Same here 😊👍 I was born in 83 had an great childhood until my Dad passed away from lung cancer when I was 9. Everything seemed to go downhill from there...
I have to say that this channel has completely captured my attention. Voice over guy is one of the best I’ve heard in a while, and it’s extremely educational and entertaining, can’t wait for the 90’s series.
I feel lucky to be born in '78. To be a kid in the 80's enjoying Nintendo, Legos and Transformers, and a teenager in the 90's listening to grunge or gangster rap or whatever you preferred. All the best movies came out of the 80's and 90's and technology was good enough to make your life easier but not so much where you had to be dependent on it.
To be honest, me neither. And I'm actually from the 90s. There's something about every decade in the 20th century that makes it very special. The 21st century is bollocks. If I could I'd return to the 20th century and stay there forever.
Same, the 80's was a good decade to grow up in (I grew up in Ireland), life with my family was quite crappy, but it didn't matter much because me and my friends spent so much time outdoors, no matter what the weather was like. As we went through the 90's, kids spent less and less time outdoors, and by the turn of the new millennium kids were hardly seen outside at all. I'd hate to be growing up now, what a crappy couple of decades that have just gone by.
Very good video and series! Much love for putting these together. I was 9 years of age and living in Pontiac, Michigan in 1989. I still watch the movie The Wizard starring Fred Savage. I got a Nintendo NES in 1992 and Sega Genesis in mid 90's. I'm stuck in the past a bit
I was born in 1980. Whoever came up with this series, give them a raise! One of my favorite series on all of TV and I am absolutely stoked about the 90’s series coming.
Can’t give the producers of this series enough accolades. So well produced and written. Very entertaining and informative. 89 was a good year for my business. These clips can take one right back to that time. Bravo.👏🏼👏🏼🤠🇺🇸
I'll tell you something weird: I had enough of my opiate addiction, so I quit in February, not long before the pandemic. Imagine how frustrating it would have been trying to get drugs, when we were told to isolate.
thenifell Good for you! Congrats 🎉 I was on MAJOR Methamphetamines, and quaaludes when I was in my teens, back in the 1980’s. I overdosed during a suicide attempt and landed in the hospital. I took my last quaalude on 24, of September 1988, and have been clean from hard street drugs ever since. But I went cold turkey. Wasn’t easy. Now I have chronic pain and would kill for real opiates,,as the pain is crippling.... But what I use now is a natural plant called Kratom. It’s a huge plant that grows wild in south east Asia. And it’s big selling point is that it has opiate like results without being a real opiate. It really helps me a lot.
2020 had enough stuff to last a life time shit wild it literally feels like I went threw my whole life this year it almost feels like 2020 will never end
Repeating the Uncle Buck scene where he gave the lady a quarter and told her to go downtown and have a rat chew her mole off got me in SO much trouble through the years. John Candy was amazing!
A 20 second soundbite on a historical event is hardly informative on any level. Now it's enjoyable for us who lived in the time because we can remember those events we've probably never thought of again till watching these episodes.
Well done. I enjoyed the entire series. Couple of small errors but overall a wonderful effort. I look forward to whatever decade that you tackle next. I probably will not be as critical with the upcoming decades as I was this one. The 80s hold a very special place in my heart. Keep up the great work and I look forward to whatever you have coming next. I am eager and expecting your period
Barry Sanders the ultimate pro that simply handed the ball to the official and ran back to the bench. No ridiculous celebrations. The Lions wasted his talent.

I remember sitting in our living room, watching the World Series, when the earthquake struck. But the most traumatizing part was seeing the freeway that had collapsed with cars trapped inside. I was 9 years old and for the longest time I was terrified any time we crossed under a bridge.
I was 12 when I saw that on TV in New Zealand, it totally freaked me out watching the footage, as we had always been told we were due for a really big earthquake in the Southern Alps fault line. Fast forward to September 2010 and we got hit bad, but from a different fault line. Still jump when I hear deep rumbling sounds.
Sergio Leone is one of the biggest influences on Quentin Tarintino. The Leone/Eastwood: Man with No Name Trilogy and My Name is Trinity Trilogy are some of the best Spaghetti Westers ever made.
Glad this series is gonna continue to the '90s. Hopefully it will also cover the '00s, '10s, and '20s! This reminds me of the old "I Love the '80s" shows on VH1 from back in the day. I think doing the decades in chronological order seems fine
1989 baby, the year I was born!!!!!! This is gonna be sooo cool to watch considering I was born in Sept of that year lol thank you so much for an amazing, informative & fun series Weird History💕

Darn,,the 80s are over, just like my childhood in 89 when i graduated highschool. This was a very enjoyable series, thank you. The 90s were rough before i found my way in life, but i will still be watching the series.
