Disney and The Muppet Show on Sunday nights. You always had to wait to see the second half of the Disney movie the next week. When Leo DiCaprio started on Growing Pains. Seeing all the Star Wars movies and ET in the theater. The Princess Bride (favourite movie although Labyrinth is up there too).
OMG-Rat Tails-I work with a family where the grandfather and the child both have them- brings back bad memories every time I seen them.
When guys permed the back of their hair.
In Canada- all the show on TVO- Polk-A-Dot Door etc, Dr. Snuggles, Today's Special. . .
When it was ok to only have 3 tv channels because you played outside most of the time anyway.0 -
New Kids on the Block (when they were new!) Still my favorite today!
I miss the Mickey Mouse Club from our youth. Today's is CGI and awful.
Oh how I miss being a kid in the 80's!0 -
