We were the last generation of "feral" kids. We played without supervision, were gone to unknown locales for hours at a time and no one even thought about it! We pedaled a bicycle to everywhere we wanted to go and if you couldn't do that, you had to stay home. The only boundaries were, state with whom you are planning to be, where you will be going and be home before dark. Everything else was fair game.

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

You can't even compare the 80's to nowadays. Social Media has bred generations of morons with delusions of importance without earning anything. In turn these people have zero sense of conscience. I suspect you weren't even born in the 80's and if you were then it's far more likely you were born on the back end of it so you wouldn't have really experienced it.. Not saying it was perfect but it was less complicated and manipulative. Nowadays kids of all ages have access to adult movies through their tech and media, which has hastened the decline of any morality, standards or compassion. They view that as how life is and treat people with the same devaluation. The incessant need for instant gratification from _clicks_ & _Friending_ numbers has only fueled mental breaks. People being unable to accept that the things they post on social media are not as important as they think. How not everybody will like what they say or do. How social decline is prevented when an individual starts tacking stock and responsibility for what they say and post and stops the cycle. Unable to form meaningful relationships because of a lack of empathy for anyone else. It is all about the _me me me_ and _now now now_ . People not doing their due diligence in things such as current affairs. Everything is easy with the click of a button and everyone has an opinion but people will seldom bother to go to or past page 30+ to check independent sources and because of that they view sites like Wikipedia as some sort of bastion of truth which further facilitates a low brain function and makes them far more pliable to be manipulated and controlled. To measure the bad things of that time with the bad things of today is quite a massive leap.@@jenniferwilcox9759

This brought back so many childhood memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@CurrentlyOnLV-426]

The 80s will live forever as long as I remember it. And I will remember it. Forever.

[@DizGuys]

Me too!

[@RememberTheFalklands]

This just popped up on my suggestions... As a Brit, we were fortunate enough to get the majority of these shows. Watching these openings brought a wave of nostalgia: memories of simpler times, back when I was a kid (I'm 54 now). Sat in front of the TV, tuning in every week; with beloved family members, now departed... Thank you for this. For a brief moment in time - in a world seemingly gone mad - I was in a happier place, smiling warmly, thinking back.

"believe it or not, I'm walking on air!" omg the feels man.

[@TresDelfines]

Long time ago, was my ringtone...

[@natachamacaillant2262]

I love that theme it’s stuck in my head.

[@carolmcclelland4229]

What about The Greatest American Hero? Or was that ‘90s?

[@inisipisTV]

The series is available in YT.

[@sashageorge2939]

Honestly I don’t remember that show but I ironically remembered the theme songs. It seems like a good theme song was critical back then. Maybe even helped people tune in….just for the song.

[@carlbeer7182]

Started with one of the best. Loved Maddie and David. Moonlighting was fantastic. RIP Al Jarreau

[@rizzwifey05]

Man, I miss the 80s. Im so grateful to have been a kid back then. Best tv shows, best movies, best music, no social media, Mtv actually played music videos, and we played outside and had a BALL. Best time to be alive, honestly.

[@staceyl.thienel1499]

Knew where your friends were by the bikes in the yards, hone when street lights on, and Saturday Morning cartoons. I so miss the 80s; wonderful time to grow up

[@OohMitch]

My Mom used to literally FORCE me to come inside from playing!!! Cheers theme song meant bedtime!!! What a time to be alive 😢

[@flex_007]

The theme to Dallas still rocks

[@Antonio-nc2be]

Totally agree 👍 I live 45 mins from Dallas

[@Samhain5]

When I heard this song, it was time for bed.

[@Misterword20]

Full House I used to watch during my lunch time about fifteen years ago and it was very popular in Brazil. But MacGyver was a real fever in Brazil in the 80’s and 90’s. It was such a success that, even nowadays, when a guy is smart enough to solve problems quickly, people call him MacGyver. Both TV shows was a huge success in Brazil and they are still remembered.

[@juan7836]

The good old days. How many memories! 🥲

[@n.d.m.515]

I hated my 80s life as a teenager, but I loved the 80s as a decade. No other time had so much good music, good movies, good television, and freedom. Sure there were societal problems and political disagreements, but the majority of people had a sense of community and nieghborly cohesion.