Yeah, he has never received enough credit over the years, neither when he was playing or after he retired. What he was able to do was so amazing, he should definitely be in the hall of fame. It sounds like a story out of a movie, a one handed pitcher not only having a solid professional career, but also throwing a no hitter. It was nothing short of amazing to watch the man field the ball, which he did well. He would keep his fielding glove which was left handed like he was backwards on his right nub. After throwing the pitch, he would immediately put it on his left hand. If he had to field the ball, he would quickly put the glove on his left hand, field the ball, and then stick the glove under his right armpit and retrieve the ball with his left and then throw it to first base or whichever base was appropriate. It was truly an amazing thing to watch, and he was so good at it that he consistently threw out even the fastest players without giving up an infield hit. You might also think that it would be easy to bunt against him for a base hit, but he was extremely good at fielding balls with his bare hand. He was an inspiration to watch, and a real inspiration for disabled sports fans and non sports fan alike, as well as people in general, by showing them that there were no limitations that couldn't be overcome. As a short aside, it's interesting to note that his story was taught in schools and used on standardized tests in the reading comprehension section. But liberals had them removed because they took umbrage with the fact that these stories implied that his disability somehow made him different from other people, and that it was bigoted to say that his disability was an obstacle that he had to overcome. I stead, they claimed it should have been a non issue because disabled people should be able to do anything that able bodies people could do. They also removed similar stories about a blind man who was able to climb mountains. I just always found that funny and absurd, because I was in school when the controversy was taking place.
@@augustgreig9420 there was PETE GRAY before him, who was a 1-handed outfielder if I recall. I think there may have been a movie made about him in fact, so Jim Abbott probably deserves one, or a documentary at least.
@@augustgreig9420 Having grown up being considered by others as living with disabilities (I never thought that about myself) I can almost guarantee you all he cared about was being given a chance and being able to do what he loved. The notoriety and all weren't needed. Whoever gave him his first chance is a story that needs to be told if it hasn't been already. I'm 60 years old and I remember each and every person who gave me that chance to prove myself without judging me by appearance only. Just as you never forget the ones that blatantly turned you away simply based on what they perceived vs actually seeing for themselves. I always felt sorry for them as they were the ones missing out :-) His story being removed from the school for those reasons was ridiculous. Let the students decide that for themselves. Most so-called able-bodied people never make it to the big leagues. I and many like us like to say, Be an inspiration, not a victim. He was an inspiration for sure and great to watch.
Oct. 17, 1989, I was shopping with my 3 year old in an older part of Oakland, we were looking for a fake moustache for his Charlie Chaplin costume, when I felt the floor vibrate, I could see my son jumping and bouncing and I said to him, "If you don't stop that jumping, you're going to shake this whole place down around our ears!" At that point, the first jolt hit, I grabbed my son and started running for the doorway, the lights were swinging into the ceiling and glass rained on us, while items on the shelves were being pitched at us when I noticed that the door was entirely made of art deco era glass. I threw my son under the cashier's counter instead. I looked out the window and I could see the pavement rising and falling like waves on the ocean. When it ended, I went home to find that the chimney had twisted sideways above the roof. Later when my husband got home, we got ropes and pulled it down fearing an aftershock would launch it into the house. A few weeks later my 3 year old asked how the chimney got broken, I told him it was the earthquake. He said to me, "You mean the earthquake happened here too?" A few days after this I heard my son sobbing hysterically, when I went to find out what was wrong, he said, "I didn't mean to do it!" When I asked, "what did you do?" his response broke my heart, "I started the earthquake! I got all those people dead!" It took hours of talking to him to make him understand that a 3 year old, weighing 45 pounds, could not start an earthquake! All because right before it hit, I'd said to him, "You're going to shake this place down around our ears"
Bluebelle51, Thank you for sharing your incredible story. I can only imagine the fear you, and everyone else who was there, experienced when your world started shaking itself apart like that. We experience no such events here in Ireland. And as someone else said above, it's nice that you took the time and patience to calm your son the way you did, back then many parents would have gone down the, "Don't be so stupid, how could it be your fault?" path, and left it at that. Obviously you were a good mother. I do hope your (now 34 year old?) son got through his blaming himself for the earthquake😊! What a thing to blame yourself for!! And I also hope your house got repaired promptly.
