Hmmm
Ok its been cropping up lately so why not have a thread for it.
Discuss your Retro memories here! B)

Whether its a love for TV like A-Team, Knight Rider etc. Fans of Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli :blink: or just can't forget the Thundercats, Gobots and Care Bears! :lol:
Let us all remember when the good old times when we were young. :D




To start things off and please no :spam: :p
Am I the only one that didn't realise at 1st that Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax was a song about rudeness?? :erm: :lol:
And no I didn't have a T-shirt.
 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rocked, also Ducktales, and the Smurfs. I used to watch lots of Disney shows too.

Also old-school Mario and Duckhunt was awesome. I though Tetris sucked and still do but I played it from time to time (sometimes in class on my uber TI calculator) out of sheer boredom.

Ninjas are not bad.
 
Guns 'n' Roses - Reminds me of my crazy teenage days when I thought I was immortal :)

And a few years later Nirvana, when I had realised I wasn't immortal so doing crazy stuff was even better cos' of the risk factor!

Airwolf has one of the best theme tunes. B)
I find they never repeat the best shows. Street Hawk was cool but its never on anywhere!

Just watched Bring Back the A-Team. A doc where they got most of the actors back together. Said how George Peppard was a diva and hated Mr T.

Love to see some old Dukes of Hazard again. The film was rubbish. Rosco P Coltrane!! :lol:

My Little Pony!! :lol: ;) I would have said you were a She-Ra fan. :p

Old shows on tv lately: Quantum Leap, Due South, Space 1999, Planet of the Apes, Monkey


I remember when War Games was "cutting edge" :lol:
Anyone seen The Last Starfighter film? Fun and cool. B)
