The 1980s

S1 E7: It's the decade best remembered for big hair, big phones and big personalities. But go beyond the fluff and you'll find a decade that impacts us still today. An 18 month-old baby will forever change television news. One single phone call will ignite a technological revolution. And a video game character causes Americans to alter how we spend our free time. Pick up your Rubik's Cube and put on those leg warmers, it's time to re-examine the decade that changed everything--the 1980s.
