Man I was a 6 year old kid in 82. Saturday morning cartoons, playing outside for a majority of the day, true friendships, books, no cellphones or corona virus. As Archie said, those were the days, I miss them dearly.
And AIDS was running rampant, Ronald Regan was trying to bankrupt us with defense spending, the economy was in the shitter, massive unemployment. Great times. I lived through it.
I was 15 in 1982 . . . It was a great year for anyone that was fortunate enough to be there in 1982 . . . being a teenager in 1982 was the best . . . I was a sophomore in high school and was having the time of my life . . . And yes I watched cartoons back then . . Hell I watch cartoons nowadays to . . . In some way or another people never give up certain things that they did when they were younger . . . I know plenty of older people that still watch cartoons just like people still love to watch old movies . . . Everybody wants to hold on to something from there younger days . . . I was 6 in 1973 watching cartoons and in 2023 I still watch cartoons . . And if I live to see 2053 . . I would still watch cartoons . . Hahaha 😂😂😂 .
I was also 12in a1983 I saw Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister at age 13 still the only concert I ever went to sober but still one of the best concert I ever went to as well. Only beaten out by the likes of Pink Floyd, Rodger Waters and Nine Inch Nails of all bands but if you ever see Nine Inch Nails you know what I'm talkin about.
@@Icutmetal It was life in the Matrix. The pop culture was nice and pleasant, but bad stuff was happening behind the scenes. In reality, the 20th and 21st Centuries are totally socially engineered centuries. There's a grand plan behind much of what has happened over the past 120 years. Yeah, I know, I have a tinfoil hat on. ; > )
Icutmetal yea but today kids revolve around electronics such as smart phones and iPads . Where we didn’t have them, we were outside, riding bikes , games and swimming.
@Digby Dooright what about all the good candy they had back then? Dinosaur eggs, Big League Chew, Minute Maid bubble gum, Bubblicious, candy cigarettes, etc i missed some I am sure. Skate boarding, come on man the 80's were great!!!!
@Digby Dooright In certain ways (fashion), I guess. But every decade has its sucky parts. Musically, its was way more experimental than people give the 80's credit for. For me, that decade was very formative even if I did become a metalhead for most of it (and still am). Eventually, I got curious about the influences those musicians listened to, and whole new world of musical genres opened up. In all eras too.
There was never any proof of this "real bat" and Ozzy denies the rumor to this day. In the Letterman interview he never confirmed it, and in countless interviews after he never did. It never happened.
@@SA-oj3vo So that's what she said he said after he said it to her then she confirmed it by saying what he said? Sharon Osbourne would say Ozzy bit the dick off the pope if it made the news and got her a new Gucci bag.
Ozzy Osbourne is confirmed for having taken so many drugs, his body mutated. He may very well have the cure to corona in his bloodstream if he bit off a bat head 32 years ago.
What do I miss about the 80's? Saturday Morning Cartoons. Sitting 3 feet from the ol' vacuum tube, being irradiated with technicolor goodness while I did everything I could to raise my blood sugar to pure syrup levels with bowl after bowl of sugar encrusted wheat byproduct chunks, mechanically extruded into colorful, funky shapes, and then tearing around outside the rest of the morning, pretending to be whatever hero was my cartoon fav at the time, only to crash out just in time for Dad to get up, and start assigning chores. That was living!
I miss those cartoons too, the 80s had the best, from He-Man and She-Ra to Thundercats and the Ninja Turtles. I also miss McDonaldland character commercials, wholesome sitcoms, playing on the Atari and NES, cereal character commercials (Capn Crunch, the Trix Rabbit), great music, Lite Brite, cassettes, clamshell Disney VHS boxes (even with all the room they took up). Just so much nostalgia.
I grew up in the 80's (7-16 years old) and if I had a nickel for every person in the 90's who said that the 80's sucked, I'd be richer than Bill Gates...of course before he makes his trillions on the soon to come vaccines.
Very strong year for sci-fi films: ET, Blade Runner, Tron, The Thing, Wrath of Khan, etc... Stallone & Schwarzenegger also established their first action franchises w/ First Blood & Conan the Barbarian respectively.
