If you look up "tv shows from the 80s," I'm fairly certain I watched ALLLLLL of them (I was born in '75). You know how people reminisce about "the good old days" and always talk about how THEY used to go outside and play until the streetlights came on, and all the neighborhood kids got together to play, because that's what we did back then... not in my house man, we opted instead to watch every show and movie we could glue our eyes onto (and I usually had a book with me at the same time, ha!).

I always thought Battlestar Galactica was pretty well done, for a scifi tv show... but when the reboot series started in 2004 I was mesmerized by the upgrades -- fun to compare the old to the new.

So, having read this thread. Do you all feel, as I do, that what we watched as a child helped to form who we are as adults? I think in my case it did as I must have been searching for role models as a child due to my circumstances as a child.

not a show but a film. THE THING 1982 is my favourite film of all time for many reasons and yes it still stands the test of time easily.

When I was a teenager I loved the show solid gold. I wanted to be on solid gold when I got older. Because of that show I did become a dancer however not on TV. If I look back on it all I feel is nostalgia. I just wish Dionne Warwick would have shut up. That woman couldn't sing for shit.

I don't think they stood the test of time. Look at star trek, except the communications officer bluetooth device. Who will think? But once I got on sports... that was all I cared for. I don't watch sports anymore... except my Jaguars going to the AFC championship game going against the current Number Legend in american team sports. I don't want to hear analysis of the situation on the field I know the sport. Some I don't ever watch at all like boxing. Despite having been so dear to me at youth. Our maturity changes everything, we are people of the world now. I never been that loyal to anything. Or watched faithfully tv shows. Music I digged. Music I like always been the same. Does not changes. That is different.
