Everything is this list is a big +1.
I still remember putting the old, washed milk bottles outside for the milkman when I was a child. And using those foil caps for so many projects in primary school!
Back in the 80's, there was such a sense of community. Like you mentioned, neighbours knew each other, and kept an eye out for each other. That sort of thing just doesn't happen today, and its a real shame.
Whether its just people don't care anymore, or they are too worried about being liable if anything happens (theft, damage to property,etc) while you are away, or even too scared (with how seemingly normal people are in fact complete psychos!) its just really a shame that we have lost our close knit communities.
HATRED FOR JAMES VAN DER BEEK RISING!

It's like the movies of the day aimed at teenagers. They featured plenty of bad language, drug use, violence and gratuitous sex. Imagine if movies like that were released today
Quite frankly I'm amazed that Hunger Games was released considering it features kids violently murdering each other.

Anyone miss cracker night?
So what do we NOT miss from the 80s? My list would be:
* People smoking indoors and just more rampant smoking in general.
* Tobacco advertising.
* People incinerating their rubbish in their backyards.
* No recycling, and those little galvanised metal non-wheelie rubbish bins.
* Star Wars Episode 4.5 <--- warning: watching this film will hurt your brain

It was pretty decent, although Muppet monsters stuffing things in their maws is still my favourite thing about the Muppet Show.
Apart from what had already been said here it seems a lot of people have forgotten about COPS.
This cartoon was really good. Animation was awesome.
