Yes, I did like the trip down memory lane, but AH> DP> show itself was only so-so to me. AH> AH> I agree -- I felt the same way. Most of the show felt like a shameless AH> rip-off of multiple 80s films. I will admit they brilliantly combined all AH> those references. AH> AH> I really couldn't stand Winona Ryder's character. Yeah, I could not stand her. She seemed to get a bit better later on, but initially, she just played the over-the-top crazy cat lady. I didn't care for Michael either. He was just too whiny for me. But yeah, it was like a mish-mash of 80's movies. Goonies, Super8, Pretty in Pink, E.T., Mazes and Monsters, Alien, and others. AH> I DID appreciate the ham radio reference -- the Heathkit Ham Shack! I remember Heathkit. We had a store in town. I think I bought a crystal radio there. I'd 'ride my bike' to it, then afterwards I would detour to Tower Records to buy some vinyl records.
