Yo! What about My Pet Monster!!
I submit to you: Madballs and Skip-It. And She-Ra who, might I remind everyone, had to save He-Man’s ass that one time. And My Little Pony. Oh, and My Buddy and Kid Sister.
My brain is soft now from all this nostalgia.
…and Double Dare.
@pikapikachick
Awesome thanks, i’ll make the recommended additions.
double dare is already on there.
nice memory with madballs and my buddy…
Your missing “Back to the Future”.
back to the future is on there… the old movie poster.
The Simpsons on the Tracy Ullman show

Groovy Goolies, He-man, She-ra, Thundercats, Goonies, Star Blazers, Banana Splits, Sid & Marty Kroft shows (last 2 might be 70′s)
@gardenbee snorks is good. I don’t even know what rose petal place is??

also legend of the hidden temple
Holy shit, this is amazing. I kept thinking of things I thought you would have missed and then I’d scroll down and it would be there. Fantastic, A+.

the GO BoTs, Centurians, Pete & Pete from Nickelodeon, Clarissa Explains It All(another NICK show), Mr. Wizard, Doug, Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers,oh man i miss the 80′z n early 90′z……we had some great stuff(a lot of sugar enduced snacks and cereals LOL)…………..

All of you’s forgot the 2 most “POPULAR” toys of the 80s. The Big Wheel & the Green Machine. Big Wheel & Green Machine all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You forgot SilverHawks.
I was randomly doing some research and I found this after looking up trapper keepers. I was born in 1980 and just wanted to say thanks for this unexpected trip down memory lane. Some things on here, I was like WOW! Like that computer game with the wagon…I haven’t thought of that in ages. Good stuff.
2 others came to mind – Donkey Kong and INDIANA JONES! (spologies if I missed them)
Pogs!
POGs I agree!
And Creepy Crawlers.
Miami Vice ! ! !
Well, not quite all of those things belong to the 80′s, but they’re all winners that’s for sure
Lincoln logs are as old as the hills and the SNES is more of an early 90s thing…but this brought back some good memories for sure
How about Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out! and Game Boy.
Boglins!
MUSCLEs TOO!!!
Wow, nice trip down memory lane! How about the Moncheechees, Number Munchers and The Gummi Bears.
