My childhood pretty much spanned the entire 80's and I have so many fond memories of the decade. Nothing will ever be like it, especially for kids. Our toys were robots that turned into guns, soldiers and absurdly-muscular heroes. By the 90's everything turned cartoony and neon-colored. We had Ninja Turtles and Transformers G1. They had Power Rangers and Transfomers Beast Wars. Though the superhero cartoons did rule the 90's.
I truly miss the 1980's and will be sharing my favorite parts of it with my very young daughters so they at least have a strong appreciation for it. I'm going to start showing Jem to my 3-year-old daughter!
I totally agree we had the best stuff back then.. I plan to do a series of posts on 80s pop culture, not sure if there are many people interested in this topic .. but what the hell.
Thanks for your comment ..
