Ah, the 80's. Do I really need to say more? Over the weekend I was going through some old photos and got a bit nostalgic so, here we are. I thought I'd do a little Memory Lane series for all you late 70's - early 80's babies.
Punky Brewster - It's funny how this mismatched multicolored look has come back.
Solid Gold - Had you asked me when I was little what I wanted to be when I grew up, my first choice would have been a Solid Gold dancer. Runner up was a dolphin trainer.
The Love Boat - Sadly the only thing I remember from this show is the theme song. The loooooooove boooooat...
Knight Rider - I LOVED this show when I was little. Before Hasselhoff got all drunk and started getting taped by his daughter eating cheeseburgers and ranting like a lunatic.
JEM (And the Holograms) - Another show I totally loved. I think I even had a cassette tape with their music.
Gumby - Yes, I still watch this as well. There was an R-rated gumby spoof on YouTube a while ago that was hysterical but it's a little too R-rated for me to post here. (Bad language voice-over)
Fame - Another show that made me want to dance by butt off. And the remake that they did last year is pretty amazing too!
The Jetsons - I actually found out this debuted in the 1960's! Who knew? I wonder if they have this on DVD... Hmmm...
Hope you enjoyed the little trip down memory lane!
Up next - Memory Lane: 1980's Fads
Like "The Jetsons" (which *is* available on DVD), "Scooby-Doo" pre-dates the 80s. Fun fact/slightly embarrassing confession: I was totally smitten with Sandy Duncan as a kid, in part from her animated appearances as herself on "Scooby-Doo." I think that infatuation explains why I'm so drawn to Samantha Brown today.
