🎄 80s Retroblast: Remember Pinocchio’s Christmas (ABC, 1980)? Rankin/Bass gave us a non-Disney Pinocchio in full Animagic glory. AND it was Todd Porter’s national TV debut before he became Ham on Whiz Kids. A weird, wonderful holiday deep cut! 🪵✨🎁
#OnThisDay in 1980, Rankin/Bass’ Pinocchio’s Christmas premiered on ABC! A non-Disney take on Collodi’s tale featuring the national TV debut of Todd Porter (later “Ham” on Whiz Kids). 🎄
Pinocchio faces his first Christmas, the Fox & Cat, a puppet show, and a lesson about the real meaning of giving.

🎶 80s Retroblast: On this week in 1985, Starship’s “We Built This City” hit #1 in America! 🏙️✨

Love it or love to poke fun at it, this glossy, high-energy anthem became one of the decade’s most iconic (and most debated!) hits. Pure 80s. 💥

I've been listening to The Gamersician's awesome music lately and I followed Retroblast to Bluesky when Pat left Dead Bird. Longtime listener at this point. Bring the two together (as we've already noticed fir a few episodes already) and you know it's gonna be great.

Sept 16, 1984, NBC launched the stylish, neon-soaked Miami Vice — a cop show that redefined TV. Don Johnson & Philip Michael Thomas became icons, Jan Hammer’s theme ruled the charts. TV was never the same. 🚤🎶

RetroBlast really helped me realize how extensive and knit-together the gaming discussion community is here on Bluesky, it’s something I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it on any other social media site

Content creators, podcasters, and just people who like talking about games, it’s awesome

📺 Debuting #OnThisDay in 1983: 𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨 (ABC). Lorimar swapped 𝘋𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘴 drama for small-town Iowa, with neighbors juggling 'traditional' vs 'modern' family life. Short run, but a very different kind of 80s 'clean' soap. #80sTV #RetroBlast #ForgottenTV
