Remembering the 80's

Hasbro is the toy company with the network the HUB. That's Zach's favorite TV channel (130 on Comcast here). They love the '80s and have used computer generation to remake 80's shows. We can relive our childhoods with modern versions of Transformers Generation 1 (Now Transformers: Prime), Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Pound Puppies. They have also aired old episodes of Fraggle Rock and Jem.

Jem was one of my favorite shows. A few weeks ago they did a weekend marathon and it was fun to watch again. Zach recently asked for the Care Bear "Funshine" and it made me relive the fun I had with my "Cheerbear" (the one with the rainbow). I am watching season 5 of The Big Bang Theory on DVD and one Actor playing a jewelry salesman in "The Shiny Trinket Maneuver" was in a favorite '80s show. His name is Jonathan Schmock.

That show was Double Trouble and it was about identical twins Kate and Allison played by Liz and Jean Segal:

With that in mind I decided to search the internet for more of my favorite '80s things. I couldn't find full episodes of Double Trouble for free but let's see what else I can find.