And saw all of them in a NYC movie theater at age 10 and 1982 is my all time fave year as I also got many gaming systems from Atari 2600, 5200, Colecovsion, Intellivsion 2 and C64 computer. GOOD YEAR
On Wednesday November 3, 1982, Chicago, Il at 12:03 AM midnight at the time when we were born, at Northwestern Hospital formerly known as Grant Hospital my mother gave birth to Twins their names, Clarence & Robert Simmons. 🧔🏾♂👩🏾👧🏾👶🏾👶🏾♏♏ "Nasty Girl" is a song written and composed by American musician Prince. The song was first recorded by his protégée girl group Vanity 6 in 1982, Prince "1999", Janet Jackson "Young Love", Stevie Wonder "Ribbon in the Sky" and "The Message" is a song by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.
March 19, 1982: Heavy metal guitarist, Randy Rhodes, died in an aircraft crash at the age of 25. It was the year I graduated high school, too. He should have been on this list.
Yes it should!! One of the defining moments in rock history. He still inspires rock guitarists of all genre's today. I was 13 and got to see him in January in San Diego!
OMG! I was 16 in 1982. I would never change a thing! Growing up in that era was phenomenal ! The concerts, day on the green, partying! I would do it again in a minute. Thank you so so much for the walk down memory lane. I subscribed immediately so I can come back not only to finish but to watch it a few times. Again, this has to be THE BEST channel I have found ever!! Thank you again! Such GREAT times to grow up in.
March 6, 1982: The Go-Go’s become the first and only all-female band that played their own instruments and wrote their own songs to top the Billboard 200, with their debut album “Beauty and the Beat”
Someone once said "Its okay to visit the past, just dont bring any luggage" at 55 years old I certainly enjoy looking back at the times I lived through, but not enough to make me want to go back and do it again. In 1982 I was a senior in high school and my oldest daughter was born. The following April I got married. My wife and I celebrated our 37th anniversary this year. Needless to say I had to grow up a lot faster than most. I have been blessed to live through several decades with good memories attached to them all. I think thats what makes most people yearn for the past, they only remember the good things that happened. They forget the trials they endured along the way. Its probably just as well. The only thing I miss is I was healthier when I was younger. I am still healthy now but I certainly couldnt do the things today that I did in 1982. Some say we are living in bad times today. I guess thats a matter of perspective because people said the same thing in 1982 and in just about every point in history. In 20 years people will look back and remember how happy they were in 2020.
Some people actually LIKE their baggage. I do, you did have to grow up fast but you made that choice so it would be nice to let people who had great times remember them with or without baggage, they were great times and golden memories for some of us to relive for a few minutes. Im sure if you wanted to, you have some more great times to relish if you choose to. 😁
Your daughters about to be 40 next year. Just wow! You’re prolly a grandparent now. That’s wicked cool. That’s why I always kinda wanted a child early since I grew up kinda fast anyway (unfortunately my parents had an addiction/alcohol problem so I ran away a lot) I have a loving boyfriend now. I’m 22 years old and I’m hoping to have a wedding and a child soon so I can be alive to see my grandkids and potentially great grandkids!
No, it's not individual perspective. It is fact that the world now is much worse than previous decades, and we are headed to far worse than anyone can imagine.
Same here lol, tbh I never did so good in history in school lol but this series makes a great insert into my daughter's homeschooling !! Have a great day 💖
The history channel did a series like this back in the 2000 teens. These timelines are awesome. What I miss is there was no social media. So events games concerts where so much better.. no ppl making influence videos. Ppl weren't so self entitled.
The 80's decade was the INVENTION of nostalgia, but not before the 2000's. Before the 80's, nostalgia was a single memory or event. I now look upon the 80's with deep, deep rose-tinted glasses that no one can fix. No one talks of any other decade like the 80's.
Three iconic movies are missing from the 1982 Timeline: Rocky III which premiered on May 28, 1982 and brought to popularity Mr. T as Clubber Lang, an unknown Hulk Hogan as Thunderlips; a few years later, Hulkamania would be running wild, and the iconic theme song “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Later that year, Sylvester Stallone would be known for another movie franchise: the Rambo franchise by starring in First Blood, the first installment of the brand, which premiered on October 22, 1982. The movie Poltergeist premiered on June 4, 1982, giving us the legendary line from the movie where the little girl is sitting in front of the television with nothing but static on the screen and says “They’re here!”.
