My memories of the 80s

Funny how looking back, I can't remember more than 15 friends from primary school. Heck, I avoid large high school gatherings (early 90s) because when I look at the attendance list, they're mostly strangers to me. However, these are what I remember clearly about the 80s.

Sad eh? Yet still brings a smile to my face. Enjoy:

My all time favourite, Airwolf. Best theme song ever.


Macgyver. Bought the biggest baddest swiss army knife I never used because of this show.


A-Team. Introduced me to WWF (Wrestlemania 1, Mr T & Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper & Mr Wonderful), which led me on to BJJ. Funny where these rabbit trails led me.


Automan. See how tight that costume was.


V....I remember the pallet guns in primary 2. I actually bought the first series on VHS.


Knight Rider, how can you not like the Hoff?


Streethawk. Loved the theme, loved the bike, can't remember how the actor looked like. Shows how much attention I paid to the show.


Hardcastle and McCormick, loved the song. Sad to say the Coyote looks lame by today's standards.


Greatest American Hero, every geeks dream


Misfits of Science with a young Courtney Cox. A short lived favourite. "Heroes" of yesteryear, but with no overall storyline.


Blue Thunder, the superhelicopter show before Airwolf. Hey, thats Hightower!!


Couldn't find The Wizard, where the hero is a midget who creates toys and fights crime. He committed suicide during the show I think. Cool theme song too.

Lastly, Robin of Sherwood. Haunting theme. Sucked when Sean Connery's son replaced the original Robin Hood


Here's one I am shy to admit I watched. But I did :(


I'm posting with a wide grin on my face. I guess 80s cartoons are next...

Transformers. The movie too was the best ever. I mean how many people can quote from the current movie?


M.A.S.K


Thundercats, IMO the best theme song of the 80s cartoons.


He-Man.


She-Ra. Can't not mention her after He-Man. I cried in the first He-Man She-Ra teamup.


Voltron. Introduced by Optimus.... nice...


Galtar and the Golden Lance


Defenders of the Earth. At least they were cooler on TV than the lame comics in the papers.


Thundarr the Barbarian


Gobots, the Transformers lame rival. Watched it anyway


Centurions... Power Extreme!.... Shit... *puts down hands*


Silverhawks. Didn't watch as many as I would like. TKD. Damn you Lau San!!


Dungeons and Dragons. TKD again


Visionaries, probably only watched 2 episodes. TKD really took up my Sunday afternoons.


My cartoon watching era probably stopped with the Ninja Turtles. Started playing sports seriously after that.


These were the ones I loved. Please don't ask me why no Care bears or Monchhichis. Definitely no My Little Pony. Please, I was a cool kid. I did watch Smurfs and Shirt Tails though.







I could go into sitcoms, but I think thats enough for now.
