Re-Education Camp Cafe: Flashback 1982 Edition
1982, the year in review.
So many enduring movies came out in 1982:
Blade Runner , Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan , John Carpenter's The Thing , Tron (well okay Tron's not really "enduring") , Rocky III (aka My Favorite Rocky) , First Blood...
TV shows debuting in 1982. First up: Square Pegs. Which is a show that everyone remembers, but I'm not sure anyone actually watched it. (Past the first episode.)
I think The Waitresses did the show's theme.
Speaking of...
The top songs of 1982.
Commercials of 1982.
Saturday morning cartoons and the commercials that ran on Saturday mornings in 1982.

There's an Ozzy Osbourne song (Flying High Again) at the end of that.
Update: Commenters point out that 1982 was the year that Colecovision debuted.
