Life in The 80's: Fraggle Rock

http://ijustwantaneasylife.blogspot.com/2006/07/fraggle-rock.html

Life in The 80's. Good Blogs / Other 80s sites. Enter your search terms. The series was created by Jim Henson, and ran from 83 to 87. It was so funny, and featured a cast of creatures, mainly the fraggles, but also the Doozers and the Gorgs. Gobo, Mokey, Red, Wembley, and Boober. Fraggles live a very carefree life, spending most of their time playing, exploring, and generally enjoying themselves. They were bloody hilarious, and lived on a diet of radishes and "doozer sticks" (see below). I loved it. ...

Remember those? The Nessies were great, I can remember it so well, which is surprising, because for the most part my memory is completely shot! Mr McTout playing the bagpipes, and Ferociousness eating the sound on the intro. Bizarre! They truly were happy days! Below watch the whole first episode of family ne...

Life in The 80's: The A-Team

Life in The 80's. Good Blogs / Other 80s sites. Enter your search terms. Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as Soldiers of Fortune. If no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire. The A-Team. The bad guys would then lay siege to the A-Team, who would, without fail, find them...

Life in The 80's. Good Blogs / Other 80s sites. Enter your search terms. This really needs no introduction. Honestly - I could start a Blog dedicated to Knight Rider, and never run out of stuff to say, so Ill keep this short. Ill start with the intro that was narrated by James Earl Jones aka Darth Vadar:. In reality the Trans-Am is complete crap, but luckily they had a Molecular Bonded Shell fitted to it. Honestly, if I had to have a crime fighting car in real life I would rather have a Citreon BX. The b...

Life in The 80's: Swatch / Digital 80s Watches

Life in The 80's. Good Blogs / Other 80s sites. Enter your search terms. Swatch / Digital 80s Watches. For the comment on the last post and reminding me about this! The swatch, and 80s watches in general were brilliant. Todays watches are rubbish. The 80s ones were a fad that caught on around the playground pretty quick in the 80s. God only knows. But it seemed like the right thing to do back in 1985. They were so cool. Swatch Watches, as with punk rock, leg warmers from Flash Dance, charm necklaces, jel...

Street Hawk was a short lived television series that aired back in 1985 on ABC. It lasted only one season and there was only 13 episodes ever made (what a shame! The show followed the templates of the other television shows of the futuristic crime-fighting vehicle genre of the 80s most notably, Knight Rider.

In the 80's, what was yellow, hard to control and sent millions of youngsters into hysterics when it appeared on their TV screens? No, not Oliver Reed after a few shandies too many, I'm talking about the Chock-A-Block car. I feel as though she can be proud to be part of such a professional and valuable TV show. Hell no, its was more than a TV show. 'Chock-A-Block' was a. For the under-5's of Thatcher's generation. After alighting fr...

(Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand) was one of the better ones, even if it was a complete rip off of Transformers. Bruce Sato's helmet was called Lifter, for example, and obviously when he uttered the words Lifter ON! His helmet would shoot out a beam and. well. lift things. This would cause their vehicles to corrode away and be useless! Miles...

Ask anyone over the age of 25 what they think of children's television these days and nine times out of 10 they'll tell you it's inane rubbish. Those presenters. Bloody idiots in day glow T-shirts patronising the hell out of the kids. Now, Childrens BBC and the broom cupboard was excellent, mainly due to the hugely ramshackle way it was presented. Ahhhh the 80s. Super Ted, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Ulysses 31. All gold. Amazingly, ...