1977 so I don’t remember all of my this is fun. Back in the 80’s kids played outside and got mad if they had to come in or got punished. Not getting to play outside was like losing video games back then
@@christineferreira2181 . . No kid from any generation liked being punished . . It wasn't just kids of the '80s . . . I was born in the 60's and we didn't enjoy getting punished even in the 60"s . . . Hell grown-ups don't even like to be punished . . . And yea kids back in the 80s and the technology kids have nowadays . . . Back then they pretty much didn't have a choice but to have to go outside and find something to do . . . And you were how old in 1982 . ??? . . To even know how it was back then . . . Other than just watching videos about it . . . Unless you were there and old enough to know what it was really like these videos only give you a clue to what the 80s were like .. . These videos don't make you an 80s expert . . . Like this video it just gives you an idea of major things going on that year but it doesn't give you the entire story . . . I was there in 1982 and trust me this video does not give every little detail about 1982 .. . There was a lot of great things in 1982 that is not on these videos .
The 80s, where the years that I cherish. The years that, to be honest, were the best of my life. Life hasn't been kind to me. Almost every decade was another struggle, another fight to keep things together, which ultimately was fruitless . Only the decade of the 80s brought me happiness and love. The whole decade was magical and was the beginning of many first experiences and memories that are seared into my mind and heart. I yearn for those magical days when I was happy. It's been so long since I've been happy I've forgotten what it's like. Whenever I look back on the 80s to try and relieve some of those precious happy times, my mind recoils almost reflexively as if the remembering was a trigger for massive mental anguish and pain from just the thought. Humble the years makes one fear what's next. Im afraid we are too soon old and too late smart . Hold while you can those you love closest to your heart .
Still doesn't change the fact that acetominophen is largely limited to women's complaints. Most guys I know just view it as a (slightly toxic; NEVER use acetominophen if you imbibe!) placebo...
And I've been dealing with those pain in the asses ever since, just last week I was up at my mother's house and she had me open something for her and I couldn't get the seal to peel off the top cleanly so I wound up having to scrape it off, I looked at her and said "Do you remember when opening a bottle like this was something that was simple? Back before some asshole poisoned a bunch of Tylenol and we still have to deal with it all these years later".
Didnt this start in Atlanta?? The Tylenol , I didn’t hear it mentioned. I grew up near there, and I remember all that. Also the Atlanta missing children. It’s 11:00 o’clock do you know where you’re children are??
I love this series! I turned 3 in '82, so I don't really remember any of these events yet. I'm looking forward to more, and to when I can say, Yes, I remember that!
I remember us kids would be playing outside and somebody would yell the Thriller video is on TV and everybody would go running into the house to watch it.
In 1982 kids played outside. I was only 5 but there was neighbors to play with. Losing that if you had to go in for the night, eat, or got grounded was pure hell. I had an Atari early 80s and Nintendo late 80s but didn’t use as much as kids do today
I agree. Well... maybe not the cars. Most of the cars in the 80s were BORING boxes. I think the best decade for cars was the 1960s. BUT - in the 1980s, you could still get a 1967 Mustang or any other classic 60s car for relatively cheap if you wanted some style for your buck! Not the greatest gas mileage in the world. But in the mid-80s gas was CHEAP. I remember it being well below a dollar a gallon in Texas! The cheapest I ever saw it was $0.67/Gallon in Austin sometime between 1985 and 1987. On the other hand - one stylish car I remember that was 100% 80s - because it didn't last past 1989 - was the Pontiac Fiero. (In fact, Pontiac was probably the LEAST boring car manufacturer of the time) The Fiero was a great concept. Too bad the first couple of years of that model had some problems. They got it mostly fixed by 1988 but by then nobody wanted to try it. It's too bad - the last year model of the Fiero was actually a really good little car! My best friend had one and drove it for 15 years or so until it finally gave up and died. He let me drive it a few times and it was a really fun ride!
Lived it; loved it; graduated in 1982 - BEST YEAR - lol. Great Times and even better memories! Thank you for the upload - I remember a lot of this like it was yesterday!!!
God in '82 I was only 10 years old I'm 48 now and a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor but loved the 80's, except for October 16 1988 when my mom vassa past away from a brain aneurysm in her sleep at 38 years old :-(
I was in high school in 1982, and I remember most of this stuff, but some is new to me. I think the album Thriller was basically issued to every teenager in America at the time. We couldn't get enough of it. The outstanding music videos really grabbed people's attention.
