(Finished February 2nd, 2026) Part 6 of Fun and Joyous Songs of the 80s

Hello,

When I'm just watching TV, watching a show set in space in the 23rd century I don't think I'm about to hear a song from the 80s. That would be the 1980s. Out of nowhere comes Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go". But sure enough there it was and I was reminded of the universality of 80s music. Even when I try I can't escape it. Here are some great and fun songs from the 80s. 

This show was Season 3, episode 2 "Wedding Bell Blues" and I hate to say how boring that episode was. Also the end of the episode suggested what the next episode would be about. I have no desire to see that episode. I've pretty much given up on that show.

There are so few sci-fi shows that are great. So far I've been enjoying the bizarre "Pluribus". It's bizarre in a very entertaining way though. I also have been enjoying "Welcome To Derry". I need a good show to watch with about 50 episodes I can just watch without spending time looking for something to watch.
