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.

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.