You mentioned Ozzy, but didn't mention the death of the great Randy Rhoads, who played guitar for Ozzy and passed away in March of 1982. Not even a month after I was born.
I get it about Randy Rhodes and the guitar god status and how great he was but there are a shit ton of sports fans who know who Bear Bryant was. He's probably a more well known name in the south than Randy was. I'm a guitar player and I loved Randy but football is ridiculously huge in the US, especially in the south. I can almost guarantee most Americans can name members of sports teams than they can name members of a band, no matter how great they are. Sad.
I came right on time for the 80s. Born in 1980, i got to see most of the 80s take shape and most of my most special memories were from my childhood (the 80s)
If you were born in 1980 you wouldn't be old enough to be aware of much of what was going on until the very late 80's. You would have had to have been born in 1970 or earlier to be old enough to catch everything that was happening
Lots of beloved film scores came out of that year. Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by John Williams, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by James Horner, Blade Runner by Vangelis, and so on. Jerry Goldsmith in particular was prolific with releases that include Poltergeist, First Blood, and The Secret of NIMH.
You guys struck gold with this Timeline series, my historical dudes.
@DaGe PaPo theres always someone/something
That sounds like a Bill and Ted reference lol
Yes
yes they did
Wyld stallyns!
Man I was a 6 year old kid in 82. Saturday morning cartoons, playing outside for a majority of the day, true friendships, books, no cellphones or corona virus. As Archie said, those were the days, I miss them dearly.
Wow in early 90s baby i missed it. Better than being born in 2000😂
no woke libtard crazies, kids were actually taught in schools, not indoctrinated..
And AIDS was running rampant, Ronald Regan was trying to bankrupt us with defense spending, the economy was in the shitter, massive unemployment. Great times. I lived through it.

I was 6 in 1982 too.
I love how quickly this moves along. Really underscores the uniqueness and diversity of the 80s. Very binge-worthy!
i was 12 in 1982. the 80's was one of the greatest decades ever
I was 11 :). Good times indeed!
Flock of seagulls fan are ya?
@Gene Cox you’re the same age as my dad lol
@ you’re the same age as my mom lol
I was also 12in a1983 I saw Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister at age 13 still the only concert I ever went to sober but still one of the best concert I ever went to as well. Only beaten out by the likes of Pink Floyd, Rodger Waters and Nine Inch Nails of all bands but if you ever see Nine Inch Nails you know what I'm talkin about.
The 80's was a unique decade. Great time to be a kid. Everything was kid & teen-focused...games, cartoons, movies, pop culture, etc.
Sure was; I was born in ‘80, and have so many good memories of my childhood. Such a simpler time, although I’m sure every generation could say that.

These Timeline segments have an insane production value. It looks like something that would be on a cable network.
Can't believe "eye of the tiger" wasnt mentioned. Number 1 in the charts in Sept 1982 when I was born.
I was born in September of 82 also. Apparently on the day the first emoticon was used according to this video 🤦🏻♂️
August 82 here… come on Eileen was number one.
And on april 11th '82 my era began. The number 1 song was "I love rock and roll" by Joan Jett and the blackhearts.
Or Pink Floyd’s feature film “The Wall”
@@bmoto0044 ;)
Also in 1982, legendary actor Henry Fonda died only months after winning his only Oscar(tm) for his final role in "On Golden Pond."
I only miss one thing about the 80's: my youth.
@Digby Dooright I feel the same way only that I was a kid back then.
I miss the 90's more.
They rocked and I was a teenager.
@Digby Dooright what about all the good candy they had back then? Dinosaur eggs, Big League Chew, Minute Maid bubble gum, Bubblicious, candy cigarettes, etc i missed some I am sure. Skate boarding, come on man the 80's were great!!!!

What a year! I discovered Depeche Mode,Culture Club,A Flock of Seagulls and fell in love with MTV!
Timeline is nostalgia incarnate, as I was born in 1971. I sure recall a LOT of this! Especially Saturday morning cartoons
What do I miss about the 80's?
Saturday Morning Cartoons.
Sitting 3 feet from the ol' vacuum tube, being irradiated with technicolor goodness while I did everything I could to raise my blood sugar to pure syrup levels with bowl after bowl of sugar encrusted wheat byproduct chunks, mechanically extruded into colorful, funky shapes, and then tearing around outside the rest of the morning, pretending to be whatever hero was my cartoon fav at the time, only to crash out just in time for Dad to get up, and start assigning chores. That was living!