Thank you for this. I wasn't born yet, but my mom was in West Oakland waiting for the World Series to start when it all happened. She was also right in the middle of the massive Oakland Hills fire that happened two years later while pregnant with me. The Bay has been through a lot.
@@chicagoakland I went through the 91 fire as well I went to my church and found they were evacuating people from the hills to their parking lot when a helicopter came over with the PA on saying, "the fire is on the ridge, you must leave this area immediately" Since I had a huge station wagon, we loaded about 10 people into my car and I took them to my house and left them in the yard while I went back to get more, but a block before I got to the church, the police had the area closed to incoming traffic, so I had to turn back
NOOOO!!!! Now it's time for 1980....part 2! 1981.....part 2.....etc..... GAWDAMN. I LOVE THESE! Don't ever get rid of the narrator. His voice, total icing on the cake.

Oh man, this was and is such an epic series and I want to say thank you so much, I loved every moment of it. I was born in 84 so a lot of the list I can remember and wow did it bring a whole lot of memories, so thanks for that also. I am really looking forward to the 90s, it’s gonna be just as epic, I can’t wait. Lastly, please, please do the special edition you mentioned. I feel it would go over just as well as everything you already did. Thanks so much for everything, the great content, everyone who worked on this, their time, energy, effort, and care to put forth the work to make this series so accurate and come across in a way that just made me and I’m assuming everyone else, wanting to come back every weekend after watch the great weekday videos to catch the epic following years episode. So again, thank you guys, everyone who made this happen. Take care, stay safe, and peace until next time.
Great series and a new fan of the channel, it was a pleasure to go back into time and can't wait for the next one. I'm a 80s baby, but raised in the 90s. 7/4/1989
Thank you so much for doing this series. I laughed, I cried. But, most importantly, i remembered the best years of my life. Hopefully i will carry these precious memories till the end of my days...
I'm not American, but this is an extremely fun to watch series, since many aspects of that culture were exported overseas and were an integral part of my childhood. The only thing I think I won't ever be able to understand is the American fascination with baseball. Thank you and keep up the great work, WH!
i really enjoyed the timeline videos and i enjoy your channel. i like the fact that you kept the series interesting and almost impossible to not watch the full video. im sure the 90s edition will be just as entertaining. as far as decades go, while all the decades of the 20th century were important in there own way and the 1970s , 80s and 90s are often in the spotlight for not only their importance, but also the roles they played in society, fashion, music and television, i think that maybe the 1910s 20s or 30s would make for a interesting series. aside from the depression or womens right to vote, there are alot of really neat and inspiring things that occurred.
Timeline 2020: 30 minutes of non-stop footage of a on fire dumpster with 2020 written on the side in human excrement and a loop track of wordless screaming.
I swear to you I have never watched anything more enjoyable than this. I watched the “91 one and I’ve never wanted anything more than to learn of This culture shock. Incredible dawg. Love your work. Jesus. Meant. For. You. To. Do. This. It is incredible what you do for a living. Take it all in. Your fulfillment is more than words can explain. May god be with you and with your spirit.
YES! This was awesome!! I was 14 in Washington in 1989 and I am blown away that Ken Griffey, jr was only 19!!! I am not a sports fan but hey, there wasn’t much to watch those days and I was aware of the world, things just look so different when you look back decades later. Holy crap. Thank you for this. 1989 was the last “good year”, in my humble opinion anyway.
This series is amazing! Please do the 90s or 70s next! The 90s would be awesome, but then after that you'd have to go to the 2000s, and I'd think more people would be interested in seeing a timeline on the '70s than one from 2000 to 2010, but maybe I'm wrong.
Great series and show, very nicely executed! Thank you :) Minor note: Gretzky scored his 1851st point in that game, not goal. In his entire career, he scored 894 goals (regular season). Looking forward to the next series :)
The timeline music jingle is SO COOL so 80’s omg I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I sure watch from 1980 to 1989 all over again thank you so much for doing it
A few highlights I remember: BATMAN with Michael Keaton (Jack Nicholson as The Joker), "Electric Youth" by Debbie Gibson, "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel, earthquake at Candlestick Park during World Series, Lucille Ball and Bette Davis both died.
This series is better than Netflix.
better than the CNN version too.

Looks like we are getting the 90s next. Get the popcorn ready fellas.
