80's Music
Old 80's TV shows and Movies
Bazookas
Now * Laters


I just went to search all the good TV shows on Demand that I used to watch when I was little; and was so excited to see they still air; so now I DVR them. Such a great feeling when watching them.

I added:

Too close for Comfort
Three's Company
Good Times
Sanford & Son
Whats Happening
The Smurfs

My mom got a new bike and I was just trying it out this morning. I was saying to my sister how much it reminded me of our childhood to ride a bike up and down my parents' street. So funny to come home and see this post after that!

Music for sure....when I'm scanning through Sirius now and hear a song from the 70's/80's I'm thrown right back into specific moments and events from my childhood.
