Don't forget about Alf and The Greatest American Hero.
No they are not the same. Night Court and Smurfs were my fave. MTV does not play videos and I don't even think they MAKE cartoons anymore. I actually got out of bed early to watch Scooby Doo before school. Don't forget the Snorks the Jetson's. HE MAN and You Can't do that on TV!
And weekend TV, BOO! Saturday mornings will never be like they used to....
what about
Peewee's playhouse
Saturday morning wwf
saved by the bell
GI joes
Yeah Sat. morning cartoons just aren't what they used to be...
It just seems that that generation was the last of its kind. I am starting to refer it to the "fresh air" generation, cause it seems it is the last of the generations where kids got out and played, and they didn't grow up too fast. Kids today are growing up entirely too fast and many kids have to be bribed to leave the house. Its ridiculous to see commercials aimed at kids telling them to get off their duff and get outside and play "an hour a day". When I was a kid my parents had to drag me back inside, but of course I didn't have the Internet, I didn't have video games, and I didn't have 1,000 channels of mind numbing TV to watch either. The good old days when kids where kids. Riding your bike was one of your favorite things to do... now it is texting your best friend. So yeah the 80s TV is not the only thing I miss.
i miss thunder cats, she rah, he man back then you really could just sit back and watch TV all day because you were scared you miss something but now i can do or do with out TV
Yeah...too much violence or bad language or subject matter nothing good for the kids to watch..Even the music was a lot better.
i sure do. back when television was entertaining.
by the way,
the reason there is only 1 girl smurf:
technical, there are no girl smurfs. as smurfs are asexual.
smurfette was sent by gargamel to the smurfs to spy on them, but their overwhelming goodness turned her into who she is today. (or, who she was in the 80's, anyway)
i do use "she" in the loosest possible way, since smurfette is also asexual.
Being born in 86 i missed alot of the fashion but i have 3yr pictures with huge hair. (thanks mother) i am assuming this was an 80's thing. Save by the bell was my fav show to watch and dont forget the Ninja turtles. I begged my dad to let me be sonic one halloween because i thought he was the shi........... Smurfs was a great cartoon for anyone out there who has ever shroomed.
I liked Inspector Gadget and Dennis the Menace....Were these back in the 80's?? I don't remember..lol
Wasn't there a Jackson 5 cartoon and a Beatles??? I miss Voltron, Supercade Fun, Step by Step, Kids Incorporated, Inspector Gadget, Dungeons and Dragons. About the fashion, don't miss it very much....
How could you forget "Growing Pains"? I had the biggest crush on Kirk Cameron.
Man....this is a great walk down memory lane!
The shows I really miss are: Punky Brewster, She Ra, The Gummi Bears, Thunder Cats, Moonlighting, Knotts Landing, Growing Pains, ALF. There are so many more that I miss as well. Smurfette was made by Gargomell and was sent to spy on the other smurfs. She had black hair and looked scragily. Then Smurfette was overcome by their kindness and Papa smurf turned her into a blonde and all the others fell in love with Smurfette! FIGURES!!!!!
What ever happened to great wholesome shows like this?
oh yeah what happen with that, they were nice shows without violence, what about count patula, with cory mathews, save by the bell, wow i miss that shows
I agree.
Don't forget:
The Cosby Show
Different World
Cagney & Lacey
Who's The Boss
Cheers
Spencer for Hire
Golden Girls
Family Matters
Moonlighting
Charles in Charge
My Sister Sam
Roseanne
