I used to watch Dangermouse on Nickelodeon, back when it was a cool network.

I feel like the 80's were an AWESOME time to be a kid (I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything), but not so much if you were an adult (because of the shit economy).

80's music gives me life. I love all the synths used in so many of the songs. Also, just go watch any of the music videos, they're great.

What are you talking about? Most people on it were like in there 40's or 50's

Ian Michael Black, Hal Sparks, Sammy Hagar, Cuba Gooding Jr, Kim Fields, Richie Sambora and others

Looking at some peoples' ages and whatnot, it appears you are right. I must be confusing this show with I Love the 70s, which had many of the same people on it pretending they were actualized human beings when bell bottoms and hula hoops were a thing, when in fact they hadn't made it though kindergarten yet. 

If you were born in 1971 your opinion of E.T. or Rainbow Bright may be valid, your opinion of Jimmy Carter's presidency however...not as much. Watching people make fun of the Ford Pinto when they'd never driven one, the 8 track cassette when they've never listened to one, political candidates they were young to vote for/against, etc. There was very little white hair on these shows, just like the rest of T.V. Not everyone in 1984 spent their days playing with GI Joes. I did, sure, but there was also Apartheid, the explosion of pornography on VHS, and Reaganimics. I didn't know anything about that shit.

I was born in 1973 and I remember all sorts of cool things from my childhood, but that's just it: child-hood. My opinions of politics, music, war, economics, sex scandles, Bloom County, AIDS, televangelists, etc weren't really worth a shit until at least 1990.

I watched I Love the 80s when it came out on VH1 years ago and enjoyed it. I grew up during the 80s so that period of time has a very special place in my heart. The music, movies, TV shows, toys, and everything were great. 80s music is the soundtrack to my life. Although there are always terrible things going on in the world, it seems like the 80s had a more positive vibe, like anything was possible. Not so much anymore.

I remember being obsessed with Dangermouse when I was a kid.  I haven't checked it out since it popped up on Netflix though.  Saw a little bit of Count Duckula, too, but I don't think I liked it as much.  My other 80's cartoon obessions were Adventures of the Little Koala, Gobots, Bionic Six, Mighty Orbots, Galaxy High School, Silverhawks... I probably watched a ton of other stuff that's not ringing any bells right now and I also watched and liked the obvious hits like He-Man, Thundercats, and GI Joe.  Had a sister so She-ra wasn't left out, either.

Yup, me too.  Those shows were 2 of my fav's growing up.  I got entire series of Danger Mouse on DVD, & Season 1 of Duckula.  They never did more Duckula DVD's(in the US at least) so I assume they sold poorly.

They played Karate Champ by Data East. Strangely enough, Karate Champ came out in 1984 while the Kumite portrayed in the movie supposedly took place in 1975. The whole Frank Dux story about the Kumite is said to be complete bullshit but it's still a great movie. Very good, but brick not hit back!!