[@rodrigo5265]

The 80s always surpassing these absurd times 😊

[@Blueskies1180]

Oh man…. The 80s and early 90s were SO amazing…! So simple, we just enjoyed life, without constant need to take pictures of everything we did…

[@a.franco5020]

Omg..Hart to Hart was my favorite. Used to watch it every single week. I'm almost in tears longing for the 80s again.😢

[@daviddisanto9401]

Me too😢😢

[@omarc9977]

Wow! This is a time capsule. As a kid from the eighties it was a daily routine to hear this intros or knowing by heart the themes. Great video!

[@michaelhood1291]

I just hit play and continued working... THIS IS A TIMEMACHINE TO MY CHILDHOOD!!!

[@raybelmo]

100%

[@josephinejosephine8776]

I was a teen of the 80s and grew up watching American shows in Singapore. I loved Remington Steele!! The chemistry between Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist was hot! I also loved the A-Team, Knight Rider and V!!!

[@russelturner5771]

I concur with everything you said about Remington Steele & Stephanie Zimbalist.

[@bukitkatilmp]

The theme song from Cheers, OMG, thats the one song that I really loved back then. But all those drama series from the 80s plus sitcoms, they were the epitome of the heights of television.

[@lessacto]

Grew up in the 80s and watched most of these shows. Man, hearing these theme songs brings such strong feelings of nostalgia. No internet, cell phones, or social media. Played outside all day. If I had a time machine I'd go back and experience it all over again.

[@YildizAy05]

Oh i miss watching these shows with my family. We had one TV so these shows were watched as families together. Nothing can beat those times. The best times ever!!

[@DanielSiano]

Ok. This needs to be a series. All decades, multiple installments per decade. Phenomenal idea for a video. The nostalgia hit me so hard. Especially Cheers. Especially Cheers.

[@86BarbOmega]

i second this notion!

[@kgrubb9398]

And my bow! I mean I third this!

[@gordonwallin2368]

And Hill Street Blues. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

I've been living in the same neighbourhood of a big city for over 30 years now. Everyone around here knows everyone else. In my neighbourhood, it's all about the cafe culture. When I walk into a cafe where everyone does indeed know my name, I sometimes think of the Cheers theme.

[@tompaquette9429]

The Cheers theme song always gets to me...probably my favorite.

[@MaybrittPedersen-w7j]

I miss the 80's. So many awesome tv shows.I spend hours watching all these shows. The best theme melody is Airwolf.

[@CPBoxsetPlaylists]

Imagine the TV intros from now being shared in 30 years time. The video will be a minute long.

[@turbochrist]

And literally 0 views.

[@StreetComp]

Interesting how these shows reflect the generally positive, upbeat and hopeful 80s after very difficult 70s in the US

[@andreabanuelosavila2317]

Every product reflects it’s time.

[@ValHemi265]

Kiwi here, New Zealand. They also shaped our lives as well as English comedies of the 70s and 80s. We too saw the world change and now I Long for it back. Now 47, I live on YT old programs. Waltons, the dukes, anything of the by gone era. Even for just a few moments. Take care. We made it.

[@StreetComp]

@@ValHemi265 I’m 52 so I get it but I do enjoy a lot of new and recent shows, especially when CGI is used well it can take us to remarkable places like GoT or Battlestar Galactica, though there is something nice about old shows and everything you see onscreen is real

The A team theme tune made me so happy, good times

[@deathb1ossom]

Oh my lord, the nostalgia slammed into me like a tidal wave lol. I'm 48 and still remember all of these. And I also still remember some others not on the list like Tales of the Gold Monkey, Wizards and Warriors, LA Law. Good times.

[@ashleydowney1222]

I was born in the early 90s and I love 80s shows. I can't believe that the Family Ties or the Growing Pains theme song wasn't on this list. By far they were two of the best theme songs of the 80s. They used to make me feel warm and safe as a kid growing up in a dysfunctional home.

[@CoeurD_Amaris22]

I havent watched the video yet but I was so looking forward to hearing the Family Ties theme song. It's my absolute favorite one. Anytime I hear it as an adult, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and brings me back to simpler times. Now I'm bummed it's not on here 😕

[@LauraHall-fb4fe]

Loved the list but that was my first thought, too. They also missed Facts of Life, Different Strokes, Love Boat, Fantasy Island. Really, they could do a part 2 and get another 30+ minutes video.

