The merchandising is awesome too. I see kids with creeper backpacks and I wish I had things like that when I was that age.

Not sure when or where you grew up, but at least in US in the 80s and 90s there were tons of television and video-game branded merchandise...

In the 80s and 90s, it tended to be the opposite, though: tons of merchandise for which "advertising" television shows were created (things that come to mind are GI Joe, M.A.S.K. ...).