We got a smart one here folks.
cant wait
The 90s sucks except early 90s the 80s rules and is more awsome then the shitty grunge hip hop techno 1990s
The nineties weren’t as cool as the 80s
Markus Forsberg the 90s were good until 1996. Then it all went to crap. The 2001 came and now this modern times

My favourite part of "Timeline: The 80s" was the whole series.
I feel lucky to be born in '78. To be a kid in the 80's enjoying Nintendo, Legos and Transformers, and a teenager in the 90's listening to grunge or gangster rap or whatever you preferred. All the best movies came out of the 80's and 90's and technology was good enough to make your life easier but not so much where you had to be dependent on it.

Born in 1977... Even my kids think all the good movies come from the 80’s and 90’s. They just know it was better to be a kid in the 80’s.
I hesitated watching this because once again...I didn't want the 80s to end.

How was your new year 2000?
The worst part about going to the 90s series is we are losing that killer 80s intro music :(
So we're going to get some killer 90s intro music instead? I'm game.
Whats 80 intro music
They shouldn't switch it til '92 IMO. Thats when the 90's really began.
classic Arnold 80's action movie intro
How about "killer" by Adamski, came out in 1990, so it's kinda got an 80's feel to the track. That could be your intro song...
The 90's got me into my adulthood... those will be a wild emotial ride. Can't wait!

If he had to field the ball, he would quickly put the glove on his left hand, field the ball, and then stick the glove under his right armpit and retrieve the ball with his left and then throw it to first base or whichever base was appropriate.
It was truly an amazing thing to watch, and he was so good at it that he consistently threw out even the fastest players without giving up an infield hit. You might also think that it would be easy to bunt against him for a base hit, but he was extremely good at fielding balls with his bare hand.
He was an inspiration to watch, and a real inspiration for disabled sports fans and non sports fan alike, as well as people in general, by showing them that there were no limitations that couldn't be overcome.
As a short aside, it's interesting to note that his story was taught in schools and used on standardized tests in the reading comprehension section. But liberals had them removed because they took umbrage with the fact that these stories implied that his disability somehow made him different from other people, and that it was bigoted to say that his disability was an obstacle that he had to overcome. I stead, they claimed it should have been a non issue because disabled people should be able to do anything that able bodies people could do. They also removed similar stories about a blind man who was able to climb mountains. I just always found that funny and absurd, because I was in school when the controversy was taking place.
@@augustgreig9420 there was PETE GRAY before him, who was a 1-handed outfielder if I recall. I think there may have been a movie made about him in fact, so Jim Abbott probably deserves one, or a documentary at least.
@@augustgreig9420 Having grown up being considered by others as living with disabilities (I never thought that about myself) I can almost guarantee you all he cared about was being given a chance and being able to do what he loved. The notoriety and all weren't needed. Whoever gave him his first chance is a story that needs to be told if it hasn't been already.
I'm 60 years old and I remember each and every person who gave me that chance to prove myself without judging me by appearance only.
Just as you never forget the ones that blatantly turned you away simply based on what they perceived vs actually seeing for themselves.
I always felt sorry for them as they were the ones missing out :-)
His story being removed from the school for those reasons was ridiculous. Let the students decide that for themselves.
Most so-called able-bodied people never make it to the big leagues.
I and many like us like to say, Be an inspiration, not a victim. He was an inspiration for sure and great to watch.
Saved this last one till today. Couldn't let go. You guys do a fantastic job! Time to watch the 90's
I absolutely love your videos! I can't wait for the next timeline season!!!
Absolutely loved this series! I was born in '81 and this decade defined childhood for me. It was wonderful going down memory lane.
Oct. 17, 1989, I was shopping with my 3 year old in an older part of Oakland, we were looking for a fake moustache for his Charlie Chaplin costume, when I felt the floor vibrate, I could see my son jumping and bouncing and I said to him, "If you don't stop that jumping, you're going to shake this whole place down around our ears!"
At that point, the first jolt hit, I grabbed my son and started running for the doorway, the lights were swinging into the ceiling and glass rained on us, while items on the shelves were being pitched at us when I noticed that the door was entirely made of art deco era glass. I threw my son under the cashier's counter instead. I looked out the window and I could see the pavement rising and falling like waves on the ocean.
When it ended, I went home to find that the chimney had twisted sideways above the roof.
Later when my husband got home, we got ropes and pulled it down fearing an aftershock would launch it into the house.
A few weeks later my 3 year old asked how the chimney got broken, I told him it was the earthquake. He said to me, "You mean the earthquake happened here too?"
A few days after this I heard my son sobbing hysterically, when I went to find out what was wrong, he said, "I didn't mean to do it!"
