Bring back the 80's

I grew up in the 80's and early 90's. Now that I have children, I see how different things are than they were when I was their age. Television shows are nothing like they used to be. It's sad that a child cannot watch family sitcoms at night because there are no more family sitcoms. Most shows now are full of filthy language, sexual content and violence.
About a year ago I was at Target and saw a Rainbrow Brite DVD and of course I had to buy it! I could not believe they were even selling it. We always watch movies on the way to the beach so I decided to pop that one in and see what Andrew thought. Derek of course had a fit because it was Rainbow Brite :)
How many of you remember all the awesome cartoons, TV shows, movies, commercials, and toys from that time? I love to remember that time period. It takes me back to when I was a kid with not a worry in the world.  I'm going to list some of my favs and I want you to comment and list some of yours or even post on your own blog.
