    I will never forget 1986. The year my daughter was born, my first wedding anniversary and the year I bought my first home. Cherished memories. We were so young. If only we knew what was coming.

      Yeah, realizing that world governments were already well into their plan of increasing their power exponentially when I was born in 1992 makes me depressed. I'm glad I didn't truly see it until three years ago so I could at least enjoy my life then.

    My favorite 80s year! That year at the age of 31, I became the Program Director of a Radio Station that I had listened to when I was in the 5th and 6th grade. I would do homework and day-dream of being a DJ.
    I guess Day Dreams do come true.

We were all stunned, the restaurant was silent with disbelief, it was a surreal moment for sure.

    A pivotal year for me. The first half was part of my 8th grade middle school year. The second was part of my high school freshman year. 1985 was "the year of the decade". 1986 was the year we now old Gen-Xers started slowly growing up. I remember every single thing this video mentioned.

We were worried about the radioactive cloud that would circle the planet. Also a privately owned Cessna collided in midair with an Air Mexico DC-9 over Los Angeles in September. No survivors. 🥺

      It was her only TV series that aired on a network other than CBS, and lasted roughly
      two months, before it was unceremoniously cancelled in mid-November.

    Since this was the year I graduated high school, I feel compelled to comment. 1) Oprah didn't start out as the inspiration for all women everywhere; she started out as the sleazy version of Phil Donohue. The first few years of her show featured mostly deviants or celebs in trouble. She finally got so popular that she could afford to go respectable. Well, sort of. She DID inflict those famous non-doctors, Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, onto the world.
    2) Hands Across America. Citizen activism doesn't work unless laws are changed. Rather than holding hands, they should've been mad that Ronald "Iran-Contra" Reagan wrote the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act when he was governor of CA back in 1967, a law that deferred mental health decisions onto crazy people. Then, as president, he cut federal funding that managed state mental hospitals. Reagan was almost entirely responsible for the homelessness explosion that happened in the early 80s, especially in CA. Interesting that we can't find the money to reinstitute the old programs, though. Subsidizing Musk's death-trap tunnel and Bezos' trip to Mars are better investments, evidently.
    3) After watching the Challenger blow up, we didn't do anything for the rest of the day, all of our classes. Our teachers were deeply depressed. I remember my English teacher put on a video: "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". I think my biology put on a tape of NOVA or something. A grim day.

On a positive note, what a time to be a teenager. The movies, the music, the fads and trends. I'd give ANYTHING to go back to those times. This era COMPLETELY SUCKS!! NOTHING good about it. That's why most movies now are set in a different era. I ALMOST feel bad for kids these days..ALMOST!!

    In October 5th (4th in a few places) arguably the most 1980's of all cartoons Jem and The Holograms debuted in full-sized episodes in US Syndication. Most of the US audience who were raised in that era would remember watching them every Sunday* on WPIX (NYC), WGN (Chicago), KWGN (Denver) or KTLA (Los Angeles). Lots of other stations also broadcasted it on Sundays and some on Saturdays, depending on the market.
    Close to that same day it also debuted dubbed in Spanish in both Puerto Rico (Telemundo) and Mexico (Canal Cinco).
    * the following year the cartoon would move to a weekday morning or afternoon schedule, usually in tandem with Transformers and / or Gi Joe A Real American Hero
