I've been cutting my own hair for the last 14 years for this exact same reason. I still have the same pair of clippers too so I must have hundreds by now

Yeah i'm the world's worst listener and I absolutely hate it so I'm always trying to find ways to fix it. I can watch entire season runs without knowing what happened. I've been known to go to the cinema and leave without having paid attention to a single thing. I've listened to literally hundreds of podcasts but don't bother any more because there's just no point. Five minutes at best and my mind goes elsewhere.

Ironically if there's something else I'm trying to focus on and there is a TV or something happening in my peripheral I often can't tune it out.. lol

The way I look at it is that I'm more happy that we've progressed since than I'm upset about what people were laughing at back then. Regardless of who was on the receiving end the comedy was good and I will enjoy it without guilt. That being said if somebody made those jokes today it would be a different story

Definitely need to watch a bit of Macgyver! I want to check out Miami Vice again sometime but my partner hated it. I do love the style and the music though.

I'm looking forward to MST3K for sure. Who's The Boss got lost in the shuffle somehow. Looking back there was a lot of debuts in 1984 and I couldn't watch everything. Definitely one I need to revisit though

I did watch a few movies this years too but haven't been in the mood a lot of the time. I'd already seen a lot of the 'good' movies from 88 so went for the lighter side a lot of the time.

Crocodile Dundee 2 Short Circuit 2 18 Again! Willow Funny Farm Hot To Trot Vibes

Of those Funny Farm was the one I enjoyed most. Short Circuit 2 is good Sunday afternoon fun if you can get past the horrific indian stereotype. Hot To Trot is straight up weird and Vibes was a struggle to watch. The others were fine.

I never watched Akira. I am a bit of a hard sell on anime sometimes but I always hear good things about it. I'll put it on the list

I powered through those old KTMA episodes years ago. I will probably try and watch them again but I know exactly what you mean. I still love Joel though and I like the way he comes across in the early episodes, and the skits were good if I remember correctly. My biggest complaint with those is the movies themselves - there's way too many Kaiju and puppet movies for my liking. 5 Gamera movies back to back is tough to say the least.

I dunno, it's up there with Knight Rider and Airwolf in that it's cool as hell to start with, but an hour long episode every week is a drag. My opinion anyway, but I feel like once you've seen a handful of episodes it gets boring. Someone else said the best part of those shows is the theme song and I have to agree.

Yeah it was my absolute top number 1 favourite show for a very long time. It's one of those shows I can just throw on any episode any time and enjoy it. Cheers, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, Newhart and Golden Girls are top 5 for that vibe. Like a warm hug

It's worth watching again. I might be biased towards old sitcoms but I think it holds up better compared to other 80s shows. Apparently audiences didn't enjoy the show because they found the character unlikeable... Which was kinda the whole point, and I thought they played it well. I think if it came out 10 or 15 years later it would have done much better
