I quite enjoyed the echos that you guys mentioned before I listened to this. Lamar sounds like he could be a Leader-1 voice actor with that echo. 😉

My most favorite television that came out of 1986: ALF, Double Dare, Dennis the Menace (cartoon), The Flintstone Kids, The NEW Hollywood Squares with JOOOOOHNNNNNN Davidson, Peewee’s Playhouse, Perfect Strangers, Popples, The REAL Ghostbusters, SilverHawks, and WWE Wrestling Challenge. Not much changed. I love my cartoons, cheesy sitcoms, game shows, and wrestling.

Favorite 1986 movies: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Flight of the Navigator, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (my favorite Friday), Heathcliff: The Movie, Labyrinth, Little Shop of Horrors, My Little Pony: The Movie (smooooze!), Platoon, Pretty in Pink, Stand By Me, Top Gun, Transformers: The Movie, etc. Basically throw a “The Movie” after whatever cartoons I watched. You guys got a few years on me in age so I didn’t grow to love some of these right away in the theatre and ended up loving them a few years later.

Favorite 1986 music/albums = too many to list. This was when most music was awesome and very listenable all day long.

Great stuff, keep the years of the greatest decade of entertainment coming!
