Suzanne Somers Lifesavers commercial

The Love Boat theme. Lots of sitcoms had great theme songs.

While You See a Chance

Best Instrumental TV theme song ever

Sailing - Christopher Cross

Looking at that 8 is Enough opening. The actresses who played the sister Joanie and Mary looked like 40 year old women, today they would be cast as the mother.

The Snow Queen

When I came out at college....

"I am made of blue sky and golden light and I will feel this way forever"

The far future of 1980.

This will always remind me of sleepovers at my grandmother's house.

Oh R14 that gives me such a flashback to childhood, listening to it in bed while my parents watched TV downstairs. It always struck me as so odd as a kid, that woman moaning and wailing.

Inexplicably I was afraid of this, but my dad always watched even in syndication.

Eight is Enough theme song in season 2 was good melancholy

Not a video, but ABBA’s second Greatest Hits Lp takes me back to like 1981 like nothing else. I remember the day we bought it, we went to the fishmonger’s, it was rainy, & my sister & I did hook rugs in the living room while listening to it. The first song was Gimme Gimme Gimme & I thought it was kind of a creepy sounding intro for such a poppy group.

Scott McKenzie and San Francisco.

Does it for me every time. Where's it all gone?

You're going to make it after all

Red House Painters "Have You Forgotten"

Thursday nights in the 80s

Dogs and Dick Van Patten on the ground with his legs in the air at :32 in the season five intro resonated with me as a kid

Anything about the early days of MTV

Top this

There are a surprising amount of youtube videos visiting the "Top That" filming location.

It makes me nostalgic because I used to live down the street and it was my favorite place to live

Brooke Shields' Calvin Klein commercials. I was 15 in Flyoverland, and they seemed so New York decadent. I felt I could model my way to Europe (even though I was a pudgy-pimply gay boy).
