I seen a rerun of the a team and it had Ray Mancini and Ken Norton. Show was bad but when it was originally on it didn't seem that bad.

What were your favorite TV shows, music, movies etc

Well, from the later half of the 80's I remembers being introduced to British Comedy. I loved "The Young Ones". Couldn't get enough of them.....actually have 9 episodes on VHS somewhere. Also, Monte Python's Flying Circus....and the movies followed soon after, even though I was more than ten years behind.

...just remembered Dr. Who, man I loved that show. Dukes of Hazzard, Quantam Leap, can't remember if Battle Star Galactica was in the 70's or the 80's. Threes Company, that show with Michael J. Fox as Alex Keaton.

Music: Loved Huey Lewis and the News early on. Then I discovered Joe Walsh....and my life changed. Next thing you know I was listening to Clapton, Hendrix, Zeplin, the Who, Cream, James Gang,... (yeah, I know; but I heard him in the 80's). Alright 80's music...hmmmm. Don't tell anyone; but I did like Bon Jovi for a minute....and Whitesnake, Poison, Europe, Whoodini, Run DMC, L.L. Cool J, Cameo, Prince and the Revolution, NPG, Morris Day and the Time.

Movies: E.T....first movie I ever saw in a theater, Return of the Jedi, Rocky IV, until I saw the first 2, Rocky III also. Let's see....oh yeah, all the Indiana Jones movies, Romancing the Stone, 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon, The Last Dragon, Big Trouble in Little China, Running Scared with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal, Terminator, Rambo, Missing in Action, and more I'm sure I can't remember.


.....sorry, college came soon after the 80's and I've lost a few brain cells.

Huh. Guess nobody hangs out here anymore.

That's kinda sad. I always enjoyed this forum.
