Timeline: 1987 - Iran-Contra, The Girl In the Well and The Untouchables

Ойын-сауық

Welcome to Weird History's Timeline 1987. We're taking a look at the news, culture, sports, and entertainment during the year 1987. Going back to '87, the materialistic 80s would see a slew of corruption, from PTL to Ivan Boesky to the Iran-Contra Affair. But there would be some uplifting moments - rescuing Jessica McClure from a well, the release of "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles", as well as the signing of the Nuclear Arms Treaty. Sit back and enjoy a recap of 1987, one of the most exciting years of the 80s!

    Broly The Sarcastic Savage There are new TV shows that would be considered far more offensive than married with children. “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia” is incredibly popular and it’s about a group of friends that are alcoholic sociopaths and pathological liars. Networks just don’t broadcast shows like that around primetime anymore because the amount of complaints they got are more trouble than its worth. No more people are offended now, than ever used to be. The offended now just have more platforms to voice their stupidity.

    recline69 IASIP has always been far funnier than married with children. I wasn’t comparing the shows on any level other than the fact that both have the ability to offend people. Sunny more so. I was making the point that tv shows aren’t necessarily any less offensive now than in the past. There are also no more offended people than there were when married with children first aired. They just have the internet, so you see and hear them now.

    I'm a nurse who works with geriatric patients who suffer from dementia, and its truly amazing to talk to them and hear about how the world was when they were young. One of my patients was born in 1928, he now mostly lives with memories of serving in the military during the Korean War, but he has told me some amazing stories of growing up in the depression Era, and how our home town was mostly farms(now more of a city area), and has even taught me a lot about my great-grandfather and grandfather as they were both dead by the time I was born in the late 80s. I'm have learned so much from my patients and how the world really was all those years ago.

People turn everything. But when the song was written they said we use the phrase "nice shot" all the time, like people that throw something in a garbage can. Sorry didn't mean the history lesson there, my brother and I were teens in the 90s and we saw them live. I lost my brother to suicide 6 yrs ago.
