*Drtooth* · 01-30-2009, 05:50 PM

Can I just pop in and say that I don't see how teenagers pretending to care about 1980's cartoons is any different than kids who were teens in the 90's and dressed like they were from the 1970's?

Plus, Inspector Gadget rules. They BETTER had get that new show to air over here.

That was a fashion trend.

All of my memorable experiences of things from the 80's come from the early 90's.

I was musing to myself how many threads we continsully have on this specific subject. Can't anyone use a bloody search function and just bump one of the dosen or so "favourate 1980s show" threads?

Or, perhaps more refreshingly, broaden their minds to something concurrent.

Very good GK, but how about animated movies from that time?

~~Leo656~~ · 01-31-2009, 02:06 PM

The usuals, of course...

He-Man and She-Ra
Ghostbusters and The Real Ghostbusters
Thundercats
Voltron
Hulk Hogan's Rock N Wrestling (what a lousy show)

And of course, TMNT

There were a bunch more shows that I watched, pretty much every animated show there was, but those are the big ones. Animated movies from the 80s, huh... well, I didn't get to see many back then, but I do remember seeing Oliver and Company in the theatre when it first came out. Any animated flicks I saw back then were mosly re-issued Disney flicks that had been out before, so I don't really count 'em.

I also remember staying up late one time when I was 5 to watch Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer. And you're all going to shut up about it.

Why in the hell hasn't anybody brought up The Super Mario Bros: Super Show? Jesus.

There really isn't a set rule on when people start to remember things. Depends on your brain chemistry. I was born in 84, but I remember everything past '86. I remember when my cousin brought in his NES at the very end of '86 and we played Rad Racer. I didn't understand it, but it was fun to watch the red car bounce across the screen upon collision. I referred to Mario as "The Fat Man". I could recognizably play Time After Time and Beat It on my toy piano by age 3. I remember watching David Letterman and Johnny Carson with Mom, and I remember when the Ninja Turtles premiered in the mini-series/season 1. I remember pretty much everything from the second half of 86' onward. While I may not have been able to give you exact information/names/dates at that age, later life experiences filled in the gaps in my memory making for a mostly complete experience.

Like I said--depends on the person.

**GK Punk** · 02-01-2009, 04:14 AM

I thought the Super Show was from 1990, but I looked it up... It's 1989. So I'll count that.
As for the Animated Films question, I'm still thinking about the answer.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-01-2009, 05:16 AM

Captain Lou Albano FTW. That show made my childhood. Everything from 1987-1994 was godly.

**GK Punk** · 02-01-2009, 05:36 AM

I'll have to disagree there, Most of the filmation stuff I liked, a long with GI Joe, Transformers and Jem are from before 1987. Of course, I'm and old man so meh.

Are you serious? 3? Is that in dog years? Really, I never heard of a toddler getting a crush on anything. It just doesn't happen.

Now then, for my list...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Beetlejuice
My Pet Monster
ThunderCats
Jem and the Holograms
Astro Boy
He-Man
She-Ra
Super Mario Brothers Super Show
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Ghostbusters
Muppet Show
Ewoks

This is all that comes to mind for now, as I'm too drowzy to think any more clearly.

I'll do movies later..

But then again, it also does tie in with fashion. I mean, walk into a Hot Topic, you'll see so many Teenagers looking at Transformers and Turtles t-shirts. I don't see how that's any different from kids wearing School House Rock or the overpriced Fubu Fat Albert shirts in the 90's. Even that whole era of teenage girls wearing Looney Tunes T-shirts (and they clearly weren't fans) seems to borrow from the Nostalgia fashion trends.

*Hannah* · 02-01-2009, 11:34 AM

Super Show was terrible! Come on!

The difference being they weren't pretending they were into the 70's, or else wearing it for nostalgic reasons. I'm not going to go into the difference between "ironic" t-shirts and actual fashion trends, but the difference is there.
