There is a friendly rivalry between Twink and Starlite because each likes to think of himself as Rainbow's protector, but she has a way of joking them out of their jealousies. Rainbow Brite rescued him before he turned clear, and nursed him back to health. Twink is one of the only white Sprites- a fate which befell him when Murky Dismal threw him into The Pits where he lost his color.

He is so full of energy that he literally bounces in the air, sometimes hitting his head on tree branches or low-flying birds. He is Rainbow Brite's favorite Sprite and her high-energy sidekick. Twink is an adorable bundle of sweetness and silliness. It's his job to make Rainbow and her friends never run out of the Star Sprinkles that help them give color to the universe. He is the leader of all his fellow Sprites in Rainbow Land. Twink used to be red, until villain, Murky Dismal threw him into The Pits, which drained him of his colors. He is Rainbow Brite's sidekick and her favorite Sprite. "Dutchie" apparently means "Dutch oven," or cooking pot, but everyone knew that the song originally was "pass the kouchie," meaning a pot pipe.Twink is the deuteragonist of the Rainbow Brite series. So it's only fitting that the 1982 Musical Youth hit Pass the Dutchie plays while he's driving his van in episode four. Jonathan's new pal, Argyle, is a bit of a pothead. It ended in 1983, but a Ponch and Jon reference in 1986 is still plenty cromulent.
In a scene where the Byers' house is being guarded by local cops, Jonathan sneeringly asks Mike and Will if they're worried about "Ponch and Jon out there." Ponch and Jon, of course, were the stars of CHiPs, the drama about two hunky members of the California Highway Patrol. If I had a dollar for every time I loaded the reel in upside-down, I could've probably bought a house at 1986 prices.
Yes, that's how we used to research things back in the day before newspapers put much of their archives online. Nancy and Robin head to the public library to look up the Creel murders on microfilm. Kennedy is eternally president.ĭon't blink or you might miss it: A Rubik's Cube shows up in front of Steve in a second-episode scene at the video store. In the set of World Book encyclopedias that my parents had, printed in 1962, John F. (Ask any 1980s kid who had to do a last-minute book report after the library was closed.) They were helpful as heck, but became outdated before they hit your shelves. Telemarketing was one of the few jobs that could be done from home back in the 1980s, and encyclopedia sets were still something many homes had. Joyce Byers is seen desperately trying to sell encyclopedias over the phone. I remember owning a heart-shaped cloissone lapel pin with a rainbow and my name (misspelled, duh), and putting a rainbow sticker in my bedroom window, much to my parents' chagrin when it was discovered it didn't really peel off easily.
Long before the rainbow became associated with the LGBT community, it had a renaissance in late 1970s/early 1980s decor. Young Eleven and the other experiment kids have a playroom called the "rainbow room," for its colorful wall paint.
