Well, it's things like this that cause me to miss the late 1980s actually. It was a time when everything was developing, technology was on the rise but not omni-present, and things could still get away with being loud, cheezy, and fun without having to be some kind of ironic parody.
Sure, the quality is lacking compared today, especially when you look at one of my favorite series from the time period "Friday The 13th The Series" (bad acting, dubious special effects, and widely varied quality in plotlines), but I think there is a certain magic to
the 1980s that has died out.
Right now, cynical self awareness and fear of ridicule has kind of made it so your not going to see the same kinds of production, fashion, or whatever else.
Not meaning to put too much of the "glow of never was" on it, but it's good to see someone who can admit to fond memories of something from the time period, and point to it's strengths rather than simply engaging in outright mockery... though admittedly a LOT of things from the time period admittedly do deserve the mockery that they get.
