differently we were supposed to know the differences between. That class was like British table manners. “If the starter course includes a meat dish, hold your starter fork without using your thumb or smallest finger, while crossing your ankles with your left in front of right on most days and right in front of left on Tuesdays and the Queen’s birthday.” “For an inter-departmental memo, single space and hanging intent, with the address of the company left justified and the contact information of the memo’s originator right justified. But for an intra-department memo…” That’s where I was on 9/11, in that classroom. I didn’t learn much about typing in there, I learned how to type on MSN messenger hitting on girls.

I never needed to google his look to know he was wise.
The D Quuuuuilland i refuse to look into it for keyfabe reasons
Mostly_GristleI remember the cast being at an awards show or something back when the show was at its peak popularity, and to continue the gag this guy wore a mask over the bottom half of his face that was a tiny fence made out of popsicle sticks so that people still wouldn’t know what he looked like.
trashCorrect, and I still don’t know what this fine fellow looks like.
There was a brief moment when his mouth was slightly visible through a gap and that excited me more than any fanservice (not true, but you know…)
Because the internet didn’t exist in the 90’s. /s
Edit: I think I get it. OP didn’t exist in the 90’s.
Search engines did not work that great back then and without imdb or wikipedia, there was`t concentrated places to see headshots of people that did something interesting.
dandelion (she/her)before google & wikipedia we used the CIA factbook and Ask Jeeves 😄
Fotos were rare, and it took forever to download them
