The 80's was the greatest decade ever to me! EVERY song released onto radios became a HUGE hit, you could wear all sorts of wild, mismatching, loud, bright colors, and no one judged you because they were all wearing those colors too! A guy could have hair down to his butt and no one thought he was effiminate or gay! It was a fun decade! Everybody had fun, fun, fun! Why else would VH1 air 3 different series of The 80's? I Love The 80's, I love the 80's Strikes back,and I love the 80's 3d? And Kudos to them for airing "100 greatest songs of the 80's!:D (Look at the title topic. I am saying that I, Janice Johnson love the 80's. The title topic is not about the show, "I love the 80's".) I am so glad to have been born in the 80's!:D I am proud to be a literal child of the 80's!:D

The only thing I like about the 80s is the music.

the fashion and hair was exceptionally bad (and usually they went hand and hand, lol), but I love the music, and some of the television.

Classic MTV never gets old, I have several hours of the vintage stuff from traders (I have the first four hours from 1981, a random recording of several hours from 1982 and a few hours from late 1983) and despite being a quarter of a century old, it's better than anything you'll see on that network today.

Most 80s sitcoms and movies were great too. I'm trying to collect it all. I have no memory of the 80s, being born in January 1988. But i wish i did and my fiance makes me jealous, as he was able to live thru the 80s lol. Oh well, i'm just as content watching it on tv ;)

What I like abt the 80s was I diudn't have gray hair then!:lol:

Seriously though, there were many great things from the 80s & I do reflect fondly back on this decade.

being born in that decade, yeah, i agree there were some wonderful memories- the music, tv shows, fashion, even the cartoons. i wasn't into the whole new romantics thing though myself and the hair was often, well bad :lol: .

the 80s were a fun time, and safe too and being a child at that period, it was just innocent and people having a great time and enjoying themselves. nowadays and the 00s, its not the same- there is just war, fighting, people often taking themselves too seriously and the music, tv, films that are out are just not as good as they were in the 80s.

man, i miss the 80s, it was part of my childhood (sigh) :(

The one thing I liked about the 80s is that it brought the 60s back-Leave It To Beaver, Monkees and my favorite channel NICK AT NIGHT-television in glorious back and white.

I loved the shoulder pads! Really! The broad shoulders made the body look slimmer.:D

the fashion and hair was exceptionally bad (and usually they went hand and hand, lol),
I actually liked the fashion. Everything seemed fresh and clean.
Then along came grunge. Yuck!

THE '80s RULE!!! :dance: party: :bouncers :jig: We should have a breakdancing smiley!!

Even though I like many of the movies of the 80's, quite a bit of the music and some of the television shows...and I had a pretty happy chidhood in the 1980's...I've always been more interested in the 60's and 70's.

I was born in '81 and I remember all the cool toys and cartoons and TV shows from that era. I also remember playing outside with friends and having a grand old time. Good times, good times. :D

I do too i love the 80s too i like some of the movies and music and tv shows such as Growing Pains, Full House, Family Ties, Facts Of Life, Punky Brewster and a lot more.

The only things I liked about the 80s were:

Showbiz Pizza Place (this was Chuck E. Cheese with different characters on stage and better music, plus they had more games and bigger prizes)

Classic Nick at Nite (This is where I first saw shows like My Three Sons, The Donna Reed Show, Make Room for Daddy and The Monkees)

Some new shows (such as ALF, Perfect Strangers, Growing Pains, Full House and a few others)

As for things I don't like about that decade were the fashions (includes the awful hairdos), the music. That's right, I'm not a fan of 80s music. I like music from the late 50s, 60s, 70s and 90s.

Although there are times I miss being a kid, I'm glad the 1980s are over. And besides the couple things I mentioned, this is a decade I never want to look back at.

^ I remember picking up the Detroit TV station 20 (I'm in the Cleveland market) and they ran an ad for ShowTIME Pizza - their jingle was set to the same tune as the Chuck E. Cheese jingle. We still have a Chuck E. Cheese here; I pass by it every night on the way home from work, and I went to many a birthday party there as a kid. Those were the days!!!! :D

I loved the 80's too, the hair, the clothes, the music. That was a fun period in my life along with the late 70's. lol!

I had my fifth birthday party at Showbiz, where I got up on stage with Billy Bob (the mascot then) and had my picture taken with him. I was freaking out. Those robots really scared me. And at the same time, I was fascinated by them. I still remember nightmares I had about those robots. But that was part of the fun, being just a little scared of the robots. Especially Rolfe and Earle. They were the Chuck E. Cheese robot, but with a different costume on. Rolfe was awolf, and Earle his hand puppet. All the robots now are the same ones Showbiz had, but with different costumes on, making them different characters. Munch, the purple monster on keyboard was a Gorilla named Fatz. Pasqually, the chef on drums was Dook the dog. Helen, the hen on pom poms was Mitzi the mouse on pom poms. Jasper the dog was Beach Bear on guitar. I already mentioned Rolfe and Earle. The Billy Bob robot isn't around anymore, because they have one less character now than they did back then.

Our Showbiz switched over to Chuck E. Cheese around 1992 or 93.

^ I looked it up - it indeed was Showbiz Pizza, and all this time I thought it was Showtime Pizza. :lol: Whatever the name was, it sure was a lot of fun! Maybe I can talk my sister into having my nephew's next birthday party at our local Chuck E. Cheese. ;) :cool:

I loved the 80's !!!!, I remember everything like it was yesterday.

Rubik's Cube,Teddy Ruxpin and other toys. Great music too!
Bon Jovi,Def Leppard,Joan Jett,Poison,OMD,Oingo Boingo,among others.

The best teen movies!!! The Breakfast Club,St.Elmo's Fire,Sixteen Candles,
Adventures in Babysitting,License To Drive and more!!!

All the great TV shows!!! ALF,The Facts Of Life,Diff'rent Strokes,
Who's the Boss,The Wonder Years,Growing Pains and so on...

Ah!!!,The best years of my life!!!,So glad my childhood took place
in the 1980's it was such a fun time. I wish I could go back and
see my older cousins and their friends again as the 80's teens with
the big hairdos and the clothes they wore!!!,They all copied the
same looks from all those teen movies and TV shows!!!!!

I didnt live in the 80's but it seems like an amazing time, half of my favorie movies, music and tv shows came out of the 80's. I sadly missed being born in the 80s by 5 months. but the 90s were fun for me, still had good cartoons and some good teen movies were still made but the 80's started it all it seems.

I'm more of a 70's gal when it comes to music and fashion, but I do adore the 80's since I experienced my childhood during that era (I was born in '82). I love the toys and movies from the 80's! :D

It was an innocent yet fun time to be a kid...I miss it :(

The 1980's were great. :D I was born in 1978 so I remember the 1980's. :) And of course the best tv show ever came from that decade (Family Ties).
