Seven

This is technically Seven on Sunday, but since it's Monday I just like to call it Seven.

I couldn't pass up this survey up cos it's about the decade I love the most.

Seven things from the 80s that you loved/miss most...

1. Mtv- You know the Mtv that played videos nearly 24/7. And the shows that were on were funny. Don't forget Remote control, where Colin Quinn got his start on the telly. How did such a great channel go bad so fast?

2. Music - You were safe to love just about anything in the 80's. Several bands from the 60's regained popularity in this decade. The Monkees toured for their 25th anniversary..The Moody Blues released several hit singles..and did the smashing video for In Your Wildest Dreams. On top of it all...there weren't many boy bands...and the teenybopper girls weren't sluts. So all in all...a decade who's music is picked on constantly was more versatille than this crap we've got foisted on us now.. (Note ...Genres included...New Wave, Alternative, Metal, Goth..some of which you'll not see ever again)

3. Television - Ah the cheesy tv of the 80's. I used to love Double Trouble, Facts of Life (young George Clooney...THUD), Cheers, Nightcourt... The list could go on for days.

4. Nickelodeon - Yes it's still here...but it was so much better in the 80's with Double Dare and You Can't Do that on Television. Come on..tell me you didn't watch those shows!!!

5. Classic Video Games - I was such a Pac Man addict. Everywhere there was a Pac Man game or a Ms Pac Man game..I could be found. I even had a little portable one to play at home. God the money we spent on batteries!

6. Movies - There were just so many great films in the 80's I can't even begin to list them! Tim Burton began his work in the 80's...all those silly Molly Ringwald films that you just can't live without. Even some that you wanted to hate but ended up seeing anyway...Like Dirty Dancing.

7. Fads - Oh come on now..the fads were hilarious...jelly bracelets...jelly shoes...head bands....legwarmers...fingerless lace gloves. (Uh yeah I wanted to be a cross between Madonna and Cyndi Lauper...wanna make something out of it!)
