I didn\'t grow up in the 80\'s, but I still enjoy MacGuyver anyway.  :P
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

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.
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.
