Default I Love the 80's Strikes Back

Ohmigod it took all of my willpower to turn this show off. I stumbled across it by accident and got sucked into watching like 5 episodes! For all you Gen X'ers out there, this show will really strike a chord. So many memories...*sigh* Anyone else been catching these?

you know, the 80's were responsible for the demise of the U.S.S.R.

yeah, my wife and I have been watching it 2 nights straight! Good lord, I can't believe I did the "fashionable" things back then! I had a "tail" in my hair style (for while even sported a mullet style hair - think about it: an Asian teenager with a freakin' mullet head!), purposely bought extra long pants to roll them up (forgot what that's called), and ALWAYS had a freakin' comb in my back pocket. Talk about weird ass stuff! My wife grew up in Taiwan so she had no idea why I laughed so hard about some of the things and comments, but those of you who went through the 80s as a teenager, you know what I'm talkin' about!

Good times people, good times and good/bad memories

"...now we know"

"And knowing is half the battle! GI Joe!" buwahahahaha

Is this the show that is the next series for "that 70's show?"
If it is, is it different from the last attempt they had with it? That first attempt was pretty boring.
