"What were the 80s? . . . Bueller? . . . Anyone? Well, you are truly a child of the 80s if any of the following statements are true for you"

"1984 is.more than meets the eye: Transformers, The Terminator, Day-Glo and Glo worms. It is Mary Lou Retton on the Wheaties box. The year when Bruce Springsteen pulled a teenage Courtney Cox from the audience and thrust her into mainstream stardom. Whether it was Michael Jackson's hair catching fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial, or Ralph Macchio learning Karate by washing cars, 1984 has provided us with enough 80's nostalgia to fill a week of programming. But, I Love the 80's.1984 will do it in one irreverent hour!"
