      I was 15 in 1982 . . . It was a great year for anyone that was fortunate enough to be there in 1982 . . . being a teenager in 1982 was the best . . . I was a sophomore in high school and was having the time of my life . . . And yes I watched cartoons back then . . Hell I watch cartoons nowadays to . . . In some way or another people never give up certain things that they did when they were younger . . . I know plenty of older people that still watch cartoons just like people still love to watch old movies . . . Everybody wants to hold on to something from there younger days . . . I was 6 in 1973 watching cartoons and in 2023 I still watch cartoons . . And if I live to see 2053 . . I would still watch cartoons . . Hahaha 😂😂😂 .

    What do I miss about the 80's?
    Saturday Morning Cartoons.
    Sitting 3 feet from the ol' vacuum tube, being irradiated with technicolor goodness while I did everything I could to raise my blood sugar to pure syrup levels with bowl after bowl of sugar encrusted wheat byproduct chunks, mechanically extruded into colorful, funky shapes, and then tearing around outside the rest of the morning, pretending to be whatever hero was my cartoon fav at the time, only to crash out just in time for Dad to get up, and start assigning chores.

I also miss McDonaldland character commercials, wholesome sitcoms, playing on the Atari and NES, cereal character commercials (Capn Crunch, the Trix Rabbit), great music, Lite Brite, cassettes, clamshell Disney VHS boxes (even with all the room they took up). Just so much nostalgia.

      @Digby Dooright In certain ways (fashion), I guess. But every decade has its sucky parts. Musically, its was way more experimental than people give the 80's credit for. For me, that decade was very formative even if I did become a metalhead for most of it (and still am). Eventually, I got curious about the influences those musicians listened to, and whole new world of musical genres opened up. In all eras too.

    Someone once said "Its okay to visit the past, just dont bring any luggage" at 55 years old I certainly enjoy looking back at the times I lived through, but not enough to make me want to go back and do it again. In 1982 I was a senior in high school and my oldest daughter was born. The following April I got married. My wife and I celebrated our 37th anniversary this year. Needless to say I had to grow up a lot faster than most.
    I have been blessed to live through several decades with good memories attached to them all. I think thats what makes most people yearn for the past, they only remember the good things that happened. They forget the trials they endured along the way. Its probably just as well. The only thing I miss is I was healthier when I was younger. I am still healthy now but I certainly couldnt do the things today that I did in 1982.
    Some say we are living in bad times today. I guess thats a matter of perspective because people said the same thing in 1982 and in just about every point in history. In 20 years people will look back and remember how happy they were in 2020.

    Three iconic movies are missing from the 1982 Timeline: Rocky III which premiered on May 28, 1982 and brought to popularity Mr. T as Clubber Lang, an unknown Hulk Hogan as Thunderlips; a few years later, Hulkamania would be running wild, and the iconic theme song “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Later that year, Sylvester Stallone would be known for another movie franchise: the Rambo franchise by starring in First Blood, the first installment of the brand, which premiered on October 22, 1982. The movie Poltergeist premiered on June 4, 1982, giving us the legendary line from the movie where the little girl is sitting in front of the television with nothing but static on the screen and says “They’re here!”.

    The 80s, where the years that I cherish. The years that, to be honest, were the best of my life. Life hasn't been kind to me. Almost every decade was another struggle, another fight to keep things together, which ultimately was fruitless . Only the decade of the 80s brought me happiness and love. The whole decade was magical and was the beginning of many first experiences and memories that are seared into my mind and heart. I yearn for those magical days when I was happy. It's been so long since I've been happy I've forgotten what it's like. Whenever I look back on the 80s to try and relieve some of those precious happy times, my mind recoils almost reflexively as if the remembering was a trigger for massive mental anguish and pain from just the thought. Humble the years makes one fear what's next. Im afraid we are too soon old and too late smart . Hold while you can those you love closest to your heart .

He's probably a more well known name in the south than Randy was. I'm a guitar player and I loved Randy but football is ridiculously huge in the US, especially in the south. I can almost guarantee most Americans can name members of sports teams than they can name members of a band, no matter how great they are. Sad.

      I agree. Well... maybe not the cars. Most of the cars in the 80s were BORING boxes. I think the best decade for cars was the 1960s. BUT - in the 1980s, you could still get a 1967 Mustang or any other classic 60s car for relatively cheap if you wanted some style for your buck! Not the greatest gas mileage in the world. But in the mid-80s gas was CHEAP. I remember it being well below a dollar a gallon in Texas! The cheapest I ever saw it was $0.67/Gallon in Austin sometime between 1985 and 1987.
      On the other hand - one stylish car I remember that was 100% 80s - because it didn't last past 1989 - was the Pontiac Fiero. (In fact, Pontiac was probably the LEAST boring car manufacturer of the time) The Fiero was a great concept. Too bad the first couple of years of that model had some problems. They got it mostly fixed by 1988 but by then nobody wanted to try it. It's too bad - the last year model of the Fiero was actually a really good little car! My best friend had one and drove it for 15 years or so until it finally gave up and died. He let me drive it a few times and it was a really fun ride!
