TriviaHow well do you know the 1980s? Take our 80s Icons Quiz & prove your memory is sharp! The 1980s was a transitional decade for many celebrities. As cable expanded, so did America's thirst to get all the juicy news about their favorite stars. Tabloids such as The National Enquirer dug up dirty scoops on actors, politicians and other famous figures. Affairs that used to be private were now front-page news.
Shows such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous revealed the giant mansion and glamorous getaways for some of the globe's richest people. On the flip side, Cops documented a rougher world some TV viewers had never experienced before. In between those two extremes, 80s TV celebrated sitcoms like Cheers and Newhart, police dramas and sci-fi adventures, Captain Picard, anyone?
