I remember getting up every Saturday morning as a kid to watch cartoons during the 80's. The cartoons would only run for so long; the time constraints made you look forward to every moment they aired. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME OF SUCH GREAT MOMENTS IN MY LIFE!!!

Every time I see one of these videos about the 80’s, I get so sad. I’m 50 and grew up in the 80’s. It was fantastic. I miss it so much, especially because the world really sucks now. I remember how excited I would be on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons, or how great it was when we finally got a color tv and cable. Waiting all week for a new episode of Knight Rider only to have the president make a speech on every channel. Riding bikes around the neighborhood with my friends and staying out until the street lights came on. I remember waiting by the radio with a cassette recorder trying to make a tape of my favorite songs. I feel bad for kids these days. Too much adult content in front of them and not much time spent with physical friends outdoors. Just a cell phone or game console and Netflix! They don’t know what they are missing!

The 80s and 90s were a great time to be a kid. It's hard now being a parent of a teenager that never got those joys. All of what you said and come home when the street lights come on, or go to the park around the corner and come when I yell your name

Grew up in the 70's/80's - best time of my life!

That was a nice little trip down memory lane. We never felt deprived or bored with what we had, we felt like we were on the cutting edge of technology! Imagine what another 40 years will bring.

Going from child to teenager the 80s was the greatest decade of all. We didn't have ipads and mobile phones but who needed them when you had your friends the streets and your imagination 😮

[JackDrinknDollarJim]

They always had remotes for the televisions back then. They called them Kids. Dad would smack you in the back of the head and say "Change the channel."

Being 55 now I remember the 80s well. They say after you pass on you can creat any world you want....for me it will be 1985 forever!

Smoking on an airplane?? How about smoking in a hospital, a mall, a restaurant, a school. All still legal til the mid 80s/ early 90s

I'd say the the thing I remember most about the 80s beside the NES and Saturday morning cartoons was riding a bike. Kids rode their bikes everywhere back then and being able to ride one was central to being able to fit in with the others.

It's funny. In the 80s you had less tv channels than you do now. But if you had cable tv, you had more variety back then than you do now. Now all you get is reality tv.

I remember all this! Thank you for bringing it all back. I miss the 80's!

Back in the day, the kids would disappear for hours at a time after school to meet up with friends, play all sorts of games etc. Parents weren't worried even if there is no way to contact them generally. It was safe and we became independent. We became tough; scratches and falls from activities were normal. We walked everywhere, crossed roads, and explored. No smartphones, no apps, no Internet. I miss those days. Sad that the current and future generations likely will not experience them like we did in the 70s and 80s. But c'est la vie. Thanks for the video. From Malaysia.

Going to the public swimming pools and diving off the towers and springboards.Young people had their radio/cassette players on their towel and it was a nice atmosphere. Such good days.

[DancingCurls-zs]

I was a young adult in the 80's and have never seen a dial phone like the green on you showed. Best generation ever!

[richardbilinski]

From Canada and this show proves how small the world is. Sure brought back warm memories! Thanks for that!

80's music was so much better than the crap kids listen to theses days.
