Same.
Do you remember..
3 Ninjas?
Free Willy 1 AND the MJ song that came with it?
Power Rangers (original!) and the VR Troopers rip-off?
Gargoyles?
Darkwing Duck?
Pete & Pete?
Who's afraid of the Dark?
Legends of the Forbidden Temple?
These are more early 90's come to think of it, but oh so fond of memories...
I was born in 88 too >> yikes! I'm behind da times!
Alphalpha XD AYeyeyeyeyeye!!!! XD AND GORDON! XD I saw the bloody Power Rangers LIVE at the OLD Hershey Theater XD

1. Never saw it.
2. Totally.
3. YES!
4. Yup.
5. Of course!
6. Loved it, never understood it though.
7. It was "Are you Afraid of the Dark?," and yes, that show ruled and I'd kill for a DVD set or new episodes with such originality.
8. YES! GREEN MONKIES FOR THE WIN! I always wanted to be on that show. Everyone just seemed so retarded when they actually got into the temple.
11: I remember the tune, I don't remember the words. I don't think I ever knew some of them, since they were sung so unclearly.
12: Yes. See above.
26: Who hasn't?
28: Very briefly, though it was probably a resurgence.
40: Exactly once. No, it wasn't mine.
49: *hides face in shame*. I'd forgotten about that one. The part I could never figure out is how it's possible to "stare" with your stomach rather than your eyes.
Nothing else.
How can an 80's list leave out Transformers and Voltron!? IT'S A CRIME I TELL YOU!

im a child of '85 and i remember :
so yeah.
awesome list lol
some good memories there.
although, didnt you leave out thundercats? nothing about them <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> (they could have been later)
and omg, Slater was the coolest. followed by screech. and mr belding is pr0.
Omg that was sooo true. Whatever happend to Saturday mornings?? *sniff*
Oh and pete and pete rocked!!! XD
Ok... so a lot of the list is sorta girly maybe (you sure you didn't sneak a peek of jem, my lil pony or rainbow brite when they were on TV? ^~ ) but there's still stuff for the guys in there; I saw plenty boys with the wheel clackers for example :D
Hahahahahahaha.
A more appropriate title would be "If you we're BORN in the 80's", since then you'd remember all the late 80's/early 90's stuff that comes up here.
That said, i'm also a 1985er. I remember about 50% of the original list, and ALL of Javert's list.
You remember the last episode of Cheers
You remember the last episode of MASH
You remember the last episode of Johhny Carson (92/93?)
We had Saturday morning cartoons, and there still ar Saturday morning cartoons.. they're just in the form of some stupidity on Nickelodeon or WB.
I'll just crawl over here and die of shame, okay?
Thundercats were the best though......tunder.....Thunder.....THUNDERCATS!
Fat Albert was cool too.
Cheers was cool, also when Woody Harrelson was in it.
Was Back To The Future mentioned?
Gleaming The Cube? Best skate movie ever....*cough*
Mad Max? Oh man...
EDIT
And how could i forget.... POLICE ACADEMY!
Revenge Of The Nerds!
The list just goes on.....

You know if you were born in the 80's if..
<b>YOU WERE BORN BETWEEN 1980 AND 1989</b>
HOOOOOOOO!
Yeah, now I feel even worse.
However, I do and can say I am 99% of that list.