Sounds perfectly accurate to me, looking back at my experiences in the 80s, and I wouldn't change that experience for anything in the world.😊
And drinking from a garden hose, not getting sick! 😀
Right! Lol 🤣
B Taradactilee 😂😂.
I miss those cartoons too, the 80s had the best, from He-Man and She-Ra to Thundercats and the Ninja Turtles. I also miss McDonaldland character commercials, wholesome sitcoms, playing on the Atari and NES, cereal character commercials (Capn Crunch, the Trix Rabbit), great music, Lite Brite, cassettes, clamshell Disney VHS boxes (even with all the room they took up).

Being a 90’s baby i gotta say the 80s seemed like a really kick ass decade to live in!
It was. I miss it every day. 90s were pretty great too though
The toys... we had the best toys. The best movies. Everything.
I grew up in the 80's (7-16 years old) and if I had a nickel for every person in the 90's who said that the 80's sucked, I'd be richer than Bill Gates...of course before he makes his trillions on the soon to come vaccines.

I love the Timeline series!
So do I
Last 2 sundays I woke up to this pleasant surprise. Now it's in my brain and I can look forward to it!
Meeee toooo 👍
That plane crash story... such a horrifying situation for a 10 year old. Looked him up and apparently he is in the prosthetics business.
Thanks, I was considering looking that up. I still may.
ILA What? Did you just have a stroke or something?
What I miss the most about the 80's is being able to take $5 worth of quarters to my local arcade and play games all afternoon long.
And you could pick up pop bottles to get those quarters... Just ask your neighbors
I watch the 80s timeline so much. I wish each year was longer. My favorite part is when that VCR sound pops up for each segment.
yeah, these need to be an hour long, 20mins flashbacks aren't long enough for me. But keep going, i like this stuff being an 80's kid.
Have you watched the MTV series "I love the 80s"
They did hour long episodes on each year and even revisited years again in the 3D series.
On March 22, 1982, Iron Maiden’s breakthrough album “The Number of the Beast” was released and hit #1 on the UK charts.
They open at 4 Judas Priest here in the states their first tour. It was an awesome show
I was there.
They suck

I’m 22 years old and I’m hoping to have a wedding and a child soon so I can be alive to see my grandkids and potentially great grandkids!
No, it's not individual perspective. It is fact that the world now is much worse than previous decades, and we are headed to far worse than anyone can imagine.
Weird history and the narrator=soothing quality.
Narrators voice is amazingly smooth !! 💯
@@__jolynn__5120 I find narrator rather pompous and patronizing.
Sounds like Stephen Colbert to me.
WR 2998 dude i thought i was the only one!
Is that narrator Dan Harris?
The only good thing from 2020 is this series.
😎👍
The weirdest of history
💯👍
I second that!
😂😂😂👏👏👏👍
Yes, Mr. Narrator... This was the beginning. What a year indeed!!

Finally a comment i was looking for
It’s weird how I’m getting a better history lesson from this channel than any history class I’ve ever taken in school. Love your videos!!!
Same here lol, tbh I never did so good in history in school lol but this series makes a great insert into my daughter's homeschooling !! Have a great day 💖
I wish they’d do an entire school series. Could use the entertainment in microbiology and chemistry 😂
It's because it only what the government wants you to learn
@@getthebagnelly very true 💯
I know right?? Hopefully they keeping making this series for other decades!!
What I miss about the '80's , my 20's.
Thad Nipper you are old!
That’s so mean
@@bltvd You must be too young to know the difference between your and you're.
crispy rock I had misspelled the word “old” using the antiquated spelling “Olde”.
AMEN!...I miss my 20's too!😔
The history channel did a series like this back in the 2000 teens. These timelines are awesome. What I miss is there was no social media. So events games concerts where so much better.. no ppl making influence videos. Ppl weren't so self entitled.
I'm loving these videos as someone who grew up in the 80's.
YESSSS! ME2
They’re rad!
I remember my 1st Grateful Dead concert 1985 and Haley’s comet 1986.

@art deco Rock n roll my friend!
All the nostalgia an 80s kid could ask for.
