Ick! I HATE Married With Children! I used to watch it, but that was before I knew any better. When I moved in with my dad, he would not let me watch that program.
I looooove Happy Days, though
I never really considered that an '80s show, though, since it started in the '70s, but some eps did run in the '80s.
Anyone remember Small Wonder?

Unsolved Mysteries
That theme song, to this day, scares the CRAP out of me
. I change the channel every time I hear it's on.

Ironically, I used to
hate
the Muppets until I saw Muppet Christmas Carol. When I was little, my definition of 'Muppets' was 'Muppet Babies' and I hated that show with a passion.
Somehow, I never made the connection that Sesame Street was also Muppets.

Oh the Muppets! I used to watch "Fraggle Rock" all the time and we recently saw the first season on DVD. Jim Henson is a pure good.

I still have my My Little Ponies. My mother bought them for me when I was little when she found them on clearance because she thought they were cute. I never watched the cartoon, though.
Ah, Inspector Gadget... I never managed to watch that until fairly recently, and even then, only a few episodes. It's a bit nerve-grating, but the character themes from Inspecteur Gadget are awesome.

I used to watch Inspector Gadget like every day. I made fun of him a lot, though. I also watched Pee Wee's Play House. I have to remember to turn on the TV when it comes on, so I know what the secret word is. That way, when my husband says it, I can scream and he'll be all, "You're weird."

On Adult Swim, they're playing "Peewee's Playhouse" and I've been watching it alot lately. Why can't more kid's shows be like this?

I used to watch the Care Bears and My Little Pony. I remember that I had a ton of the My Little Pony Toys and one Care Bear.
But my favorites were Garfield and Friends and Inspector Gadget. Maybe I should get those on DVD...

I have a Care Bears movie, too. Care Bears in Wonderland, I think...
When my sister, our friends and I would play Barbies, we always portrayed Maxie as Barbie's rival. We didn't have any Maxie dolls, but we pretended she was there.
I used to have Rocker Barbie (Barbie & the Rockers) but I never owned a Jem until I got older. They used to play a Christmas episode of Barbie & the Rockers every year.
I think I have The Care Bears in Wonderland floating around someplace.
Oh, I also have a Star Fairies video. I even used to have some Star Fairies. I think all they made was that one movie, but their whole concept was just awesome, and fit right in with Rainbow Brite and Care Bears.

OMG,I have Punky Brewster's christmas special on tape, along with a few episodes of the animated series
.
They have that on DVD now, and it's the live action show along with the cartoon eps. I actually had only seen the cartoon while it was on, and one of the live episodes, but my best friend has the series on DVD, so I watched a lot of that at her house and was sort of hooked.

Yeah. The rainbows sparkled, too. I have all the episodes, but they are on different tapes and not all together. I also have (I think) all the Rainbow Brite songs on a CD I burned.
Quote:
I liked the Smurfs more than I liked the Snorkles.
It's Snorks, but yeah. The Smurfs are better. It's funny to hear them say, "Smurf this" and "Smurf that," or "Brainy! Smurf up!"
I have this love & hate thing going for Brainy. One time, on a Yahoo! mailing group, this person was getting all Brainy Smurf on everybody, and I added the words and phrases necessary to make it a Brainy Smurf speech, and was fixing to send it back to the group, but I didn't want to start a flame war, so I refrained from such a malicious action. (If I remember correctly, my friend and I got a good laugh out of it, though.)
I also like Grouchy Smurf, because it's funny to hear him say "I hate [whatever you just said]" (I have an odd sense of humour.)

I had a gazillion My Little Ponies, but now I have like 5.
A My Little Pony is the first thing my husband ever gave to me. It's purple with pink, blue and white hair. (I thought he had given that one to me, because those are my favourite colours, but he gave it to me because the other one he had had neon green hair, and he wanted to send some variety, because I had also bought a Pizzazz doll from him at the time.) I have a whole box full of MLPs around somewhere, and a whole box of fashion dolls (those are just the ones I decided to keep.) under my bed. Of course, there's Jem dolls, but there's also some Barbies, a couple of the Saved by the Bell dolls, and a few Maxie dolls. (Maxie came right after Jem, but apparently wasn't as much of a hit.)
Quote:
I have a few things of Carebears recorded, too.
I just recently bought a Cheer Bear that came with a DVD. That particular series didn't focus on all the Care Bears like the other series. I have some eps of that one though, too. I also have the first Care Bears movie on DVD, and would like to get the second one sometime, but I do have them both on VHS.
I'm not obsessed with the 80s or anything.

There's a few things I remember that might be border line 80s/early ninties, so I would have to look a few things up before I said anything else I liked.

Post subject: 80s TV
I was fixing to go on about 80s cartoons in another thread, so I thought I'd start this thread.
So, is there anyone that remembers and still enjoys 80s cartoons?
My favourites are Jem, She-Ra, Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, The Smurfs, Legend of Zelda... Just to name a few.
I've got all 65 episodes of Jem on VHS, and the two DVD boxsets that were released, as well as all thirteen episodes of Zelda, and I just ordered the She-Ra Best of DVD boxset.
As for live action shows...The Facts of Life, Punky Brewster, Mama's Family (I love that show!) ... I could go on there, too, but there were so many good 80s sitcoms.
Anyone else have any favourites?
