Cool! That was a great era indeed for pop culture! Long live Diff'rent Strokes and QUIET RIOT!

The 80's were awesome!! I love the music, and sitcoms and everything else, well probably not the clothes. Though I prefer the early 80's style than the later years. The Police were awesome, that's one of my favorite songs. I also like Christopher Cross and Hall and Oates (they were cool back then) and the list goes on and on. But John Lennon, didn't he die in 1980?

I thought that it was funny seeing Arnold in a Culture Club t-shirt during the opening credits for the 7th season.

If you think that's something the night I was born Phillip met Maggie which was January 21, 1984

Well I found this thing and thought i'd do the day the show premiered. November 3, 1978

The Dog Story (rabies) ep.
"Now, I want you to take these lollypops, and I won't take no for an answer." -Arnold

"You keep them Arnold."-Kimberly

"Okay!!!" -Arnold http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

The list that you got from that site neglected to mention another big toy seller that came out in 1978- the new and improved Steve Austin "Six Million Dollar Man" doll of which I had one.

I know, I loved the 70's, that was my decade.

They missed the Six Million Dollar Man,
and The Green Machine, I had the green machine.
