1981: An interesting year in review. Silly but in a good way.

8.8

By KevinPlanet, Oct 26, 2005

Tonight's episode of "I Love The 80s" was a very funny and interesting one. It's great that the team behind the show can find so many intricate things that if never been alive during the 80s can find. The show reveals such things as the erasable pen, Rambo, and a movie featuring Julie Andrews dressing in drag. These things I had never thought existed (I knew about Rambo, and the erasable pen) and I was interested in finding out about them. There was a pill scare in 1981 where someone replaced the pills with poison, another thing I'd never read about. This show gets interesting each episode and the comedians, the singers, and the actors do a good job at telling their part of the year.moreless
