Okay, I've exhausted my 90's happy memories.  Now onto Reaganomics, synth pop, and other nostalgic sappiness.  Let the good times roll!

What, you mean it wasn't the '80 for a while?  I never noticed   :question:

I thought the cartoon was stupid, but the opening kicked @$$, as did the limo with the pool!

I always thought B.A. Baracus stood for bad@$$, am I wrong? Got to love a show that showed automatic weapons that seemed to always hit a cars tires perfectly, but other than that they couldn't hit a side of a barn  :question:

Time for a flashback!  Anyone remember this stuff?  I wasn't born during the time so... yeah.

'Mom and Pop' videos stores about the size of a postage stamp.

I remeber gong to an arcade, Fun n Games in Natick which is still there in the 80's.  The kids there were under age, had long hair and were smoking. It was packed. Games I played were like Jungle Hunt, Ten Yard Fight. Other game I liked and played probably there and elsewhere were Kangeroo, Crystal Castles Russ'n (?) Attack and of course Marble Madness!

I used to go to the R-Cade in Poway California back in about '82.  I was one of the long haired underage kids smoking, and slipping out back with a group of buddies to smoke something a little stronger  :teddyr:  Ahhhh...good times.  Arcades were THE place to hang out back then.

Thanks to her Oscar-winning performance in ON GOLDEN POND Katharine Hepburn became a pop star all over again.

Which naturally resulted in stuff like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ktaja0bk0Y

FUN FACT: The original ending had Hepburn and Nolte committing suicide together by walking arm in arm into the ocean. The preview audiences howled, so now there's a wacky car chase ending instead.

I'm officially starting the rumor right now that Hepburn and Nolte hooked up during production and had a secret love child.

I remember punk rock-and how I was so disillusioned with Reganomics,and every thing! It wasnt just the goverment that p**sed me off-EVERYTHING p**sed me off.-I was a PUNK. Im old now.  :bluesad: But back in the day-I was passionate about it. Out spoken.that was over 20 years ago. I was in my 20's then. Do the math. When you get that old your opinion only means anything if you have money or your a celebrity. And who listens to Jello anymore? Sigh.Our opinions aint cool no mo. Were old hat. Like the hippies.

Boy, this brought back memories when you posted this in that other thread. I haven't thought about it in years.

This stuff was DEE-LOO-SHUSH! The various flavors were not over poweringly strong - it actually tasted like lightly sweetened seltzer water with a few drops of fruit juice or other flavors.

All varieties were good, but the black cherry was by far my favorite.

I miss this stuff!

That might have been.. never heard of Dr. Brown's.. I know Jones soda and juices still has weird flavors, don't think I've seen celery.  Starbucks used to carry a cucumber soda.  Sounded kinda interesting.

Colecovision!   I had one a' those!  The game system with the first experimental cellphones for controllers (at least in design) and some of the very first titles somewhat faithful to the arcade versions with regards to graphics. 

Some of the games, like Cosminc Avenger also had the same music as the arcade game as well.  Seems so many years ago now though.....

Love it.  That was like, what, '83?

Prob'ly '83.  
That YouTube is an edit from the original release; I think they cut the original down for a 45 rpm release back in the day, presumably the source for that YouTube, which I'm sure tanked.  The 12 inch was clearer and more candid that the source were prank calls to CARVEL Ice Cream stores which were franchises with collective advertising of the ice cream cake "Cookie Puss"...  :bouncegiggle: :thumbup:  
It was kind of outlaw.   :teddyr:

I know Little River Band was from the '70s, but they sure got a lot of love in this great movie from the '80s:

The old Gorgon Video logo!  I remember it well.

I also remember them releasing that uber-sick Italian movie Beyond The Darkness aka Buried Alive that I'd only once or twice and then never again because it was perhaps the grossest thing I'd ever seen up to that point.

MONSTER TRUCKS!!! :cheers:

I'm sure a few people didn't think they'd be around in 2011 with a new cd on the way. :buggedout:  I didn't hear of em til Licensed to Ill came out.

We can thank the '80s for the birth of direct-to-video garbage, starting with:
