AWW the 80s - soulsolution - 06-08-2004
AHHHHHHH i know all of those tv shows you posted..i was born in 85 and i watched them all growing up
my god grits..you brought back so many memories for me :lol:
AWW the 80s - Gwarsbane - 06-08-2004
Ahhhh all the memories, girls in short shorts, girls in short miniskirts, girls in tight pants, girls with the big hair and guys taking rulers and measuring it to see how tall they had it just to get close to them. hehehe.
btw I still think I have Oregon Trail around here somewhere and Alf is still on TV, least up here.
LOL who ever made this gave me a good laugh...
Quote:32. You thought She-ra (Princess of Power!) and He-Man should hook up. (they did didnt they?)
Duh, they never hooked up with each other cause they were bother and sister!.... They met each other in the movie though. Errr um, not that I went to see it in theaters or anything like that. <_< >_>
hehe great memories
AWW the 80s - fritoman - 06-08-2004
ah the good old days :thumb:
AWW the 80s - [CAKE]anonymity - 06-08-2004
I think I managed to dodge GRITS' crazed finger. I would have seen ninja turtles on the big screen but I thought it would have been too scary :(
Edit: My little brother knows the theme to freash prince and knows the carlton. That makes me really old then.
AWW the 80s - Scrye - 06-08-2004
hammer pants?
i thought they were parachut pants...
AWW the 80s - Squish - 06-08-2004
I'm only fourteen and i know and can do the carlton
AWW the 80s - GRITS - 06-08-2004
Ahh man that's sad relinquish
AWW the 80s - g-boy - 06-08-2004
Well... I think a lot of those would qualify for the 90s... like SS I was born in 85 and I remember lots of those... and Fresh Prince started in 1990... so yeah, I know the theme (still watch the show, still know the words, still know the Carlton). Most of the non tv stuff I remember in elementary... the slap bracelets and skip it (not that I used them, but all the damn girls went insane over them). Then there are several that are most definitely 80's. Family Matters started late 80's, but really was a 90's show (at least to me).
AWW the 80s - soulsolution - 06-08-2004
*ahem* you forgot the movies The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles.. i love them both...and what do you know...the breakfast club just went off and sixteen candles is coming on ^_^
AWW the 80s - Scrye - 06-08-2004
uummm..... someone forgot "married with children"!!!!

it was the best back then!!!
AWW the 80s - soulsolution - 06-08-2004
omg i still watch that today...my mom and dad love that show still.....and i watch saved by the bell to :>
AWW the 80s - sage_4 - 06-09-2004
a lot of the stuff you mentioned was from the early 90's, not that the early 90's was any better than the 80's.
personally i see the 80's as a cultural black pit, aside from a few saving graces.
AWW the 80s - Wha? - 06-09-2004
What about The A-Team, or the Nintendo Entertainment System (the one that wasn't super)?
Fragle Rock.. I hear it was great, I know I enjoyed watching, though I remember little of it.
AWW the 80s - [CAKE]anonymity - 06-09-2004
NES was beta quality when it was released. You got dance club lighting in a hockey game it was so bad. Plus each person had their own ritual to get rid of that stuff, but yeah it was great.
AWW the 80s - brokend - 06-09-2004
any kid from today's generation that has watched "Donnie Darko" has no need to ponder why there was only one smurfette.
and frankly, niether do i. ^_^
AWW the 80s - Scrye - 06-09-2004
anyone remember gumby and pokey?
that was the best clay-mation ever!!! lol
AWW the 80s - Gump - 06-09-2004

54, season 1 out on dvd! (i didn't buy it, I just sell it)
57 I remember jordan vs. bird
AWW the 80s - brokend - 06-09-2004
uh, gumby and pokey (despite their acknowledged awesomeness) i think was long before my time, as well as most people's here. The series started in 1962, which is quite a while ago.
But still, that, if nothing else, shows the eternal lessons that we, and our parents, and our future children will learn from deranged shaped buddhists that hang out at the Zen Cafe. Kudos, to the subtle introduction of eastern religion into mainstream american culture. And look! Look at the impact it has made!

AWW the 80s - Scrye - 06-09-2004
what?? gumby is that old?
omg... hhmmm.... i thought he was made about 20 years after that!!

SoulEvan,Jun 9 2004, 09:33 PM Wrote:CONVERSE!!! BEFORE THEY BECAME PUNK FASHION!!!waitwaitwait, again, converse has been around for a LONG time, even before the likes of Gumby. They are by no means exclusive to our generation, and before punk? Didn't you see SLC Punk? Set in 1984. They ALL wear converse.
Anyway, converse came around in 1908, and first developed the shoe most recognizable today in 1917, which was selected by Charles H. Taylor, a famous b-ball player at the time, to be his shoe of choice. They were the shoes your parents and grandparents wore, and become extremely popular when they were affordable by most consumers in the 1950s and 60s.
So you see, Chuck Taylors have been around for quite a while, even before punk, or even rock 'n ' roll was considered. Take THAT Johnny Rotten.
AWW the 80s - SoulEvan - 06-10-2004
what I meant were the 80's/90's were the final years before pretty much nobody but the punk fascists wore them.
yes I saw that movie. But I wore converse and I was neither a trouble maker nor a music lover(shudder)
AWW the 80s - FreeFall - 06-10-2004
mm yes. . I also wore shoes in the 80's ..
