Although Skating and BMX really started in the 70's, they rose in popularity in the 80's. Anyone remember Rad, Thrashin' or Gleaming The Cube? Who could forget the wonderful color of bikes back then?
I had originally mentioned "Gator" Rogowski in my list, but what I wanted to mention him for didn't happen until the 90s. I'm pretty sure I could put a reference to BMX/skating in the later parts of my list, presuming they were not covered on either of the first two "I Love The 80s".
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...
I still need to know what year to put in the "crotch rocket"/"ninja" sportsbikes.
I was on an 80s website, and in discussing the foods of the decade, somebody mentioned the Bavarian Waffle Cone, an ice cream cone they say is as sweet as the ice cream.
If I were to include that, what year would it fit into?
Ninja bikes added to 1984, "It's Garry Shandling's Show" added to 1989, and Rick James deleted from the commentators list due to the unfortunate circumstances of his death.
Keep the feedback coming.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...
I still need to know where Bavarian Waffle Cones would fit in, if they would.
I added Jillian Barbiere to the returning commentators list, Allyce Beasley of "Moonlighting" to the new commentators list and The Human League to 1982.
I still need assistance on placement of the several items previously mentioned, and also I need to be reminded...Did they cover Hagen-Dazs ice cream on either of the first two "I Love The 80s"? That could go well with the Bavarian Waffle Cone.
I put Frankie Goes To Hollywood in the 1984 list, I believe...
I know that "Relax" was used as the closing credits song for the 1984 episode of the first "I Love The 80s", but I really think it should've been discussed. Henceforth, Frankie Goes To Hollywood is on my list.
I updated the lists a little more and also have to note something...
A suggestion was made earlier to include Air Jordans on the list. They were discussed on "I Love The 80s Strikes Back" in the 1986 episode. I still have to watch all the episodes again to see if they discuss the Adidas suits.
