I thought somebody might have a go at this, but I didn't think it would be you, Hecc. You usually think before you speak. Oh well.
As much as I hate to use wikipedia as a reference, it's the easiest way. Specifically:
Personally, I never found Siefeld in the least bit funny, but that's a matter of opinion.

edit: I lost respect for my print rep when he said, no, his son Chandler's name was not a family name. He got it from Friends...
Young ones was funny, for an import.
The Simps tackled the 90s in a flashback episode the other night. Anyone see it? Pretty good ep.

As for the Young Ones. I enjoyed that when I was in high school but I recently tried to watch it again and found it unbearable. I don't know. Personally I don't think it held up at all. This is coming from someone who liked it quite a bit in my early teens.

Pogoball blaster! now that is early 1990s and is different from now, as I've mentioned before.
Seinfeld had so many elements of humour, and did it all well. Observational, physical with kramer..... Sarcasim was not the main element I don't think.
Seinfeld also introduced the power of part time roles, more so than any other show I believe.
The crazy mechanic, newman, soup nazi, ugly baby parents, bubble boy, susan's loser family, elaines dad, pool boy, man hands, the close talker, mr pitt etc....
It really was a great show. One episode Jerry is training his prize cock fighter, the next George is responsible for bomb scares at yankee stadium, another time Kramer decides to play host to japanese tourists, Elaine is running around going nuts for her crazy boss.
Show went all over the place!

Other roles: that lawyer guy (Jackie Chiles), J. Perelman, Mr. Pitt, Banion, Jerry's parents, PUTTY. It's really a very long list.

filthy rich and catflap, the comic strip prestents, bottom (oh crap that was 90s.... cover up, cover up). But Blackadder was also an 80s thing... but to skip out of England for a moment... Sledgehammer, Married with children, Fraggle Rock, the was some cool shit going on.
Also...
80s = Empire strikes back
90s = Phantom menace
(I already know what the defence is going to be to this, but Return of the Jedi was still better than anything 'related' that came out afterwards, and i don't care what anyone says I don't remember any "ewok movies" what are you talking about).
but like i said before, the 80s produced alot of experimental and new things, where the 90s was bit more formula. Not just in films but music. Anything worthwile in the 90s was generally underground and without funding.
oohhh... James cameron
80s = the terminator, Aliens, the Abyss,
90s = True Lies, Titanic (and terminator 2 may have has awsome effects, but the original was better)
and Rutger Hauer
80s = Bladerunner, the Hitcher, Ladyhawk, Blind Fury
90s = I really don't remember... people were too busy tripping over themselves to put Leonardo DiCaprio in things...

I resent that implication, barend. As a huge Bad News fan (something that I think holds up a bit better) I do happen to know other things about that team.

Good lord.
See... Bad News = 80s.
Do you have the Bad News Album?
no.
just that the 80s brought out the best in Cameron, and the 90s the worst.
And there's nothing wrong with being obsessed with Ninjas.
Although, i must admit that the 80s wasn't the best decade for Doctor Who.
