1. I was at work though, trying to speed through it before the nosy freaks I work with came into my office.

76, and grew up watching mostly PBS. Some of the questions were quite misleading, for example: Who was the leader of the Transformers? Without specifying Autobots or Decepticons, both Optimus Prime AND Megatron are correct answers.
Uh OK that was super nerdy, I’m leaving now… 😉

86, and what’s with no Miami Vice questions? C’mon, that was the coolest show in the 80’s…
Okay, I just realized what a geek I sound like. Move on citizen.

1. I, too, kicked ass in the music department. I think that I should get extra points considering that I only really remember from about 1985 onward. 😉

Another 86 here. Nailed all of the music, but some of the obscure television got me.

Argh!
I am too much of a geek.
I scored “Members Only” 100 out of 100
I attribute this to a) living through the 80’s and liking it b) doing most of the “Do you remember the 80’s” email quizzes my friends send me and most of all c) some crazy guessing on the few I didn’t know.
But hey…I get to link to this cool members only graphic:

Woooo me! (I need help)

Yep, 74. Not bad for someone who tanked most of the television questions. Were there no Madonna questions or did I simply pass them over?

1. I was busy raising kids in the 80’s. Now, if there had been questions such as “who were Pooh’s friends?”, I would have aced it.

1. I kicked on music and “potpurri” :rolleyes:, sucked on TV, and was okay with the movies.

He was the “Beverly Hills Cop”.

79 Here. That makes me a “BRAT PACKIAN.” Ah, memories of a young Ally Sheedy. Sigh.

My question is cliffy was in The Empire Strikes back?!?!?

Score: **79**
Rank: **Brat Packian**
Judging from the above, however, it looks like I’m a Jr. Brat Packian.
Apparently my knowledge of college party flicks is anemic.
