How well do you remember the actors and actresses who starred in the top ’80s movies and TV shows?
I can't believe it's been three years since I last did a "TV Comix" segment on this blog. To make up for it, I have a pretty big deal from 1979 in the form of the Incredble Hulk. Put on your purple pants and join me after the jump: British Annuals are always a good source for TV based comic strips for shows that didn't get comics. Whether it's TV Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run or Manimal, sometimes the only comic strips they ever got were between the hard cover of these fun publications. Such is the case with the Incredible Hulk, this is not Bruce Banner but David, and it closely follows the tone and feel of the series. Throughout the entire book there is no General Ross or other giant monsters, just small time thugs and would be kidnappers which is the theme of "Terrror of the Swamps" Please note the undeniable lack of "Hulk Smash", the big guy is mute. Cue haunting piano theme. I may have been a weird kid but I used to buy Hulk comics expecting them to be like the TV show, for that reason I really dug this book.

We've already talked about '80s TV shows and the best kids' movies, and it is finally time to talk about cartoons of the decade. So we present you with the ultimate list of the best '80s cartoons!
Last weekend, we celebrated my cousin's 20th birthday. While sitting around waiting for some silly basketball game to end, I began talking about memorable birthday gifts. I recalled that some of my most favorite gifts were given to me by their dad. Their dad is also my "God Father." Remember the "A" necklace I once blogged about? I was turning 7 on November 4, 1979. That was the year Colorforms released the Barbie Dream House. I'm confused because I thought that was the year I received my "A" necklace -- maybe it was some sort of combination gift from Uncle Tony making them even more memorable? Who knows. Anyway, if you're a regular FourthGradeNothing.com reader, you may recall me whining about how I had always wanted a Barbie Dream House but for whatever reason, my folks missed the boat on that gift. Okay, fast forward to the Barbie Dream House Colorforms. I was a serious Colorforms fan and die-hard Barbie fan - this shiz was like the best of both worlds. The Barbie Dream House set was incredible. The backdrop was 3-D and consisted of multiple rooms ready to be filled with fashionably funky late '70s furniture, trinkets, Barbie and Ken figures, clothing and more. I was in heaven! Poof - dream sequence ruined ... Can you imagine the horror I felt when my cousin (she's in her early 20s) shot me a confused look and asked, "What are Colorforms?" It's times like that you realize your true age. For you younger folks who have never heard of Colorforms, please keep reading! Five Fast Colorform Facts Colorforms were invented in the 1960s by a creative New York City couple named Harry (a painter and art director) and Patricia Kislevitz. Colorforms consisted of colorful thin, die-cut flexible plastic shapes which would adhere to the shiny laminated cardboard. Pieces could be reapplied and moved around. The downside was that within a few weeks, the sticker-like pieces lost their adhesiveness from being touched with dirty kids' hands. Mattel and other brands marketed Colorforms throughout the years -- producing Colorforms for a variety of cartoon characters, movies and toys including Peanuts, Holly Hobbie, Strawberry Shortcake, etc. Colorforms came in many shapes and forms - there were games, 3-D cutouts and more. The Colorforms tag line and slogan was "It's More Fun To Play The Colorforms Way" and it really was. Still confused? Think of those window clings people put on their windows around the holidays, it's a very similar concept to Colorforms.

For those who have not seen it, 'The A Team' is a straightforward piledriver of a show, a blue-collar 'Mission Impossible' without the finesse. Here's a TV show review from 1983!
1987 - 1997 | 11 seasons | 259 episodes Married… With Children follows the lives of Al Bundy, a misogynist shoe seller, Peggy, his vain and lazy wife, and their two kids - stereotypic blonde Kelly and very uncool yet smart Bud. And if you haven't heard about this legendary series, you are definitely a rare specimen as it was an absolute '80s TV staple. Loathed by plenty for its mean-spiritedness, Married… With Children still had a solid allure based on Ed O'Neill's portrayal of Al, relatable family situations and a pretty gloomy sense of humor which resonated with audiences worldwide.
Tim Lusher: The small screen takes a trip back to the 1980s this month, with dramas about Boy George, the day of Charles and Diana's wedding, an adaptation of Martin Amis's Money and the finale of Ashes to Ashes. But which are the most memorable shows of that decade?
This is undoubtedly one of those lists that varies wildly depending on the ear and the beholder, but I like to think this countdown touches both on my personal favorites and some of the most interesting, emblematic themes implanted permanently in our collective memory of '80s television.
