Flashback Friday -- written on Thursday

I decided to go down memory lane every Friday and I hope you'll join me. This Friday I was thinking about some of my favorite tv shows growing up. It seems like I watched a lot of tv, but I don't remember being allowed to watch it very often. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to play a game. Anyone can play! I'm sure at least one of my siblings remembers watching these shows also.
Each picture will have a letter by it and to win the game you have to guess the most show names. The winner will be sent a really fun prize in the mail! The contest will end next Friday (May 23), when I will post the answers!

Here are the rules of the game:
1. You must put your answers in the comment spot 2. You may not peek at other comments for the answers 3. You may try to find answers on the internet or ask others (if you really want to take the time!)

That's it! Now....let's get started! Good luck!



NAME THAT 80'S TV SHOW!!


ROUND 1


A. Can you remember the dog's name? It's okay if you don't....just name the show!




B. This was one of my favorites!
Name the show and the name of the character that Michael J. Fox plays.





C. What's the name of this show about a really cute babysitter (at least I used to think so!)?



D. By the Powers of _____________ Name this character.


E. This was a very strange show.....remember? The dad made a robot girl named Vicki (front right) and the family passed her off as the daughter/sister, but they were always trying to keep it a secret from everybody. What's the name of the show?



ROUND 2



F. This show used to make me laugh like crazy (whatchou talkin' 'bout Willis?!). What's it called?



G. I actually only watched this show a couple of times - I thought it was stupid, but it was all the rage at the time. Who is this strange looking creature?



H. This was a favorite. I especially loved Jo and Tootie. What's the name of the show?




I. My best friend in grade school, Holly Scott, introduced me to this show and we both went CRAZY for Kirk Cameron. I had posters of him all over my room (along with the New Kids on the Block). So, what's the name of the show?



J. I swear this guy doesn't age....he looks about the same today!

Name the car and the show.

ROUND 3 (It's almost over!)


K. Remember all the loves in Kevin Arnold's life?
What was the name of his one true love and what is the name of this show?



L. You can't talk about 80's television without this family! I love that they were black upper middle class and they had 5 kids!!! I also love the colorful sweaters and outfits they always wore. What's the name of the show?



M. This one may not be as familiar. What's it called? (Hint: The name of the butler)

N. I still think Ricky Schroeder is a cutie (Oh sorry, he goes by Rick now!). Remember the little train they rode in....I always wanted one! What's the name of this show?



O. These guys were cousins from different countries (remember the saying - with an accent of course, "of course I do, don't be ridiculous!). What was this show called?



P. This was another favorite. I always hoped Tony and Angela would get together.....did they ever? That Mona was disgusting though! What was the name of this show?




BONUS ROUND

(One of them is all grown up)

Angela, This looks so fun. The only one I knew was The Cosby Show...guess this just wasn't my era or I wasn't watching the same shows you were. I think I may have been too busy raising kids to watch tv. By the way, I love the Celine Dion music, which is probably from that baby lullaby CD of hers. LOVE IT! Mom