[@jonstefanik9400]

Family Ties theme "Without Us", I mean c'mon it's Johnny Mathis (w/Denice Williams) for crying out loud

[@jlopezenciso]

Everything seemed less complicated in those times... thanks for this memories. Greetings from 🇨🇴

[@llaptoo]

Let's not forget about Sledge Hammer. The whole family loved it 😊

[@jacekatalakis8316]

I'm pretty sure Mike Post had a hand in at least half of these in some way, shape or form. Also,so so many of these still hold up well today. say what you will about MacGyver, the theme tune is still fantastic

[@rthompson938]

Could be prejudiced but it was one of the best decades ever for Music, TV and life in general.

O man the 80s were a great time to grow up as a kid, I used to watch a lot of these shows happy times

just like the music, todays crap doesn't even come close to what we had back then. Sure makes me nostalgic and homesick for the good old days.

[@dck030]

Not only the series were gold, also - or especially - the soundtracks-... each one is a master piece.80s were quality time. miss them.

[@andreim.5324]

The one word that comes to mind that can describe perfectly the 80's as a decade is: "cool". I grew up with all these and in my oppinion, the 80's were the best decade in history. Everything about it from TV Shows, movies, music, cartoons, etc was fantastic. When you were watching these shows back then, they all gave you a sense of coziness that was unique. To this day, I make it a habit of watching pretty much all these shows regularly. Thank you for this superb montage! The 90's have to be next😁

[@theoneaboveall6768]

I’m 27 and I agree

[@solan7978]

You're 100% right. The 80's was the best decade ever! Thank God I got to be a kid then!

[@sebastianniqvist3144]

We got a lot of these translated into Spanish… thanks for that era now long gone… it was such a good time and personally I didn’t know how truly good were those times. Now in 2024 I never thought things would turn out to be the way they are now. Thankfully I did live the 80’s…

[@jazzboneplaya]

5:35 The Sax work for the Cagney and Lacey intro is outstanding! Born in 75 so I remember a lot of these themes. But I didn't become a musician until the '90s. Now I'm listening and I can really appreciate how killing that is😊

[@andresmith3651]

Nothing like those days where you're sitting there in your pajamas as a kid without a care in the world hearing these shows come on as you have your family in the living room and you're in your protected bubble of peace and Bliss and innocence of your childhood… 😌 Ohh please take me back home…. 😩🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️ #ChildOfThe80's

Grew up in the 70s, was in my 20s in the 80s. I am 62 now. This brings back so many memories.

[@robrichpo]

These shows had some lovely lead actressses who unparalleled up to this day: Cybill Shepherd, Victoria Principal, Donna Mills, Veronica Hamel, Stephanie Zimbalist, Heather Thomas, Connie Selleca, and the awesome foursome of The Golden Girls. Joan Collins was missing though. Dynasty's clip was from an earlier season. She didn't join the cast until the sophomore and third season. Thank you for putting this together!

[@danmorley8116]

Great as always. If anyone wants a terrific introduction to 80s prime time TV, this is it. I know that at least a few of those songs charted-"Fame", "The Greatest American Hero" and "Miami Vice" come to mind.

[@KP1956-o7r]

When life was oh so simple yet somehow had so much more meaning than it does today. I truly miss my childhood. Thank you mum and dad for making life so meaningful despite living in such simpler times. I watched almost all these shows with my dear parents who sadly are no longer here today - how i cherish those memories. Life honestly is so empty now and nothing just seems to have any true meaning anymore - life has truly lost its magic.

[@daboys1215]

How lucky we were to have grown up in the 80's. I miss those days.

[@seanjones7121]

Just takes you back when television themes were the best and the name Mike Post popping up for many of our favourites programmes.

[@thesaintst1851]

True 😊

[@whateveritwasitis]

did any theme of any show in history get you as pumped as Miami Vice? that show set a fashion trend, no show ever did that. greatest show ever in so many ways people dont even realize, watch a Doc on it sometime. The music, the sets, the wardrobe, the storyline, all innovation and trailblazing. next comes Airwolf, MagumPI, KnightRider. But I can remember as a kid, Just the open to Maimi Vice sent adrenaline rushing through my body.

[@eddyhung7497]

as an 80s child i love watching A Team...Knight Rider...Airwolf...Dukes of Hazzard everyday
