12

Please. For the love of Debra Messing, help me get this song out of my head. It also sort of reminds me of the episode of Friends where Monica helps Chandler figure out the seven points of pleasure on a woman's body.

More, More Commodore!

Can't...stop...posting...terrible...Commodore...computer...commercials....

Isn't 'Commodore' Just Another Word For 'Captain'?

Captain James T. Freakin' KIRK, that is.

The Amiga

I had one of these, too. A gift from a wealthy uncle one Christmas. I never got to hang out with The Pointer Sisters, though.

2XL

God, I loved my 2XL. Until he ran away to Florida with Gina Scott when I was in first grade.

I loved her, too.

All You Can Eat

Ah, The Fat Boys. Of all the bands from the 80's, I really thought The Fat Boys would've battled U2 for longevity.

It's Your Move

I LOVED this show for the brief time it was on.

Although other people *cough* Robin *cough* may disagree, this was the highlight of Jason Bateman's acting career.

And yes, I've seen "Arrested Development".

A-Team

I ain't gettin' on no plane, Hannibal!

We Totally ARE The World!

Special Christmas Box

So, yeah, I understand that it's only April, but I'd be remiss if I didn't include this video here at some point.

Plus, for some reason, it's been in my damn head all day.

Easy Reader

And to answer your question: Yes, that is Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman.

Yuck Mouth

THIS PSA was always my favorite. Absolutely ridiculous, yet informative.

The quality is terrible, but if you saw this as a kid, it won't matter.

On A Similar Note...

Hanker



Nothing like seeing this on Saturday morning or after school. (Right around the Choppers PSA - and before the 'One to Grow On' PSA's started..) I remember Michael J Fox doing one - I'd love to see that one again..

Hanker 2



25 years later.. if you don't remember the 80s for whatever reason, most of the premise jokes on Family Guy don't make any sense..

Original Growing Pains Theme - 60 Seconds



Originally sung by BJ Thomas and Jennifer Warnes - the theme song for most of the TV series was later re-recorded by Dusty Springfield. B.P. and I both know all of the words to this song.

Growing Pains Theme '90-'91 - Cut to 30 Seconds

"Secret of the Sword" Opening Theme Song

The acting is brilliant, the animation perfectly tuned to fantasy, and the evil ever present and not as cartoonish as one might expect. This cartoon whether some will admit it or not was a shining beacon and a glorious presence for any kid in 1980's. Watch it without prejudice and discover wonder, majic, and heroism like you have never seen. -IMDB User Review

Caution: This may contain a heart-stoppingly cheesy theme song. You have been warned.

One To Grow On

The ultimate in bad PSA's.

Muppet Wiki

Truly Outrageous

I couldn't NOT watch this show in the 80's. Also, I was in high school.

B.P.'s WI High School Hair Wet Dream



That is until Cinderella came out and he started cutting the sleeves off his t-shirts and bought a curling iron..

The Runaway Hit That Started the Series

Please post links to any sequels in comments.

Break Dance Baby



Break dancing on Romper Room in the early 80s just before it went off the air.

Hurra Torpedo



Of course one of my all-time favorite Norwegian bands - I saw them play - I've never been more mooned by a band or anyone in my life.
