Cobra Kai did such a FABULOUS FABULOUS JOB every single original actors - every single one no substitutes - itโs outstanding. The one huge thing in notice is on sitcoms today they make kids out as morons - when in the 80โs they made kids way smarter than their years. Iโm not sure what the deal is with that.
I think Psych should probably be added to that list. An underused premise, two friends who grew up together still hanging out, flashbacks to the mid/late 80s and early 90s as the show progressed and all the 80s references - even the obscure ones - you could possibly handle. PLUS, could you think of two better parents for Sean Spencer than Corbin Bernsen and Cybil Sheppard??
Ted Lasso is the only show thatโs ever made me think modern TV can equal what we (I was born in โ79) grew up with. Biggest heart of any series in decades
Born December 1965, so I guess I make the cutoff. Can relate to most of this content and love it. More of a 70's Saturday morning cartoon kid with favorites like Land of the Lost and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, but could relate to some of that video as well.
OMG - I loved all of these shows!
LOVE Freaks and Geeks and Scrubs!!!!
Great listโฆ I was happy you remembered my favorite Archer, but sadly SeaLab 2021 was missed.
Don't Mess with The B was fantastic and cut too short. It is hilarious
I'm in the middle of an Entourage rewatch now!
9:18 Party Down was created by members of Alpha Pie Epsilon and Doane Players (the theater club I was in). I could post about this forever but I will wait until another video.
So let me get this straight....you want me to go to the mall...today?
what about Psych? the references to the 80s throughout the series is fantastic including guest stars from the 80s. Also, I would throw Suits in there too.
I feel like GLOW should be on this list for it's ode to 80's scrappy pro wrestling mayhem
I'm 53 and I will think this forever: JOHNNY LAWRENCE WAS NOT THE BAD GUY!! ๐๐๐๐๐
5:43 You are such a Kansas girl. ๐ Iโve watched a couple of your videos, and they are great. But you talk about basketball and NBA like all gen x females would know the references. Without even knowing you were a Jayhawk, I could deduce you grew up in Kansas or North Carolina, based on your college basketball interest. I was born in 1980 in Texas and because my dad was a sports journalist and die hard fan, I grew up watching all college sports, but fell in love with basketball because of March Madness. I had Grant Hill and Allen Iverson posters on my wall as a teenager, and my friends made fun of me. I was the only girl in my school who knew anything about college hoops let alone the NBA. But I imagine kids in Kansas are different. And as an alum and employee of a school who has to play Bill Self multiple times a season, Iโve spent a lot of time around KU basketball fans. All of my favorite shows were on this list (except New Girl, which is the show with the most references Iโm familiar with). And Being Erica was such a fun show.
33:23 Now how many Gen X sitcoms do you know of have episodes dedicated to Double Dare and Dance Party USA (both Philadelphia treasures)? Hmmm, now that I mentioned it, two more things came to mind: 1) "This is WPHL Channel 17, Phila-DELLLLL-phia." 2) GO BIRDS!!!!!
Psych - all I'm gonna say.
Firefly!!!! Best show ever.
omg - the goldbergs!