The 80's decade was the INVENTION of nostalgia, but not before the 2000's. Before the 80's, nostalgia was a single memory or event. I now look upon the 80's with deep, deep rose-tinted glasses that no one can fix. No one talks of any other decade like the 80's.
Three iconic movies are missing from the 1982 Timeline: Rocky III which premiered on May 28, 1982 and brought to popularity Mr. T as Clubber Lang, an unknown Hulk Hogan as Thunderlips; a few years later, Hulkamania would be running wild, and the iconic theme song “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Later that year, Sylvester Stallone would be known for another movie franchise: the Rambo franchise by starring in First Blood, the first installment of the brand, which premiered on October 22, 1982. The movie Poltergeist premiered on June 4, 1982, giving us the legendary line from the movie where the little girl is sitting in front of the television with nothing but static on the screen and says “They’re here!”.
Those Jane Fonda workout videos are so legendary & famous lol.... I even watched those as a kid when i was bored lmao
Please Keep this 80's series Going

"Just say no to drugs didn't really have an effect on John DeLorean." That cracked me up.
😂
Loving this series and now rewatching in order.
One of my favourite years. I was a big sister at nearly 6
Bill Murray was also Letterman's last guest.
@M Detlef at no point is it mentioned that Murray was Letterman's last guest. So stick it pal.
I actually didnt know that, and is a pretty cool fact. I have no idea what this idiot commenting before me is talking about lol
Speaking of the DeLorean, you guys are my personal time machine. You take me to a simpler, happier time in my life. Thanks, thanks indeed!
Johnny Carson was caught driving drunk in his DeLorean in 1982 as well.
I am bingeing on your 1980s series on Christmas Day, 2020!
Born in 1982 and I approve of this weirdness.
1977 so I don’t remember all of my this is fun.
Back in the 80’s kids played outside and got mad if they had to come in or got punished. Not getting to play outside was like losing video games back then
Born in 1982 as well
I was born in Sept of 82
@@christineferreira2181 . . No kid from any generation liked being punished . . It wasn't just kids of the '80s . . . I was born in the 60's and we didn't enjoy getting punished even in the 60"s . . . Hell grown-ups don't even like to be punished . . . And yea kids back in the 80s and the technology kids have nowadays . . . Back then they pretty much didn't have a choice but to have to go outside and find something to do . . . And you were how old in 1982 . ??? . . To even know how it was back then . . . Other than just watching videos about it . . . Unless you were there and old enough to know what it was really like these videos only give you a clue to what the 80s were like .. . These videos don't make you an 80s expert . . . Like this video it just gives you an idea of major things going on that year but it doesn't give you the entire story . . . I was there in 1982 and trust me this video does not give every little detail about 1982 .. . There was a lot of great things in 1982 that is not on these videos .
Born in 1982 too!
Who else loves this series?
I like history.
jon Fischer im obsessed with is lol
I definitely do. The 80’s were the best years of my life. I have so many wonderful memories!
Sassy Karen i agree i miss the 80s and 90s almost equally. The horror films were def better in the 80s
@Amanda Conti, Turtles are great.
I turned 10 in 1980 and I'm loving the absolutely hell out of this series!
The 80s, where the years that I cherish. The years that, to be honest, were the best of my life. Life hasn't been kind to me. Almost every decade was another struggle, another fight to keep things together, which ultimately was fruitless . Only the decade of the 80s brought me happiness and love. The whole decade was magical and was the beginning of many first experiences and memories that are seared into my mind and heart. I yearn for those magical days when I was happy. It's been so long since I've been happy I've forgotten what it's like. Whenever I look back on the 80s to try and relieve some of those precious happy times, my mind recoils almost reflexively as if the remembering was a trigger for massive mental anguish and pain from just the thought. Humble the years makes one fear what's next. Im afraid we are too soon old and too late smart . Hold while you can those you love closest to your heart .
what i miss most about the 80's is my childhood and my grandparents (they both passed away in the early 90's)
Tylenol handled that unfortunate situation like a champ. Pulled everything and created tamper-proof seals. 👍🏼
The person who did that never was caught and now everything has tamper evident seals.
Still doesn't change the fact that acetominophen is largely limited to women's complaints. Most guys I know just view it as a (slightly toxic; NEVER use acetominophen if you imbibe!) placebo...
