Name that Classic 1980s TV Show
The second of the series of this series about classic TV shows. You'll get a description of the show then you must name it. Simple enough right? I went easy on you with the 1970's, so you are going to have to pay for that in the 1980's with lots of cartoon shows that sound more made up then real!
