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. That was living!

I miss those cartoons too, the 80s had the best, from He-Man and She-Ra to Thundercats and the Ninja Turtles. 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.

[@rtwice93555]

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.

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 .

What i miss about the 80s? everything. The Cars The Music The TV Shows The Films Just to name a few.

[@logandarklighter]

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!

And I've been dealing with those pain in the asses ever since, just last week I was up at my mother's house and she had me open something for her and I couldn't get the seal to peel off the top cleanly so I wound up having to scrape it off, I looked at her and said "Do you remember when opening a bottle like this was something that was simple? Back before some asshole poisoned a bunch of Tylenol and we still have to deal with it all these years later".

If you were born in 1980 you wouldn't be old enough to be aware of much of what was going on until the very late 80's. You would have had to have been born in 1970 or earlier to be old enough to catch everything that was happening

Lots of beloved film scores came out of that year. Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by John Williams, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by James Horner, Blade Runner by Vangelis, and so on. Jerry Goldsmith in particular was prolific with releases that include Poltergeist, First Blood, and The Secret of NIMH.

[@brandongardner7398]

You mentioned Ozzy, but didn't mention the death of the great Randy Rhoads, who played guitar for Ozzy and passed away in March of 1982. Not even a month after I was born.

[@MrJonsonville5]

Seriously, they mentioned the death of some coach that nobody has ever heard of (and who didn't even die in 1982), but nothing about Rhoads.

[@indominion]

Master Rhoads' legacy continues and his popularity increases with time such as all legends.

[@upperleftcoastchelseafan7718]

I get it about Randy Rhodes and the guitar god status and how great he was but there are a shit ton of sports fans who know who Bear Bryant was. 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.

@@madmanmark8387 From what I read, Randy was really getting burned out from touring constantly along with Ozzy's drinking and drug use, Randy's days were numbered. I guess he was going to finish out the DOAM tour, then split. Idk, he probably would have been the overall greatest guitarist for sure. Look at the impact he made with those 2 albums. The playing is vastly improved on Diary definitely. I vividly remember that day like it was a week ago, I was 15 and devistated
