I have spent the last week or so watching China Beach and bawling my eyes out during the back half of season 2. It first aired when I was 5 and I barely remember it aside from the theme and McMurphy's hair, but it's hitting me hard even though I'm not American. Also, I thought Dana Delany was an angel back then, even more so now.

That’s basically all I remember of it as well but I haven’t seen it since it aired; that said, your post makes me think of another Vietnam War drama, Tour of Duty, in which all I remember is the setting (naturally) and the theme (Paint It Black). Now I kinda want to look for video for both shows.

What a great show.

Not gonna lie, I have the disposable income and it’s kinda tempting… I've stumbled onto a very dangerous rabbit hole of badass toys, had no idea Playmobil made this cool poo poo. Amazon has a bunch of the sets, the KITT, A-Team & BTTF ones are really really tempting my inner child...

Ah, Vixen... Their actual videos are even more 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQOmDUnt8Hs Also reminded me of this from the movie Spring Break https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNP1-Tsh42Q The "singer " is a former Penthouse Pet and future ex-wife of Ken Wahl(who is currently married to one of the Barbi Twins and lives with both of them). The band, Hot Date, recorded like 4 songs, all for the movie, then split up and all more or less faded into obscurity. The actual singer is the bass player in the clip.

Electronic battleship was one of those "you're at a rich kid's house" signifiers for me as a kid. Same as an Atari, or toys placed neatly on shelves rather than in a box. Also if they had their own 12 inch CRT TV in their bedroom. "Wow, how are your albums so small? CD? What's that? Lasers!" Megillah Gorilla has a new favorite as of 14:38 on Jan 16, 2024 |

I remember helping to hook up a vcr tv combo at a buddies house and the tv shelf had runners and a lazy susan set up so you could pull it out AND rotate the TV to access everything. Absolutely blew my 10 y/o mind.

My family always had the "best" version of board games, so I got confused when I would play them at friend's or cousin's houses and they weren't as nice. We didn't have that particular electronic Battleship, but we had the next one, the Electronic Talking battleship.   We also had the fancy deluxe Scrabble with little walls/raised grid lines/whatever you want to call them to hold the letter tiles in place. And it was on a lazy Susan so you could spin it to the active person's turn so they didn't have to look at a sideways or upside-down gameboard.  And our Monopoly was also some fancy Deluxe Anniversary Edition:  In addition to the bigger, fancier box, it had wooden pieces for the houses and hotels, red-colored "casino style" dice, and GOLD-COLORED (i.e. brass) player pieces:  (Edit: The giant frog statue was NOT part of this edition, sadly. Just the best pic of it I found online.) The pieces were different, too. You can see here the options are Thimble, Battleship, Train, Iron, Shoe, Top-hat, Cannon, Wheelbarrow, Statue, and Dog. I think the Train, Top-hat, Statue, and maybe...Canon (?) were new/exclusive to this version? Second edit: Fixed Imgur links. DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 20:28 on Jan 16, 2024 |

Is you posting the Electronic Talking Battleship picture multiple times some brilliant avant-garde thing? Even if it's not, it's kinda funny.
