I loved that show!! I watched it everyday when I got home from kindergarden but that was in the early 90s.. like 92 so it must have been repeats.

I use to watch that show "all" the time.
That was a cool show! Going off topic here and I do apologize, but the show
wasn't the same when most of the original
cast had left.

QOUTE:If you remember pop balls! (they rocked)

oh, goody! pop balls, I still have four of those in my room. :D

Oops! lol I found a list of toys from the 80's and I just cut and pasted it. I guess I just missed the fact that Barbie was on it.


D
:cheers:

I cannot believe I missed the '80s topic. Well now I'm just going to have to bump it back to the top, ain't I?

What the heck are pop balls? I musta missed out on that little bit o' culture.

Oh and my mom never forbade me from listening to Madonna. My mom loves Madonna. In fact if I ever get the chance to see Madonna in concert I am going to ask my mom to go with me.

I remember ALF cards. I loved ALF, and I loved those cards soooo much. I looked at them like every day. And then I lost them. I looked for them everywhere. Sometimes I went looking for them even years later, and I never found them. :crying:

I am going to add:
You are a child of the '80s if you remember any of these books:
The Indian in the Cupboard (and it's sequels)
Bunnicula, Howliday Inn, and the Celery Stalks at Midnight
Stuart Little (and the sequel(s?) )
I, Houdini
Ok well I can't think of any more books right now. I'll have to check out my bookcase next time I go home

Lastly, (for now, since I love this topic and love reminiscing)....for those of you who also love to reminisce, you simply have to go to www.yesterdayland.com It is probably the single best 80s remembrance site I have ever come across, and they even go back as far as the 50s and have 90s stuff too. They have message boards there, and info about all your fav. childhood things, from music to fashion to TV to you name it they probably got it. I think I just might have to join the message board over there....reminiscing is just so much fun. Go go go, all of you! :lol:

Pop Balls are not what you are thinking (get your mind out of the gutter). ;) These were rubber balls that you turned inside out, laid them on the floor and watched them pop up. It could keep you entertained for hours :)

:lol: :lol: That one made me laugh because I was thinking that to myself.

I consider myself as growing up in the 80's (born in '77) but I guess I was too old for a couple of those things- like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. By the time they got popular, I found that craze annoying. It seemed like it was mostly for the younger kids. I remember the kids I baby-sat always wanted to play that and everytime they brought it up I thought to myself "Nooooo, not again!!" :rolleyes:

Anyways, this is one of my favorite topics. Most of my favorites from the 80's have already been mentioned. If I think of anymore I'll add them.

Ok, so I dig out my old Rubik's Cube and bring it up to the apartment because all my roommates love logic puzzles and stuff so I thought they'd get a kick out of the ol's Rubik's Cube.

Now mind you, I never, ever took the stickers off my Rubik's Cube....I just simply never solved it and lived with that fact...no need to go tearing off stickers and junking it up.

So my roommate takes the cube and fiddles with it for an hour or so downstairs, where we are all watching TV. Takes it up to his room, locks himself in there, brings it down like half an hour later solved. Now I know damn well what that cube looked like before he got his cheating paws on it, and all those stickers were in perfect shape and fixed tight to the cube. After he emerges from his locked room, all the stickers are curling at the edges and one of them is nearly ripped in half.

Few things are sadder than a 22 year old man who cheats to solve a Rubik's Cube, rather that just admitting his defeat to the cube.

Only thing sadder is he still denies to this day that he cheated to solve it. :rolleyes:

Here are some more:

If the toys you grew up playing with, you now see in museums.

If you learned from MacGyver that with a pocketknife, a roll of duct tape, and a gum wrapper you can get out of almost anything. :)

If you remember Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street :crying:

If you ever had a pogo ball or pogo stick.

did any one say teddy ruxpin? did any one say pippy-long-stalking(sp?).

i know only the people that lived in the 80's will know this one troup beverly hills (movie).

If you remember Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street :crying:



Aw, gee, Mr. "Looper"... :crying:

I was born in 86 so most of my childhood was in the 90s but I played with a lot of these toys and watched a lot of those shows that are mentioned and read those books mentioned too like Indian in the cupboard and all the Ramona books... I guess my parents never bought 90s toys or books lol.

i know only the people that lived in the 80's will know this one troup beverly hills (movie).

did any one say punkey burster?

I loved Troop Beverly Hills. My sister and I watched it all the time and had all the lines memorized. We also had an episode of Punky Brewster on tape that we watched over and over and to this day I can still vividly remember what happened in that episode even though I haven't seen it in years. It's the one where Punky and friends get lost in the woods and find that spooky cave. :lol:

I thought of another book from the 80's: "Are you there God, It's me Margaret?" It seems almost every pre-teen girl at the time read that one.

I collected Surf figurines,loved Jem and The Holograms,Wall-papered my room with Duran Duran posters,wore virgin bracelets,and my first boyfriend had a mohawk!!!!

I usedto have smurf figurines. Hmm...I wonder what happend to them...:confused:

I even had Gargamel and Asriel!!!And if your wondering whatever happened to your Smurf figurines I'll tell ya: MOM!
You know you grew up in the 80s if.....you were wearing a Cyndi Lauper t-shirt when you got de-flowered!!!!!

.....you've gone to school(or a date...or even better:a school dance)dressed as Madonna or Cyndi Lauper. Yes folks,if you wanna see a slice of my life rent Romy and Michelles High School Reunion.
.....you worde lace gloves in the wintertime and fingerless lace gloves in the summertime.
......you wore fluorescent scarves and gloves in the winter time (mine were yellow and pink)
You wore flourescent gloves under fingerless black gloves.
...you EVER wore two different color high top sneakers at once.

...you remember in your lifetime at least one male friend saying to you "I wonder if Punky Brewster is going to be hot when she grows up."

...you've ever signed an important document with your last name as LeBon<Taylor,or Rhoads. You've ever told anyone your name is Rio.

......the first concert you went to was Menudo...and you went with your mom!!!!

i just thought of some more. you have had to have the disney channel to know what i am talkin about.
the names of the shows are Under The Umbrella Tree. and when they made Alice in wonderland in to a tv show. i think both were only on for like 3-4 seasons. do you remember them?

They were on in the early 90s!!!!

Great 80s emote of victory " I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!"(He Man)

Best Advice of the 80s:"Now you know....and knowing is half the battle"(G.I. Joe)

...you are aware that "Kids In America" and "parents Just Dont Understand" are re-makes of 80s hits (Kim Wilde and Will Smith)and not "New" songs from the Jimmy Neutron soundtrack!!!!

..The first "dirty" book you ever read was "Forever"...and you highlighted the good parts and passed it around to fellow female classmates(a biggie in Catholic school)

.....Every body can succeed in themself
You must believe,give it a try...
