The 80s had this warm, fuzzy aura about it. Kind of that feeling you get an hour after New Years, when you're sitting on the sofa surrounded by your loved ones, all huddled close to the crackling fireplace.
Perfectly said. The 80’s definitely had a certain safe, warm fuzziness about it for me too. Suburban life for the average American seemed so safe and secure then. Was a wonderful decade to have grown up and been a part of.
@@nickhill8612 Then I'll insult them saying, "In that case, you got an attention span the size of an amoeba! And stop getting defensive, or you'll die from your lack of common sense."
We were watching commercials from the 80's on here and One to Grow On intro came on and I felt just like you. I haven't even thought of it in 40 years. I want the ball! 😆
I remember it too! A scene from the book "Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV" always made that go through me head! ESPECIALLY the sound of it went through me head!
great quality on this video. These are amusing to watch especially now that we are familiar with this actor at a different age. It's nice the networks cared to convey positive messages to our kids back then, but I think teens suffer more when it comes to noise pollution rather than 10 year olds with $20 mp3 players.
He's right about music. Not to mention, if you want to listen to it, put headphones on instead. Playing music too loud in a vehicle can cause the driver to not hear important things like an ambulance from behind.
The blonde guy actually looks like a younger version of Daryl Hall! It sure would have been interesting if you heard him playing the songs "Private Eyes" or "Maneater" on that boombox when he first entered the bus! ~Dutch
You're so right, Michael Glickman. We can all get along if we just learn to respect other people's opinions -- heh, if if we really don't agree, heh heh. And that's ... one to grow on.
hehe, looks like jason just smoked a doobie. Hey i always enjoyed a Saturday morning wake n bake then veg out on the couch and watch cartoons. Ahh...the memories.
I know this comment is 8 years old but I'm responding. Why would anyone be mad. I had a huge crush on him on Silver Spoons. Why do you think Ricky Schroeder's parents got him kicked off the show? He was getting more fan mail than "The Ricker".
I totally agree with you. And Schroeder’s parents got him kicked off of Silver Spoons because people liked him a lot more which is incredibly stupid. And Jason doesn’t think COVID was made in China just to decrease human population unlike Rick.
I love that someone thought these cheesy PSAs were going to teach 80s teens good manners. I feel like they were all written by grumpy old men. "These kids today with their loud music!" It's fun though, I get a nostalgic smile from seeing them again.
LOL I bet I'm older than you! I wanted a ghetto blaster but my mom wouldn't let me have one because that's what break dancers had. (Back then it was the feared break dancer. Nowadays it's gangsters!) Anyway, I got a walkman instead of a ghetto blaster for Christmas in 1986 ;)
I might have imagined this episode, I don't know, but I am sure I have seen one of these where a kid was about to get revenge on some bullies with ninja throwing stars, and his younger brother had to decide whether to tell his parents or not. I've been looking forever for that episode, and I can't find it anywhere. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to find a list and details of these shorts on the internet, because the internet today is no longer ment to be used to find information; only propaganda, Covid, and Trump
AWESOME! I love how there was also a little snippet from the Alf's Animated Adventures too! I remember always watching Alf Animated, Fraggle Rock Animated, Smurfs, and other stuff like that on Global on Saturday mornings. I haven't seen "One To Grow On" in ages. I remember that they used to have between commercial breaks all the time. Hilarious to see a young Jason Bateman. Oh by the way, do you have the "Brown Cow" ads from this time period? The one that's the song that say's it "Moolicious"?
When Ed McMahon tells you to turn the radio down, you do it or youre going to hear it from a baked Jason Bateman. Can you blame him, though--growing up a Bluth and all. Its your move.
Alf killing himself is sort of disturbing... Also, that guy is going to go deaf and have arthritis by lugging that boom box around so close to his ear!
