Ahhhh, good ol' sit n spin. :)

Do they still make that?

Yes....my son received one for Christmas. It plays music as you spin. :D

Remember those old Barbie houses that had the furniture painted on the background and the elevator only worked when you pulled the string.

How many of you had a Glo worm? I had 2 of them.......loved those too!

Are you referring to The Letter People?

If so, I remember watching it as a kid on public TV on sick days/holidays after the game shows went off.

And yes, it was just an Ohio thing (produced by the Ohio Department of Education).

Speaking of the 80s, did anyone else spend their days off from school watching educational programming on TV? The majority was produced by the Agency for Instructional TV/Technology (AIT)

The shows I liked were:

Wordsmith
Write On
Well, Well, Well (w/Slim Goodbody)
Roomnastics
Studio M (produced by the Ohio Dept. of Education)
It Happened Here (another ODE show)
I Need to Read (ODE) To this day I still sing the theme song.
It Figures
Turnabout (loved the psychedelic opening and theme song)
Inside Out

Just to name a few...

Yeah I meant the Letter People. I loved that show.

I used to watch 321 Contact and Reading Rainbow on my off days.

Wow! This thread took me back! I had a Smurfette party when I turned 10! I owned the Barbie remote control car....man. The 80's were off the chain!

Okay, I haven't posted out here in a long time, but I COULDN'T pass this one up...

Ahh...the 80's...

Popples!!!

1. 21 Jump Street-When Johnny Depp still looked good!
2. Degrassi High- The original one that used to come on PSB.
3. 80's Hip Hop- No hoes and guns (or at least very little).
4. Cherelle/Pebbles/Tina Marie-Still my favorite female singers
5. She's Gotta Have It- the first Spike Lee joint!
6. The Jackson 5 cartoon-did this come out in the 80's??? Don't think so, maybe they were just repeats, but I loved that cartoon.
7. Crappy, low-budget music videos-Michael Jackson "Rock With You". . .but at least he was still cute in that one.
8. Speaking of Micheal, pleather pants and pleather red jackets like the one he wore in "Beat It":p
9. Oh, I almost forgot. . .Garbage Pail Kids!!!!!!! My mom hated the one with the booty face. hehehehehehehehehe:D

Okay, I have gone way back when you said GEM!!! I had all her dolls and dressed up like her for halloween. I was the first BLACK GEM!!! Well at least in the bronx.

And I do remember those hats. My aunt still has mine with my name on it.

Am I crazy?
 

Does anyone else remember Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, or am I just making it up? :confused:

Re: Am I crazy?
 

I remember them, I had them all ! You're not alone.:D

Good! I'm not crazy then. I had all of them too and my mother just hated them. She thought they were sick, but she bought them for me anyway since they were so popular and all of my friends had them. Needless to say, once the booty faced girl (or guy, i can't remember) came out, she stopped buying them.:D

My brother loved them. I remember he had the Shoprits toy truck and plastered all on top of them. And hid the rest inside with his GI Joes. I think my mom stopped buying them when the Garbage Pail movie came out. And the little sexual play was done. ( the crossed her nipple in front of a "twelve" year old actor.) Needless to say, I was happy with my cabbage patches and my little pony.

Steve Harvey had me reminiscing this morning on 2 things:

play clothes

and denim iron on patches (when you got a hole in your jeans, knees for me, and mom would get a patch and iron that mug right on, somewhat good as new, lol)
