Was Emmanuel like 28 here?

Is it bias or do the streets look a lot more cooler back in the day? Now it's just boring and generic. Really well made video, thanks!

It took me a moment to remember that Shotgun Red was from TNN (The Nashville Network)! My grandparents, who hailed from Kansas before moving to California, were big country music fans, so TNN was on quite often at their house. I want to say that's Monty Montana with Red; he was a fixture at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses for years. Speaking of: That was always the unofficial 'end' to the holidays, watching Bob Eubanks and Stephanie Edwards on KTLA Channel 5 on New Year's Day. Macy's Parade was the beginning and the Rose Parade was the end. Gosh, what a beautiful time that was. I was born in '73 so the 80s were halcyon days for me. I may have OD'd on your videos and gotten a little down but the memories are more sweet than bitter. <3

You Can't Do That On Television! Such an awesome show. Spent many an afternoon with Moose and Lisa and Alistair. Old Nickelodeon (and I remember when it didn't have commercials!) was the best. I became a Gerry Anderson fan as an adult so the Terrahawks episode gives me a giggle. And is Christmas horror a thing? I guess it is! I think a big part of the holidays were the commercials. Brands took a lot of care with their holiday offerings; I'm not sure that happens anymore, since we've gone away from 'the big three' networks.

Ah man, the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special. I have my own copy now, but back then I was a big fan and could NOT believe that they'd chosen to make a Christmas special. Then (IIRC) they had the He-Man and She-Ra float at the Macy's Parade. I got the Crystal Castle either in 1984 or 1985 for Christmas. What a great time to be a kid.

I had that same outfit as a kid from the clip of the kid screaming “Nintendo!”

I got another claim for the Gremlins music. I had to mute out that section.

My first daughter was 6 months old. The following year, her sister was one month old. I wish I could turn the clock back.

I got a German cabbage patch kid, my parents went on vacation and they weren't as popular there so they were able to get a could. I was 8 in 84 so it was awesome. I remember am of this

It's nice to remember the before times. Good luck everyone

This is my favorite Lego set I loved building it

Senior in high school

I was 7 in 1985. Santa Claus the movie was and still is my favorite.

It's good to remember the before times. Soon the downward spiral will be all anyone knows. Good luck

So many good movies and cartoons from the 1980s are so memorable. I do miss that generation even better than today’s. Great upload. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 and Merry Christmas. 🎁🎄 🎅🥳

Thanks for this. It’s like a warm blanket reminding me of simpler times.

💜🩵💙🩷☺️

I remember that Christmas. I was 13 and received a new Walkman for Christmas and a bunch of cassette tapes including Princes’ Purple Rain, which was my favorite.

I found the PTL Club Christmas of 1986 show. It's interesting watching that knowing that's the last good Christmas Jim and Tammy Fae would ever have.

Yup just turned 48 in sep, so hits home. Back then grandparents and father still here , no one was divorced. The back end of the year was my favorite- it started with halloween and the plastic costumes with the razor inspired masks then turkey day when you'd make the paper turkey at school with the construction paper after tracing tour hand. Then xmas with every movement in the sky was"santa" and the gen with best toys Star Wars , gi joe, atari etc. and most of all we all played outside and socialized

Christmas 1987 was one of my favs of all time

The best of times

31:36 Mrs. Murtaugh?

I remember my teacher having a yeam trivia game, and asking what NASA stood for. Keep in mind, there were plenty of "bad" jokes going around about the Challenger at that point. Some kid shot his hand up and said, "Need Another Seven Astronauts!" The game pretty well ended at that point.

the 80s were a magical time to be a kid/teen

Nothing like a 1980s Christmas ❤

Gorilla and Heenan they are the GOAT when it comes to wrestling commentary

I was 13 and I got the Nintendo Entertainment System . ❤

Was born in 85 but wish i was born in 75 so i could have enjoyed the 80s more. The best decade imo

I was 11 in 85 great times

We had he-man and she-ra Christmas on tape with Muppets christmas ..Charlie brown christmas.. nkotb...chip n dale christmas.. huey duey n luey vs Donald in a sledding war..and the Santa Claus...😊❤❤❤

Best time in my life, Christmas from '78-'84. So funny they showed Press Your Luck. Big money and no whammies! I'd forgotten about Body Language though!

I was 10 in 1986 good times, coming out of foster care to live with my Dad here in Kentucky.

A time so wonderful that it feels like we're in a different realm now 🤔

Also all the Christmas gameshows and their decorated sets! :D

I had just turned 13 and got a sweater...and my 1st Walkman!!! We were poor so I was ecstatic to get it. My brothers got great toys and we played together anyway. Took turns with my Walkman and I became a runner. I still run today

I love all of the home improvement holiday shows. It’d be cool to have all the Christmas, and all the Halloween episodes together on 1 dvd.

Damn I was 0 in December 1985…

I was only 2 and had a little baby brother, but this is nostalgic for sure. 227 is the first TV show I have memories of watching. It was nice seeing a clip from that show. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus has always been my favorite Rankin-Bass special (yes, including above Rudolph). I also thought Santa Claus the Movie was showing the real workshop when I was little. The beginning of that movie, showing how Santa came to be, I absolutely love.

This was fantastic! I recall some of these clips & discovered new ones. The 80s were magical. Thanks 4 the trip down memory lane! 🌟🎄

Very very good memories of lot of good memories of that on TV and that in 1984 lot of good movies came out in 1984 a lot of good sports to even especially the Christmas specials were good too on TV

I was 13 years old! Got my first pro model skateboard built up. Also into Kyosho and Tamiya RC kits. Punk rock, girls and slasher movies too. Simple and best times ever.

I was born In July 1984. I was five month old when this came out. It's crazy that a lot of 80's footage has been popping up in my feed.

Ah the memories. I remember so many of these shows and things, Prancer was one of my fave movies and that Simpsons episode still gives me joy to watch. I remember getting a little My Little Pony in my stocking that Christmas and I still have that little pony sitting on my bookshelf in my livingroom.❤

I loved a Christmas carol with George C Scott still watch it every Christmas on KZbin

I wish I could build a time machine and go back to the 80s

I was about 4 months old in December of 1985

OK guys need help with the name of a particular toy and I’m just going to give a fake description of it so maybe you guys can remember The toy was a spaceship or future horrific earth ship or spaceship that you could buy with a gun handle underneath it and I think it came with an external sensor to plug into the television set while you were watching a video that came along with it and you could shoot toward the screen at the sensor and it would replicate hitting targets on your television screen What was the name of this toy and what show or cartoon was it promoting? The gun handle trigger was attached to the bottom of the ship, and I believe if you got hit your ship would react by ejecting the figure inside the ship or something like that

Prince Adam was such a dork!

I was 9 in 1985. I remember being so excited for Christmas specials. Nothing at the time was on demand, and the waiting and anticipation for the special to air was really something special. You would catch a commercial for something like Rudolph, and the ad would tell you something like, “Watch Rudolph Friday night at 7pm!!!” And kids would plan there night around it all waiting for the 7pm showtime!
