I wish I could go back in time. Things were so much simpler then. Cars were HIDEOUS, but the world was happier.

[@george.s.8491]

Amen josh amen. Would do almost anything to go back, everyone for the most part was cool, just normal,

[@monkeywkeys3916]

There was so much in store for the 80s and 90s for that matter.

[@monkeywkeys3916]

Yes many cars were junky. But they're were really good options. Of you knew what was what. My family's 1981 Olds was finally traded in 2005. Very good sedan.

[@dalemulholland9114]

I loved those big land ships

[@tgreer72]

We didn’t know the cars were ugly, tho. I will say, they at least had some variety...everything looks so much the same these days.

[@hamiltonlee3653]

The 80's what a time!

[@Scottwilkie18]

Remember it was supposed to be revenge of the Jedi

[@pannoni8449]

Well if it was, Episode III would likely have been "Return Of The Sith".

[@Naminski1a]

You mean Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005).

[@plymouth491]

No, the original title actually was, "Revenge of the Jedi," but George Lucas changed it at the last minute because he wasn't comfortable with it, the notion that the morally pure Jedi would be interested in revenge.

[@Roller76]

@@Naminski1a He knew that. You must not have read the context of the conversation.

[@Roller76]

Lucas DID originally have the title as Revenge of the Jedi but like previously said, Lucas felt a Jedi wouldn't act on revenge. For moral reasons and a Jedi is supposed to have control over their emotions. So Lucas changed it to Return of the Jedi. Years later when he was releasing the prequels, he didn't have a problem with the title, Revenge of the Sith, because the Sith act on anger and other evil ways.

About 28 minutes in, the newscaster talks about an "Explosion in Nashville, Tennessee" 👀 eerily similar to 2020...

The voice of Peggy Taylor, one of NBC's best staff announcers.

[@yankeedoodle1963]

I hope they remembered to wash “down there” during the Irish Spring commercials.

[@brentmann2988]

the mom in the sugar free Kool-Aid commercial would later become the mom (Marla Pennington) on Small Wonder.

[@jeredalmeida1880]

Before they ever coined the term Milf, we had Mrs. Lawson.

[@Tr0nzoid]

The commercial for the "Return of the Jedi" glasses features a strangely modified Millennium Falcon model.

I want to know more about the illegal fireworks accident

[@Desslar]

15:38 The A-Team "Womps on the Wimps"?? That's some oddly macho bravado for this crew. Maybe B.A. could get away with saying that, but certainly not Murdock or Face.

Life was so much easier when stereotypes were still ok.

[@Wis_Dom]

They were great until white men started complaining about getting picked on. They couldn't handle what they were dishing out.

So deciding if a baby should be aborted was in the head of a 7-year-old kid?

I have never seen any star wars movies and have no desire to do so...
