What's your favorite era of TWC? Mine is mostly from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. What about you guys?

"Live by It" of course. I also liked the 98-2001 era. That's when I discovered and watched TWC the most.

My favorite era/slogan are Live by it, the 98-01, and Bringing weather to life. However, the current era/slogan didn't go well. :no:  <_<

Agreed, those three eras are the ones I like best too. Nowadays they decide to use a unstable format which I don't like. I wish they'd bring back StormWatch and the Lifestyles OCM segments (that featured the pollen maps, etc).

XLv1 era. The best graphic design that came out of TWC in its history.

I terms of stability, I think this one is better than the Bringing Weather to Life era, which was even more unstable than this one, IMO, after the start of the 2006 Hurricane Season.

Yeah, I only liked the first year or so of the BWTL era. By late 2006 things started to really get unstable. I should of noted that.

I found TWC in 1987 and liked it then. I also liked the music in that era -- never cared for the direction the music took after about 1990. They had a great cast back then, and 1987-1990 was, in my opinion, TWC's best.

Early 90s would be a close second.

It's hard to choose, I actually like them all. I will, however, have to go with "Live By It" since it brings back memories of what I actually do remember- WS XL v2, Intellistar v1 and those ads where people walk through two different weather settings. I also miss that ad with the girl twirling the doll, and many others!  :cry3:
