Rediscover The 80s

Jason welcomes welcomes frequent collaborator Wyatt Bloom to rank our favorite TV shows that debuted in 1987. We begin with some context by running down the top rated shows and even some firsts and fun facts from 1987. Then we dive into our Top 5 lists including sitcoms, game shows, and even some reenacted drama. Themes and even some sound bytes have been mixed in for your listening pleasure!

We invite your feedback and your own Top 5 lists by finding our show notes at Rediscoverthe80s.com, message us on social media or on the RD80s YouTube channel where you can watch our podcast recording.

A new podcast series is making its debut on the Rediscover the 80s Podcast feed! The new show is titled "Rediscovered" (imagine that!) and will feature reviews of not-so-popular '80s TV shows, movies, and animation. Jason and Wyatt will be rewatching these obscurities either for the first time or reliving since their original run.

Our first episode covers the short-lived 1987-88 TV movie and series The Highwayman. It was created by Glen A. Larson of hit shows like Knight Rider and Battlestar Gallactica yet only managed to produce a TV movie and 9 episodes. We vaguely remember watching the show in its initial run yet the transforming vehicles have remained memorable over the years.

We invite you to rewatch and also give us your feedback either on our show notes at Rediscoverthe80s.com or our recording session video on the RD80s YouTube channel.

Jason and Wyatt dig through boxes of old mixtapes to see what they've recorded over the years. We read through playlists of actual cassettes and rediscover albums we have hung onto all these years. Plus, we also talk about our early stereos, car setups, taping songs at the radio station we both worked at, and when our cassette days bit the dust. Our icebreaker starts the show off with a beloved board game making a comeback.
