Reminds me of Michael Caine's quote about his role in Jaws 2: “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”
Whoops. To be fair, I haven't seen the movie, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the likes the post gave me, and they are terrific.
Believe me, I was there in the 80's too... Mom's napping on the couch at 2pm on a Sunday, and the only thing on is Rock & Rule...
It is bad. You are rescuing 90 minutes of your time by doing so. I watched it because as a kid we watched everything back in the 80's. There was no internet at that time. We had our bicycles, video games, movies, and sports (when it wasn't raining).
Dad was usually painting (like art) on the weekends; that was his job. They were doing a crazy 24-hour-a-day schedule where they microslept for half an hour several times a day. It was interesting for the kids though because there were long swaths of our weekends that were completely unsupervised.
