Temporada 1 (The Best Times)

Now That's Embarrassing: The 80s is another in the long line of Friday night list shows broadcast at 9pm on Five. The show follows on from other shows in the 'strand' such as The Most Shameful TV Moments Ever. True to its name, Now That's Embarrassing: The 80s features the most embarrassing or "cheesy" aspects from 1980s culture including the Minipops, MC Miker G & DJ Sven, Australian soap operas, the Sinclair C5 and Kajagoogoo amongst its targets. As with other shows of this type such as Channel 4's rival strand of the 2000s: the 100 Greatest shows, this strand features a rundown of popular clips with a number of vox pops from cultural historians and celebrities from the era in question.
