The pop-culture awesomeness of the Best Decade My Generation Ever Knew, summed up in a single mosaic picture:


(found via http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheEighties -- my apologies* if you just clicked. )




* but dammit I got sucked in there during lunchtime, and it makes no sense to not at least take a quick shot at dragging others down with me ;) but seriously, at least via TVT I also found this brilliant satire that will certainly make it impossible for you to NOT laugh the next time you watch a Very Serious News Story on CBC etc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHun58mz3vI ( <-- very similar to -- but even more painfully true than -- The Onion's "Breaking News: Some Bull@%&# Happening Somewhere")

I'm changing my byline to "Dowdy Kitchen Man"

Also that picture sums up pretty much everything hah!

Also also, I recognise the art style, I think I might know the person who made this.

I'm probably crazy. But when ever I saw the thread in the forum list... I couldn't help thinking of "Totally Spies!". It's not even 80s.

Same.

Speaking of which there will be a Season 6 this year. Probably the most successful Franco/Canadian cartoon series ever.

I doubt I've seen more than 2-3 seasons. I got really sick and tired of the way specialty cable tv channels show 12 episodes and repeat them for a year or two.

I hear ya man!

Or when you have a serial and they show the episodes out of order in reruns. That's the kind of crap that pushes me to download land...

Back in the day, I had mythtv setup to record all unique episodes. that's how I managed for the first while, but then you end up being done, and have to wait another year for more.

Having to wait I don't mind as much, it's just when the guide labels things incorrectly or doesn't tag things right and I end up having to prune stuff from my PVR

This isn't a problem with new shows just reruns...

Tom

I just stopped caring so much about tv.

Mr. Analog

Not me, there's so many great series on right now.

I'm just getting into Dexter and Arrested Development, Mad Men is in high gear, there's tons of hockey and baseball, new cartoons are on the way soon (Korra, Futurama, and more!)

Good times, good times...

I don't really have the time for it anymore. But I do have netflix now, and will be watching some of the older shows I've missed. I also spend too much time watching youtube.
