My formative years were in the 80's being born in 1973. Its easy to become nostalgic. At the same time if I'm driving around and my car breaks down its nice to have a cell phone instead of hoofing it to the nearest phone booth like my parents would've had to.

Couldn't you just use the Phone Booth to travel in time to make sure your car didn't break down though?
Riker hadn't grown the beard yet, Tasha leaned on tactical and Worf lurked behind her, glowering a lot. Troi's only purpose was to state the obvious and wear low-cut dresses, while everyone else wore one-piece uniforms a size too small. Data trotted out his thesaurus when anyone said anything and Wesley was just an annoying wunderkid. Geordi still wore red and flew the ship while they went through a succession of one-episode chief engineers.
Oh how I hate season 1 TNG :-( so frustrating watching TNG with my other friends who just have never watched Star Trek. I fail so many times trying to explain to them that it gets SOO much better around mid-season 2 after Q introduces the Borg and The Romulans decloak and announce "We, are back"
But I digress, Im only a fake 80s kid. I was born in 1989. When Bryan Adams was number 1, when the Berlin Wall came down and before Axl Rose started to ake people wish they'd never been born
And who can forget the deep, nuanced plots - like "Drugs Are Bad", "Capital Punishment is Bad", "War Profiteers are Bad", and "Sexism is Bad, Especially When Women Are In Charge"? Also, it is important to emphasize at every point that Humanity is Totally Awesome now, usually by being very smug about it to less perfect and enlightened countries, I mean, species.
Now me, I was born in 1970, so it all lines up very neatly: the 70s were my childhood and the 80s were my teen years, and thus in many ways still my favorite decade. (Though the 90s had many good things also.)
I had some punk who grew up in the '90s tell me that the music from the '80s was the worst ever. I had to bodyslam him hard, like that fat kid bodyslamming the bully.
This thread is a lie, nobody was alive in the 80's except the dinosaurs and we all know how that story ended...
Ironically enough, it was the custom on some of the text-based multi-player games of the early 90s to refer to long-time players as "dinos" (or "Tiny Dinos", referencing the game type/engine). And of late, I do feel very much like a dinosaur sometimes, looking around at all of you impertinent rodents scampering underfoot.

... Peter Davison was The Doctor and we had Transformers. Not those CG **** 'splosions Michael Bay gives us now
It was a simpler time
I'm a 91'er.
Is this a bad time to mention I graduated High School in '91?
Kidding, of course. My dad turns 71 this year.
ROFLMFAO! Nice one MG!
I feel the same way about Transformers. I gave the first Bay film a shot and that was a terrible idea :mad:
I graduated high school in `99 :cool:
Couldn't you just use the Phone Booth to travel in time to make sure your car didn't break down though?
The only way he could do that is if he was a companion of the Doctor
same, lol.........
"When Eminem was just a snack...and Michael Jackson was still black"

Hey, I graduated in 1981.:eek:
So you really remember shows like The Greatest American Hero, A-Team, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, The Fall Guy, MacGuyver, Airwolf, and the like...
"I know. This is heavy!"
I remember those shows and I graduated in '92.
Ask me about television in the mid to late 90s and I'd probably have no clue.
Oh yeah, I remember all of those shows.:D
Solar flare?
I graduated in 93 and I watched all of those shows.
Ahh....Back when TV was still good...and the only "Reality" shows on TV were sports...
Born in 74..>Graduated in 92....
TV turned to TRIBBLE to me in the 90s...
*Slams his proportionately small claw on the desk. His mighty tale swishes, knocking over a book shelf.*
The word is out! DINOSAURIANS! ASSEMBLE!!
*Lets out a mighty roar.*
I remeber my pet velociraptor if you think a pit-bull is a tough animal; try feeding a veliciraptor. Stupid thing got out and it was hit by a car.
