Each installment Mike will look back to the decade of decadence and provide a list of eight things – from movies to music to memorable moments and everything in-between. Keep in mind, this isn’t a TOP 8 list and any numerical notations are included to merely designate one item from another. Because, frankly, how can you rate one thing over another when it comes from a decade as totally tubular as the 80s?
Saturday Morning Cartoons
While it was no 1970s, the 80s had its fair share of memorable cartoons. And, unlike today when you can just turn to a specific channel dedicated to cartoons, we had to wait until Saturday mornings. Sure, there was syndicated stuff during the week like old Bugs Bunny, The Flintstones and what not – but if you wanted the good stuff, it was once a week. Here’s eight cartoons that were worth waiting seven days for.
8- Mr. T
I never liked Mr. T much. He was the bad guy in Rocky III and he was Roddy Piper’s opponent and friend to Hulk Hogan around the time of the original Wrestlemania. But he had a cartoon for a few years and a lot of fans, so he was a part of the pop culture zeitgeist in the 80s and gets a spot here.
