Happy Face 29 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Red Dwarf, Nirvana etc. They never represent the 80's. Both at their peak in the 90's. You could include the Simpsons and Seinfeld if you just look at when they were conceived. Edited September 18, 2008 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3788 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Like all decades there is bad and good. No decade is any better than any other really perceptions just change. But the 80's 2 Seasons of missing 3 matches all season home and away. First sexual encounters The smiths the cure the cult the housemartins et al. Blackadder Saturday morning cartoons Holiday TV. The miners strike Thatcher the IRA. The Badder meinhof gang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could include the Simpsons and Seinfeld if you just look at when they were conceived. Both were started and going well in the mid/late-80's. Just because they weren't as fashionable as they were later doesn't matter. You might as well say that combats weren't invented until after 2000.
