The Weekly Links: ABC Order 'The Muppets' & 'Uncle Buck TV Shows, Slash Wants GNR Reunion, Brief History Of PG-13

Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! My favorite part of the week is here, when I transform into Valerie Vomit and puke all of my links onto RD80s in true Garbage Pail Kids style. You just have to remember to not get caught with them at school.

In case you missed it, here are a few things I posted this week on RD80s:

• 7 Times Kenner Failed To Use The Force In Star Wars Toy Commercials
• Netflix '80s Fix: Hero and the Blue Velvet Brothers In Little China
• Rank 'Em: The Top 5 Cartoons of 1985
• Documentary Reveals 'The Secret History of the Cabbage Patch Kids'

My pick for video of the week is another "realistic audio" montage that removes the music from the famous warehouse scene in Footloose. Maybe I'm easily amused but I find these hilarious. It really proves how much we connect music with visuals and this is no exception.
