The 80s hype is picking up speed. Long hair, quality content, and, most importantly — 80’s sitcoms — are becoming popular each day. They are like the grandparents of our modern comedies. They defined the rules for series like Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Long forgotten, these sitcoms are having a renaissance.
Unlike the 80s movies, sitcoms will glue you to your seat for over a day. You might lose track of time while watching them.
