The 80's was a time of colour. There was a joy about that era. Every TV series I loved was colourful and joyous to watch even if it dealt with revenge, jealousy, sex, murder -- traits of the soap operas that was part of 80's life.
(Don't you notice that series dealing with revenge, jealousy, sex, murder in the 2000's have gone dark, negative, bloody, gaudy and depressing to get you into a reality-like tormented time? That's why Glee became a hit -- cos it brought back the joy of the 80's with all those melodious, rhythmic 80's music and joy!)
Who can forget Dallas, Dynasty, The Colbys, Knots Landing....and Flamingo Road. I loved this series, especially because I could swoon over Mark Harmon. And Constance (Morgan Fairchild) was the most beautiful bad...ass I ever seen.
The chemistry between Mark Harmon and Morgan Fairchild was swooning and heating up this innocent teenage girl. Alas, I think it was short-lived cos the series disappeared from my TV screen after a few episodes!

My Teenage Heartthrob - Ralph Macchio
Oh, Ralph, my macho, macho guy,
You were buried when my teenage sighs
Left me as adulthood came
And so it's adulthood years I blame
For the memory loss of my teenage crush
Crazy over you, I missed you very much.
Eight is Enough, I think it was on TV every Monday night. Oh, it was one of my favourites and I could not miss a single episode, especially after Ralph arrived! He was absolutely cute and that was when I decided I would only like Italian boys. And I loved pretty Nancy, played by Dianne Kay.
And then came Karate Kid 2. Hated the Japanese girl he was in love with.
I wished I was her! I really wanted to marry him.
I had forgotten all about him until I was told that he's on Dancing With The Stars. So thank you to youtube, here's sharing with you a really charming, young almost-50 Ralph Macchio!!!
