That '80s Show (Wednesdays, 8 p.m. E.T.) is less a spin-off than a brand extension. Its characters never appeared on '70s, but it promises the same kind of pop-reference-intensive humor, this time with Miami Vice jackets, wine coolers and Rubik's Cubes. "The timing just fell together," says co-creator Linda Wallem. "All the radio stations were doing '80s at Noon. MTV had just celebrated its big [20th] anniversary."

...your old record player. It's probably somewhere down there in the basement behind your broken-down Betamax, a Rubik's Cube or two, and a vinyl copy of Synchronicity. Cue up a record, and let it play. Congratulations--you're a musician. There may even be a spot for you on the rap-rock Family Values Tour...
