Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The song "Addicted To Love" by Robert Palmer was featured in a segment for the 1987 episode, but it was actually released in the spring of 1986 and was one of the biggest songs of that year. 1987 was when he won the Grammy for it.

Quotes:

Michael Ian Black: Give me short skirts, give me roller skates, give me "Xanadu." I'm a happy man.

Not bad, one bone to pick however.....

Yeah, this show wasn't as tacky as I thought, but some of the people they chose to reminisce shouldn't have been on this; like Hootie from the Blowfish, or Beyonce Knowles: why couldn't they have more 80's actors like Tom Cruise or Sean Penn or Nic Cage or Molly Ringwald, etc? Anyhow, being an 80's child (1984)this brought back memories, particularly from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that show is so weak now that it's laughable; but the films of the 80's were among the best ever made. RISKY BUSINESS, BAD BOYS, RUMBLE FISH, AT CLOSE RANGE, FERRIS BUELLER's DAY OFF, and on and on and on, need I say more?
