You Don’t Remember These TV Shows (Unless You’re Gen X)

[TMC]

There's this whole other category of 1980s TV shows, these little nuggets of nostalgia, that didn’t quite make it to the TV Hall of Fame. Shows that, if you bring them up today, you’ll get nothing but blank stares…unless the person you’re talking to grew up in the 80s.

I'm talking the shows made specifically for Gen X tweens and young teens…that absolutely no one older or younger would have ever known about, much less watched.

These are the shows that, unless you were parked in front of the TV every afternoon after school in the 80s or on Saturday mornings after cartoons, you’d swear never existed. But we remember. We were the kids sitting way too close to the TV, probably messing up our eyes, just so we wouldn’t miss a second of whatever weird, low-budget magic was on.

And today, my fellow Gen X warriors, we’re gonna resurrect them. So grab your Capri Sun, settle in, and let’s dive deep into the vault…past all the stuff that everyone remembers…and pull out the lost TV shows of the 80s that only we Gen X misfits can still picture in our heads.

Today's video is all about awesome 1980s primetime shows that you probably don't remember -- unless you were an 80s kid. Part two in a series.

PS…I know that Boomer parents and millennial siblings were around from time to time. And some of these shows, we actually watched because of our moms. But, we're just speaking in generalities here…and it's all in good fun.

There are a ton of TV shows that vanished from the nostalgia radar unless you were an 80s kid like me. I’m dragging some of these buried treasures back into the light and breaking down why they hit different if you were there…this is your ticket back to an 80s you didn’t know you forgot.

My name is Natalie, this is my So-Called Gen X Life, and here are more TV shows that you don't remember unless you are a Gen Xer.
