1980s TV - GoFuckYourself.com

Rochard · 10-08-2010, 03:00 PM

I watch DVDs while I work, mostly for background noise. Last week I bought season 2 of Magnum PI, once of my favorite TV shows from when I was a kid. On the first disk was bonus episodes of The A Team and Knight Rider. So I've watched them all.

Man, 1980s TV really sucked donkey balls. I mean, it's seriously horrible!

Sarah_Jayne · 10-08-2010, 03:42 PM

Well, that sort of tv sucked. We just didn't have much choice so didn't notice. There was good drama too but we were kids and so didn't really watch that stuff.

TeenCat · 10-08-2010, 03:49 PM

i love the 80s, and you mentioned one of the best series from then!

Jim_Gunn · 10-08-2010, 04:02 PM

Why listen to old tv that you have probably already seen twenty-five years ago when you are probably mostly listening and barely watching it anyway? I personally like to listen to radio or tv shows over the internet while I work online. Usually Howard Stern or ESPN.com for MMA Live or maybe some adult industry or technology podcasts.

Rosanne wasn't that bad.

For the last few months I've been DVR'ing the A-Team.

It's interesting to see the way the show changed from the 1st season to the last. Something I never realized as a kid.

Mr.T was the shit when I was a kid.

But ya totally corny 80's TV all the way, lol

And in the 80's we said "Boy TV in the 50's and 60's sucked"

and in 2035 they will say "Boy TV in 2010 sucked"

If you watch Miami Vice now it seems really cheesy but when it was in prime time it was the best

First episode was on Oct 18, 1988 and only 36 of the 221 episodes showed in the 1980's. So the VAST majority of the show was in the 90's

Sarah_Jayne · 10-08-2010, 04:55 PM

Yup but it was still a good show right up until the point where they won the lottery. Then, it sucked.

CaptainHowdy · 10-08-2010, 04:57 PM

The movies, the series, the music, the everything!

Sarah_Jayne · 10-08-2010, 05:03 PM

Oh leave the music alone! lol

I was and am a huge Miami Vice fan - to the point where post on a MV forum. I loved everything the show back then - fast cars, hot women, fast boats, action, and and music. I missed the last few years of it because I was in the Marines, so when it came out on DVD it was thrilled.

d-null · 10-08-2010, 05:23 PM

nothing more needs to be said about 80's television than this:

Vendzilla · 10-08-2010, 05:59 PM

I'm surprised you remember the 80's

Loch · 10-08-2010, 06:03 PM

I still find the A team amusing

A long time ago there used to be a surf shop near the Sebastian Inlet here in Florida. It was a small shop and the guy who owned and ran it was a super nice guy. He didn't surf but was one of those guys that just had a natural ability to sell things. He was one of the first in Florida to offer Lightning Bolt Surfboards that were made famous by Jerry Lopez in the 70s.

He had the only shop in that area and I'd always stop and talk to him and get a bar of wax. He was always encouraging me with my surf photography and being the entrepreneur that he is he even started a surf magazine called SURF if I remember right.

So one day I'm going surfing and stop by his shop and there is a new owner. I asked the new guy what happened and he said the guy sold him the shop and was moving to Miami to write some TV cop show. The guy's name was Mike Mann.

So a few years later Miami Vice comes on TV and I see in the credits Michael Mann and I've always thought it was the same guy but have never confirmed it.

GregE · 10-08-2010, 08:33 PM

Crime Story another Michael Mann show and it was pretty good too.

Hardly anybody watched it though and even fewer remember it.

candyflip · 10-08-2010, 09:42 PM

It was good for the times, but only in rare cases do they hold up. Especially when it comes to 80s television.

You should get yourself a Hulu Plus account for $10. There's a TON of old 80s TV on there.

Not him. He moved to London to go to college in the 1960s, never having been to Florida. Then to LA where he went directly into making movies.

Cheesy joke to wrap up the ep, chuckles all round, freeze frame, exec producer credit. Woo!

a couple of weeks ago, I bought 4 seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies, from a discount bin for 5 bucks. It was funny to watch all that old shit again

SGS · 10-09-2010, 02:33 AM

I remember The Beverly Hillbillies from the 60's....

Sarah_Jayne · 10-09-2010, 03:37 AM

I had an Alf doll. I am pretty sure it is still at my Nana's house.

I have watched a few drama series from the 80's that I was too young to appreciate at the time and found them to still hold up if I take them as period dramas. Hill Street Blues, for example, was just excellent.

Ok sorry.

CarlosTheGaucho · 10-09-2010, 04:07 AM

Knight Rider was a cult in communistic Czechoslovakia.

I used to go to watch it to my friend's place when I was a little kid, they caught Austrian TV so we could watch western music and series.

Didn't understand much German way back then, but I sure loved the Car.
