How neat it is to tread down memory lane. My husband and I were just talking this past weekend about the Police Academy movies and how funny they were. I too remember almost everything on that list! It is funny to think back...because when I was growing up, you wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of "bell bottom" jeans and now, that is the craze! We also wore the colored Converse high top tennis shoes and looking through some of the fashion magazines, I see that those are now back in style. We had so much fun back then. Our lives were so carefree!!

Boy, you know you are an old fart when you don't understand 90% of this list.

I have often wondered though about item 4. Wonder if I would look stylish. I can hear my wife's fry pan cutting air now.

Number 15 is right on target, that was the day to be at school. As for the new kids on the block, i always thought that they were crap, even as a little kid I disliked them a lot. I remember collecting the ninja turtle movie cards and then after that it was those x-men cards from Walmart. Oh yeah 1985 was my year.

You know what **** Chung is

You know where Frankie went to

You could watch a whole episode of G.I. Joe and think it was so cool. Then you remember that nobody was ever killed.

You know the name of the car in Knight Rider

You know the theme to the A-Team and you know who B.A. Barracks is.

You hated cabbage patch kids in favor of garbage pail kids,

You wore your shocks above the knee, why Because it was cool

You thought that a Delorian was cool.

This one is a little old, but with TBS they were always on in the 80’s

You know the ChiP’s theme and could tell if it was a new or old episode from the change in the bikes in the intro. Du. Dua. De Duh da

I graduated high school in 1990

I loved that song!
I was a teenager in the 80s, hung with the punk crowd, but I do remember everything listed!
Here in LA we have a new radio station callled Indi 103.1 and they are playing all the old real alternative, so good to hear Dead Kennedys on the radio again!!!!

I was born in 1981 and I remember about 90% of those! I loved Saved By The Bell. It is on TV at 7:00 am on TBS Superstation and I still watch it sometimes! Saturday morning cartoons were awesome back then. Now they just suck. Oh to be in the 80's again! LoL!
