That year in Television  

The television show ER, first aired on September 19, 1994. It was a personal favorite of mine. The first season was the best. 

Hot New Toy of the year

Sega 32X  
I’d played PAC Man, and on November 21, 1994 the Sega 32X came out. Just in time for holiday shoppers.

The Academy Award Winner for Best Picture

Best Picture: Forrest Gump                   
My favorite one liner from that movie is "Mama always said, Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."  Forrest Gump.  
What do you think of this play on words: "The Stock Market is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." ~ Dave Weidmayer.
