I plowed through this in two nights. I really enjoyed it. I'm about five years too young for a lot of the early 80s nostalgia to truly resonate with me in a memorable way, but there are a lot of echoes of the culture that I remember.
Also, Steve is a dead ringer for Jean Ralphio.

Don't worry - most of the people nostalgic for the 80s didn't live through them either. It's not so much a decade as a series of factoids scribbled onto idea balls for the Family Guy manatees to play with. |

Will wore black Adidas. Mike wore Pumas. Steve had the full leather tennis type, not the vinyl and suede running type.

- Blame yourself. I saw your post before I binged the show. So I'm watching the thing looking for the stuff you're pointing out.
I am disappoint. By the way, was anyone else surprised that 11 was a girl? I flashed right through all the boys not wanting [her] to take [her] shirt off without a thought, then they started talking about 'she, she, she. . . ' And even then I was like 'who the eff are they talking about?' Now that I see it, she is adorable, and very talented. Looks like she's been acting since younger than Drew Barrymore even. Looked her up on IMDB and she already has like 3 major series under her belt. But until they slapped a wig on her, I had no idea.

But come on, look at the picture above. Mike had more feminine features. Not a knock. They purposefully crafted her look as hard and wiry. Must've missed that bit of dialog.

I got a pair of Cortez's in '04 that were all white leather. with red trim on the soles. I loved those shoes.
Overall, I have to agree with BL that her look, especially early, was androgynous.

Here's an interesting fan theory that Steve is Jean Ralphios real father:
