Night Court Night Court is an American television situation comedy that aired on NBC from January 1984 until May 1992. The setting for the show was the night shift of a court in Manhattan, presided over by the young, unorthodox Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone (played by Harry Anderson). Night Court was created by comedy writer Reinhold Weege, who had previously worked on the award-winning and wry series Barney Miller in the 1970s and early 1980s. Some who began watching Night Court at its premiere were expecting a similar program, especially since they both began with a catchy bassline and featured law-enforcement personnel in New York City, but Night Court was a distinctly sillier show. Live Aid Live Aid was a multi-venue rock music concert held on July 13, 1985 (1985-07-13). The event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in order to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Billed as the 'global jukebox', the main sites for the event were Wembley Stadium, London (attended by 72,000 people) and JFK Stadium, Philadelphia (attended by about 90,000 people), with some acts performing at other venues such as Sydney and Moscow. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated 1.5 billion viewers, across 100 countries, watched the live broadcast.

July 13th 1985 was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive We fed the world that day We fed the world that day
It was a day for a party we made a lot of food and we ate it sure as hell Vegetarian salads, they had no meat, there was leftovers as well Everybody laughed when I said 'Thinking of the people either dying or dead Let's pick up the leftovers, send them to the starving children in Ethiopia' My mother used to say that
Sure I was pleased to give money, cause it was not a political cause I just remember the smiling faces, the music and the applause I spent 30 quid on coke I smoked a little too much dope I was wiped out from 5 til 7, I missed Spandau Ballet and U2
July 13th 1985 was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive We fed the world that day We fed the world that day
The music was f***ing brilliant and that Madonna she sure can move By the time Paul McCartney's microphone had failed yeah, we are all well into the Live Aid groove Paul McCartney, he sang... Which must have been a bit of an irony Cos if you 'Let it Be' nothing will ever improve But it was one of the first times I ever heard one of the real Beatles sing a real Beatles' song live on television, I really wished Julian Lennon had turned up instead of his recently dead father, I was really moved
July 13th 1985 was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive We fed the world that day We fed the world that day
Well, the powerful voice of pop music, solve the problems, feed the world So what if there weren't any blacks involved, there was Everything but the Girl Bob Geldof has no ego that man should get the Nobel Prize By the time he sang the solo on Feed the World I thought he should be canonized
I felt guilty about the starving but I felt good to be alive And I must admit I shed a tear or two in the very moving video for that great Cars song "Drive" Saint Bob made me feel like shit So I got out an envelope, opened it Put in a very crisp ten pound note It was the same one I used earlier to snort my coke And that made me feel good inside Sending the money, not snorting the coke

I like Night Court, but I have to vote for Live Aid. That was a very big moment in the 1980s.

I request the name of the thread be renamed, for accuracy. It's very misleading to read "ULTIMATE 1980s Tournament" and get one's hopes up and excited about this awesome list of nominations. Then, no more than 10 matchups into the the freaking FIRST ROUND(?) leg warmers--easily one of the top 10 fads from the 80s (top 5 for me)--loses to what would not even be a top 16 seed in movie titles from the 80s and "Like a Virgin" completely jobs to THE LAST CRUSADE? *insert at least 1,000 more question marks for effect* I was so incredibly hyped up after seeing the awesome nominations too.

Yuppies Yuppies (young urban professionals, young up and coming professionals or less commonly young upwardly-mobile professionals) is a market segment whose consumers are characterized as self-reliant, financially secure individualists. Since the late 1980s, the phrase affluent professionals has been used as a synonym, stripped of negative associations with the once-homogenous market Transformers(Show) The Transformers toyline and cartoon series owed their existence to the Japanese toyline, Microman (an Eastern descendant of the 12" G.I. Joe action figure series). In 1980, the Microman spin-off, Diaclone, was released, featuring inch-tall humanoid figures able to sit in the drivers' seats of scale model vehicles, which could transform into humanoid robot bodies the drivers piloted. Later still, in 1983, a Microman sub-line, MicroChange was introduced, featuring "actual size" items that transformed into robots, such as microcassettes, guns and toy cars. Diaclone and MicroChange toys were subsequently discovered on show at the 1983 Tokyo Toy Fair by Hasbro toy company product developer Henry Orenstein, who presented the concept to Hasbro's head of R&D, George Dunsay. Enthusiastic about the product, it was decided to release toys from both Diaclone and MicroChange as one toyline for their markets.

I should make a sex tape with this Optimus cutout I have. He's got a big ol' gun that'd do the job just fine.
And so have I. HAR.

Yuppies
Transformers were a little before my time and quite frankly can't hold a candle to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or dare I say, even Bucky O'Hare.