When I asked, "what did you do?" his response broke my heart, "I started the earthquake! I got all those people dead!"
It took hours of talking to him to make him understand that a 3 year old, weighing 45 pounds, could not start an earthquake!
All because right before it hit, I'd said to him, "You're going to shake this place down around our ears"
This TH-camr should of liked your comments! Was nice u talked to your son a lot of parents didn’t back in the 80s
@@sda-clips thank you
Bluebelle51, Thank you for sharing your incredible story. I can only imagine the fear you, and everyone else who was there, experienced when your world started shaking itself apart like that. We experience no such events here in Ireland. And as someone else said above, it's nice that you took the time and patience to calm your son the way you did, back then many parents would have gone down the, "Don't be so stupid, how could it be your fault?" path, and left it at that. Obviously you were a good mother. I do hope your (now 34 year old?) son got through his blaming himself for the earthquake😊! What a thing to blame yourself for!! And I also hope your house got repaired promptly.
Thank you for this. I wasn't born yet, but my mom was in West Oakland waiting for the World Series to start when it all happened. She was also right in the middle of the massive Oakland Hills fire that happened two years later while pregnant with me.
The Bay has been through a lot.
@@chicagoakland I went through the 91 fire as well
I went to my church and found they were evacuating people from the hills to their parking lot when a helicopter came over with the PA on saying, "the fire is on the ridge, you must leave this area immediately"
Since I had a huge station wagon, we loaded about 10 people into my car and I took them to my house and left them in the yard while I went back to get more, but a block before I got to the church, the police had the area closed to incoming traffic, so I had to turn back
Everything sounds so important with this guy's voice! I'm enjoying this series immensely.
NOOOO!!!!
Now it's time for 1980....part 2!
1981.....part 2.....etc.....
GAWDAMN. I LOVE THESE!
Don't ever get rid of the narrator.
His voice, total icing on the cake.
The whole Central Park 5 case makes me sad
I wonder what was going through their mind when trump was running for president seeing as how he publicly stated they should die
Hannah Ganske just sad. That man hasn’t changed one bit. So much hate.
@@StephanieeAlexandra you can’t say he’s wrong about them deserving death when one confessed to the crime...
Sad to see guilty people set free and payed millions?
@@mafowler273 None of the 5 men who he said “deserve to die” confessed to the crime/Committed the crime. It was a different person all together (Matias Reyes) that committed and later (in 2001)confessed to the crime.
Oh man, this was and is such an epic series and I want to say thank you so much, I loved every moment of it. I was born in 84 so a lot of the list I can remember and wow did it bring a whole lot of memories, so thanks for that also. I am really looking forward to the 90s, it’s gonna be just as epic, I can’t wait. Lastly, please, please do the special edition you mentioned. I feel it would go over just as well as everything you already did.
Thanks so much for everything, the great content, everyone who worked on this, their time, energy, effort, and care to put forth the work to make this series so accurate and come across in a way that just made me and I’m assuming everyone else, wanting to come back every weekend after watch the great weekday videos to catch the epic following years episode.
So again, thank you guys, everyone who made this happen. Take care, stay safe, and peace until next time.
Ah 1989, the year of the greatest batman movie in history.
Mask of the Phantasm was better.
Michael Keaton is the best batman
Great series and a new fan of the channel, it was a pleasure to go back into time and can't wait for the next one. I'm a 80s baby, but raised in the 90s. 7/4/1989
Same here .love the trip down history Lane. 4/11/89
You're only a day younger than my best friend haha, he was 7/3/1989. My day is 9/6/1989
There was still so many things missing that were part of the 80's.
This has quickly become of my favorite subscriptions, love what you guy do, keep it up!
Thank you so much for doing this series. I laughed, I cried. But, most importantly, i remembered the best years of my life. Hopefully i will carry these precious memories till the end of my days...
The 50's would be interesting.
Yes
60s would be better because if the beatles
50’s would be a challenge not as much footage available
Boring ass decade.
@@hennylo68 Nah.
...i love these Timeline episodes. such a nostalgic trip, it makes an old man cry. thank you for this,
Good job guys . can't stop watching your videos
BEST SERIES!!! Please do the 60s, 70s and 90s! I feel like you guys do interesting and important highlights!
I love the 80's. It was a great time to be a kid. The music was the best. Thanks.
I'm not American, but this is an extremely fun to watch series, since many aspects of that culture were exported overseas and were an integral part of my childhood. The only thing I think I won't ever be able to understand is the American fascination with baseball. Thank you and keep up the great work, WH!