And I've been dealing with those pain in the asses ever since, just last week I was up at my mother's house and she had me open something for her and I couldn't get the seal to peel off the top cleanly so I wound up having to scrape it off, I looked at her and said "Do you remember when opening a bottle like this was something that was simple? Back before some asshole poisoned a bunch of Tylenol and we still have to deal with it all these years later".
Didnt this start in Atlanta?? The Tylenol , I didn’t hear it mentioned. I grew up near there, and I remember all that. Also the Atlanta missing children. It’s 11:00 o’clock do you know where you’re children are??

I love this series! I turned 3 in '82, so I don't really remember any of these events yet. I'm looking forward to more, and to when I can say, Yes, I remember that!
Damn. I had no idea that Jordan was doing his thing in a game the day I was born.
1982 just like any other year, was revolutionary in its own, also I love this series keep up the good work
This sure brings back some memories. 1982 was when I graduated from high school and entered college.
you must be 60 or 50,
@@LuckyPikinini or 55-56 dumbass.
Most likely same as me...56!
I like your shirt... I've a couple just like it
@@paulallison6689 Me too. Class of 82.
Y’all should make a timeline of the late 40s or 50s. I experienced many milestones in my musical career then, and it would mean so much to me.
Me watching this whole video just to see Michael dropping the biggest hit of all time in a 1982 timeline
I remember when we saw the The Thing my mom and me screamed through the whole movie! Haha Great memories.
Amazing memories truly
best horror movie ever
(after the shining)
"my mom and I" Grammar must not have been taught very well in the 1980s...lol. At least it wasn't "me and my mom", even worse.
Not for nothing, the best intro in UA-cam, makes me giddy when he says "this is timeline"...i hope the plan is to do every year...ever
I know... the intro really draws you in. Almost like it belongs on Discovery or something.
GIDDY LOL I JUST LOVE THAT WORD!
I LOVE this series- I could watch all day!😍
My decade of great times and great memories! Thank you!! 😊
I remember us kids would be playing outside and somebody would yell the Thriller video is on TV and everybody would go running into the house to watch it.
Wow lucky 80s kids!!
I've really been enjoying this series. I was born in 1982 so it's fun to watch.
In 1982 kids played outside. I was only 5 but there was neighbors to play with. Losing that if you had to go in for the night, eat, or got grounded was pure hell. I had an Atari early 80s and Nintendo late 80s but didn’t use as much as kids do today
Timeline is gold 🥇
Rip Michael Jackson. He owned the 80s & this was the beginning
He was a victim of cancel culture before it even had a name.
He was the best in my opinion one of a kind to this day no one can dance like him
Dave Dave is still alive
I miss MJ 🙁❤
Yes he did . Sad he is gone . Farrah Faucet and Michael died same day back in 1995.
What i miss about the 80s? everything.
The Cars
The Music
The TV Shows
The Films
Just to name a few.
I agree. Well... maybe not the cars. Most of the cars in the 80s were BORING boxes. I think the best decade for cars was the 1960s. BUT - in the 1980s, you could still get a 1967 Mustang or any other classic 60s car for relatively cheap if you wanted some style for your buck! Not the greatest gas mileage in the world. But in the mid-80s gas was CHEAP. I remember it being well below a dollar a gallon in Texas! The cheapest I ever saw it was $0.67/Gallon in Austin sometime between 1985 and 1987.
On the other hand - one stylish car I remember that was 100% 80s - because it didn't last past 1989 - was the Pontiac Fiero. (In fact, Pontiac was probably the LEAST boring car manufacturer of the time) The Fiero was a great concept. Too bad the first couple of years of that model had some problems. They got it mostly fixed by 1988 but by then nobody wanted to try it. It's too bad - the last year model of the Fiero was actually a really good little car! My best friend had one and drove it for 15 years or so until it finally gave up and died. He let me drive it a few times and it was a really fun ride!
Lived it; loved it; graduated in 1982 - BEST YEAR - lol. Great Times and even better memories! Thank you for the upload - I remember a lot of this like it was yesterday!!!
March 19, 1982- Randy Rhoads, the greatest rock guitarist ever, dies in a plane crash.
A metal god that is truly unequaled, man I wish he turned down that ride on the plane with that idiot coked out pilot. Really sad.
I was disappointed to not see this mentioned. Ozzy even talks about it in that Letterman interview. RIP Randy.
Who was responsible for that????
