Any topics you hope they'll cover?

They obviously have to do everything they've shown. Boombox, Cheers, Madonna, MJ, Berlin, John Hughes, MTV. Those are some of the very first things you think of. I'm wondering about stuff that could be worth discussing but might fall more in the Best of the Rest category. Like last year I wondered about the '77 NYC blackout and some were like 'No that was more of a local event.' but I figured because it coincided with Son of Sam it had to play part of a role in the city going nuts, on top of New York hitting rock bottom around that point from what I've heard. So some of my 80s hopes are these:

Tylenol Murders, although I'm assuming Ted Kaczynski is more likely.

Tootsie - 9 to 5 will probably come up, although I can't comment because I never saw it.

Fatal Attraction

Full Metal Jacket

Scarface

the fall of AMC - the crappiness of 80s cars in general

Lockerbie happened the day before I was born so I guess I wouldn't mind it being acknowledged. I'm more interested in the Menendez brothers though.

And Bosom Buddies purely because Hanks is involved in these!

I haven't seen National Geographic Channels 80s: The Decade That Made Us to know how well they documented the era. Their take on the 90s ended up being sorta silly. Really hope if this series does the 90s next summer they look into more than Lewinsky, Springer, Vanilla Ice, Lorena Bobbitt, and Nancy Kerrigan.

Really curious how they'll cover 1980 though since Carter's downfall was covered on The Seventies all the way to Inauguration Day in '81.