*Thank you so much for your weekly videos!! I always look forward to your HIGH QUALITY videos and editing!!*
Day 2 of asking when the next series of Timeline is going to come out. (Hoping it’s going to be 2000-2010)
I just finished, binge watching your series! A super trip, down memory lane! Thank you!
This was such a great series and I looked forward to watching them every Monday. I can’t wait for the 90’s👍
The MLB commissioner being the dad of Paul Giamatti is the greatest twist.
I never knew that. Interesting!
You gotta wait 'til 2020 closes out to make a proper timeline.
I'm pretty sure that was implied.
I am wondering how interesting the 2010s actually were. I don't remember anything anymore.
2000's = weak
2010's = trash
2020's = trash ( so far ).
It was all over after the end of the 90's.
lol the American Gladiators TV show clips made me lol. Pop culture was so fun in the 80s-90s
i really enjoyed the timeline videos and i enjoy your channel. i like the fact that you kept the series interesting and almost impossible to not watch the full video. im sure the 90s edition will be just as entertaining. as far as decades go, while all the decades of the 20th century were important in there own way and the 1970s , 80s and 90s are often in the spotlight for not only their importance, but also the roles they played in society, fashion, music and television, i think that maybe the 1910s 20s or 30s would make for a interesting series. aside from the depression or womens right to vote, there are alot of really neat and inspiring things that occurred.
I'm gonna go and rewatch the entire decade. This was such a well made and informative series. Thanks 👍
Such a legendary decade, you wish it would just go on.
Timeline 2020: 30 minutes of non-stop footage of a on fire dumpster with 2020 written on the side in human excrement and a loop track of wordless screaming.
It least you could have put "spoiler alert" in the header.
And don't forget the great covid scare of 2020! 🙄
Was it really that good?
More like an outhouse on fire. An outhouse full of murder hornets.
Always loved your videos but this is my fav!!! The year I was born I always wanted this!
I love Weird History documentaries.
I like how the title graphic reflected the time.
Gonna miss the 80's from next episode... keep em coming ... thanks
Black Rain, Back to the future 2, The Abyss, The Little Mermaid
Forrest Gump Johnny handsome
Berlin Wall, Tianamen
@@THEBANDIT7979 Forrest Gump was released in '94.
BTTF2 Also mentioned as in the first movie. everything is mostly based on First occurrence
@RYLE SALUNGA Oops! 🤦♂️
Brilliant video! I love the eighties! Music, movies and life was spectacular!😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍
I swear to you I have never watched anything more enjoyable than this. I watched the “91 one and I’ve never wanted anything more than to learn of This culture shock. Incredible dawg. Love your work. Jesus. Meant. For. You. To. Do. This. It is incredible what you do for a living. Take it all in. Your fulfillment is more than words can explain. May god be with you and with your spirit.
YES! This was awesome!! I was 14 in Washington in 1989 and I am blown away that Ken Griffey, jr was only 19!!! I am not a sports fan but hey, there wasn’t much to watch those days and I was aware of the world, things just look so different when you look back decades later. Holy crap. Thank you for this. 1989 was the last “good year”, in my humble opinion anyway.
This series is amazing! Please do the 90s or 70s next! The 90s would be awesome, but then after that you'd have to go to the 2000s, and I'd think more people would be interested in seeing a timeline on the '70s than one from 2000 to 2010, but maybe I'm wrong.
Great series and show, very nicely executed! Thank you :) Minor note: Gretzky scored his 1851st point in that game, not goal. In his entire career, he scored 894 goals (regular season).
Looking forward to the next series :)
I grew up in the 80s and you still had stuff i dont remember, well done, thankyou
cant get enough of these
This is a masterful series. Voice overs great info amazing and entertaining. Bravo 👏🏽👍🏽💯
This is the best thing to ever happen in TH-cam I’m loving it
The timeline music jingle is SO COOL so 80’s omg I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I sure watch from 1980 to 1989 all over again thank you so much for doing it
This is one of the best series on youtube rn
A few highlights I remember: BATMAN with Michael Keaton (Jack Nicholson as The Joker), "Electric Youth" by Debbie Gibson, "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel, earthquake at Candlestick Park during World Series, Lucille Ball and Bette Davis both died.
Looking forward to seeing the '90s next

Love these videos. Are you gonna do the 90s? The 70s?
Dude lets talk about this channel's intro song, it's really refreshing and satisfying to hear that beat come out at the beginning.
