Five more things:

2). My Little Pony



3). Punky Brewster

I don't remember much from the 80's, so my list consists of movies, shows, and toys.

1. E.T. - My favorite movie of all time.
2. Huga Bunch- I still have mine and I used to rent the movie all the time.
3. Care Bears- I don't remember the show, but I had several stuffed animals.
4. Ducktales- probably the best kid's show ever!
5. Back To The Future- Need I say more?

[DDMAN26]

Here's the first cool thing about the 80's

Flock of Seagulls I Ran

"I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
You're slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
I'm floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away."

[DDMAN26]

Let me also add:

Back to the Future- parts one and two are bonafide classics

Miami Vice-Was there a better duo than Crockett and Tubbs?

The G.I. Joe cartoon-And knowing was half the battle

He-Man the best toy line imho

2099Net Wrote

5: Micheal Jackson's Thriller
All hype, but hype with substance. While others where playing with making mini-movies to promote their music, Micheal actually did make a mini-movie. It was so ingrained in our collective conciousness it is still played, spoofed and parodied today (And was probably responsible for all the werewolf movies later in the 80s).

I agree with you there 2099net Thriller music video was a great mini-movie. The first time I saw it I enjoyed the music video. I'm a big Micheal Jackson fan. So, maybe that's why I enjoyed all his music videos.
