26. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

More 80\'s TV
Knight Rider
A-Team
Macgyver

Now this is a story all about how my life got twist turned upsidedown! (i can do the carlton as a matter of fact)
biker shorts under skirts was and IS strangly sexy
fraggle rock was like drugs for kids.. and was also awsome
well i can\'t comment on all those but once i figure out the whole traversing time the 80\'s are WAY up there on my list (no sk8trs, avril, crappy reality TV, gangstaz, the crap MTV (because the ever owning old MTV was around then) and no \"dewd\" as atari 2600 was the latest and greatest in gaming equipment.. i still own my 2600 as a matter of fact complete with yars revenge, pitfall, adventure, pinball and many others
-
*wipes eyes and rubs face to get rid of ache* ah the years of youth have once again struck me...Oh no leg warmers are creeping up on me!!! aaargh!!
brilliant :D
-
i miss the 80\'s :( there ownage burns at this point (A-team vs. \"freinds\" .. need i say more?).. plus i feel old now XD
-
I didn\'t grow up in the 80\'s, but I still enjoy MacGuyver anyway. :P
-
the eighties was the silver age of children\'s television programing. if it wasn\'t the silver it comes pretty close to golden age.
yeah the shows were mostly 25 minute commericals for the toys. but they still were cool.
the great potential of the furture was yet to come. the energy of the 70\'s had carried forward and built on itself. all things were still possible in the eighties. but what happened. it\'s like we lost the drive to move forward.
i miss the eighties.
of course it could just be the old looking back at our own childhood... but still. i miss the eighties.
-
Mysterious cities of gold..need i say more?!
:D:D:D
I thank you
-
i had every teenage mutant ninja turtal toy my favorite was donatelo and i thought the movies where the best thing in the world.
i can relate to alot of that list
-
I can relate to a number of those things and I\'m a 90s kid.
-
80\'s stuff is awesome, even though i wasnt born until 88...
the end of the 80\'s was made by the personal computer and the internet
-
I suppose us being born in 88 and 89 make us 80s babies.
Close enough.

are you nuts?!! how could you like donatello? imnsho, Raphael was the coolest.
*sighs softly* i miss the good old days of waking up on a saturday morning to watch some good cartoons.. not like today where kids are faced with things like recess, or tarzan.. or even worse things
-
Fox box has the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I watched my old animated movies of the turtles and shredder was such a dork then it ashamed me.
The new one is uber.
Even though he\'s a blob in a robot suit.
he got his head lopped off and stood up afterwards.
And carried his head away.
it rocked.

I think \"80s kid\" Isn\'t really a referal to kids who grew up in the 80s, anymore. Kids now watch VH1 \"I love the 80s\" or w/e or hear stories from their mom\'s and dad\'s, come to school and brag about it to their friends like they supercede time or something. Quite sad actually :/, I mean they aren\'t impressing anyone who matters. And if they do impress the little gal or guy they\'ve been eyeing for the past couple of days, it\'ll all come crashing down as soon as he or she watches it and recognizes you\'ve bassically ripped a whole episode :P.
My best example is some kid who is new on my bus route (yes I still ride the bus in highschool, it\'s a travesty :D) Anyways, this kid bassically came on the bus all good and happy (which is fine, the kid is cool. He\'s happy, and that\'s not something many people find) and brags that he\'s been doing yoga and working out. Immediately he spies some little 13 girl who wears a beenie trying to be intellictual, which is hilarious because from what I\'ve heard from her she is actually quite shallow. Bassically these 2 love birds start confessing they are so much smarter than everyone else because they\'ve been watching I love the 90s and have been listening to \"Rage against the Machine\" lately. The guy starts saying also that he\'s been reading the Ann Rice books, \"The Vampire Chronicles\".
It was hard to keep a straight face honestly, and not that I think I\'m any better because I know I\'ve tried acting intelligent and we all to a point. Well anyways a long story short it was funny to see these kids act all high and mighty above other people because they\'ve watched a bit too much VH1 and love feeling misunderstood. Youth is a funny thing. :]
-
I know its pathetic man. I listend to Rage against the machine back in 5th grade and now people just started liking them cuz VH1 said so.
Another good example of this is my sister whos now 14. She\'s seen I love the 80\'s so manuy times she can talk exactly what the ppl are saying at the same time. And she went from some punk with nets and an AFI obsession to a Guns and Roses fan. And she killed the band for me. Every time I listen to a song I hear my sis in the back of my head. so GnR looks like a bunch of wussies now. I swear my sister could take slayer and make them look like little girls just by listening to them. We must sucide bomb VH1 and destroy this poisen thats infecting mindslaves of the media.

Nah, while some people do it more than others it\'s a good idea just to grin and bear it. Hopefully it\'s just a fad, and if it\'s here to stay it isn\'t that bad. It\'s better that kid\'s build on history than to anyone to be assholes and destroy what they are doing. Makes humourous stories to tell when your drunk anyway. :D
-
i still ride the bus too...
ive seen all those 80\'s and 90\'s shows on VH1, i just thought it was something different to watch, i dont try to be all 80\'s and stuff im still very much stuck in the 90\'s, havent been able to go forward or backwards very much :\\
-
Im more of a late-middle 70\'s kinda guy myself :)
Goin to rush concerts an getting so bozzed up you couldnt stand strait, thats the life for me :)
-
oh wow that was a good post.
for me i was born in 1987 but the 80\'s crawled through into the 90\'s pretty heavily (cause 90\'s wernt that cool)
ahh ninja turtles where the coolest and bright colours and bad hair cuts. i still see many people here with mullets (they wear them as a joke of coarse)
alot of the 70\'s and 80\'s fashon was reborn here as well from the year 2000 onwards.
i remember slip and slides and the little metal clips on the end that rip your chest open, and all the bindie eyes in the grass.
the spots and swirls design wernt mentioned :P
well good thread (it takes me back when i was 3 and into the early 90\'s)
-
Now how many times did you see people (including yourself!) attempting the famous \'Crane Kick\'...?
Limps back to his desk after pulling hamstring......
And as for Mysterious Cities of Gold, quite possibly one of the greatest kids cartoons of all time!
:)
-
damn that\'s freaky, i can relate to alot on this list, and i\'m from \'83.
it is funny though, if you come to think bout it, and why aint airwolf on the list, that was my al time favorite tv show back then.
-
And where\'s Street-Hawk? Manimal?
It\'s with a tear in my eye that I realise that there will never be TV programming like this again! Ok, so maybe the actual \'quality\' of these shows was not the greatest but, and here it is...They Entertained me as a kid, and still do on into my adulthood.
Now I feel like I\'m inundated by \'What if.....\' type programming, which although it may be informative makes you wonder whether TV will actually revert back to the purpose it was created for....entertainment.
-
You know if youre an 80\'s kid if.....
you remember gummy bears, and looking back you think WTF!??

bang on the original year for me! I got to grow up with all the 80\'s T.V and am blessed by not being able to remeber the very early stuff...I like the fact that most of our T.v at that time has been turned into cult T.V
Dangermouse is an inspiration to us all :):D

The 80\'s were cool, and from what i\'ve heard, so were the 70\'s. What the hell happened to us? The fashions of today would get you beat up in school in the 80\'s, now its hip? Khakis and plaid shirts? Civics and Metros with spoilers plaguing the high school parking lots? Say it aint so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Warning.....
Bad fashion coming.....
How anyone that lived in the 80\'s and through the 90\'s will know 80\'s had some real bad ideas about fashion....
But yeah the things of todays trends are suspiciously lead by ideas from different era\'s.
Oh well, its bound to happen at some point :D