Jimi would like a word with you. 😀
Blade Runner came out 6 months before I was born and sadly the movie has aged better than myself
Schramer Hammer me to! 😂😂
Just a series that makes it to the top to watch over and over. Amazing guys
God in '82 I was only 10 years old I'm 48 now and a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor but loved the 80's, except for October 16 1988 when my mom vassa past away from a brain aneurysm in her sleep at 38 years old :-(
I was in high school in 1982, and I remember most of this stuff, but some is new to me. I think the album Thriller was basically issued to every teenager in America at the time. We couldn't get enough of it. The outstanding music videos really grabbed people's attention.
You mentioned Ozzy, but didn't mention the death of the great Randy Rhoads, who played guitar for Ozzy and passed away in March of 1982. Not even a month after I was born.
Seriously, they mentioned the death of some coach that nobody has ever heard of (and who didn't even die in 1982), but nothing about Rhoads.
Master Rhoads' legacy continues and his popularity increases with time such as all legends.
I get it about Randy Rhodes and the guitar god status and how great he was but there are a shit ton of sports fans who know who Bear Bryant was. He's probably a more well known name in the south than Randy was. I'm a guitar player and I loved Randy but football is ridiculously huge in the US, especially in the south. I can almost guarantee most Americans can name members of sports teams than they can name members of a band, no matter how great they are. Sad.
I was born October 1982. Awesome year to be born
@@shantellakaladypersephone8671 i agree, I am from December of that year.
Not a SINGLE mention of my birth. I normally really enjoy your work, but I have to say I'm more than a little disappointed with this.
🤣 same

I feel you Kerri. I too was neglected by this video.
It's like our birthdays aren't historically notable!! 😛
my bf & I and his family canoe down the Mad River almost every summer. love it!
I'm really loving that you are doing longer shows now. Thanks so much for sharing on youtube.
I'm loving this series. The 80's was my decade
Word
Not even fully awake and clicked with one eye 👁 open! I’m up, I’m up 😂😂
Loving the timelines! Bringing back great memories of the 80’s! The best decade!!
Big time
born in ´81 here….the 90s series was great! overwhelmed me with nostalgia
Please continue the Timeline series! I’m sooo ready for the 70’s!
"The Thing" is so good it hurts
My highlight for the year is the birth of the youngest daughter. She was born on January 19, 1982.
Aww ❤️
Same day I was born as well
I was born feb 1st 1982
Ha! I beat her by 11 days!
@@donnyblazedone all the great people were born on that day.
I came right on time for the 80s. Born in 1980, i got to see most of the 80s take shape and most of my most special memories were from my childhood (the 80s)
If you were born in 1980 you wouldn't be old enough to be aware of much of what was going on until the very late 80's. You would have had to have been born in 1970 or earlier to be old enough to catch everything that was happening
@@Suddenlyits1960 true. But I still have a few glimpses
1982 was my favorite year. ET was in the theaters, You forgot to mention the TV show, the A-Team which came out the same time as knight rider.
Y’all forgot about Randy Rhoads’ death in March of ‘82
I bitched already about that brother 👍.
Good call!
Sorry, we didn't have that in TImeline but we do have full video on it
Watching Cheers with my family is my favourite memory from that year.
One of the best series i've seen in a long time. Thanks!
I love these timeline episodes! Please continue them.
As a kid from the 80’s I enjoyed these videos. Especially 81-86 1st through 6th grade
Lots of beloved film scores came out of that year. Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by John Williams, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by James Horner, Blade Runner by Vangelis, and so on. Jerry Goldsmith in particular was prolific with releases that include Poltergeist, First Blood, and The Secret of NIMH.
Can’t wait for 1983 and 1984 those where the best years in the 80’s in my opinion
Why?
sam sung some of the best music of the decade plus a lot of interesting films and vehicles came out in those years
sam sung it was all good until after 86 It was all down hill after 87 I was 11 in 86 dam I’m old
Claude can I get my gf back?
Carl Johnson no
Time lines are 👍 great. Weird history you are entertaining...rain or shine🌄🌧️
That was a really cool and unique recap of my birth year. So many things I never knew happened that year. You are brilliant!
'Everything happened in 2020' is going to have a whole season.
And it will be a full blown documentary lol
UFOs confirmed but no one caring, Wayfair selling children 🤣
Gonna be another American Horror Story season
It wouldn't be very long. A pandemic and riots. Everything else was canceled or postponed.
