| Comment | "MTV Music Television presents a two hour journey through the 80's with 'Decade.' The show is a reminiscence of the 80's as seen through and reflected in fashion, entertainment, pop culture and music. MTV interviewed Roseanne Barr ... and others as 'witnesses' to this chaotic and complicated period. It is through their stories, recollections, and personal points of view that the audience will review the 'Decade.' 'Decade' is not just a chronology of events tied together by hit records and remembered videos. 'Decade' explores our images and icons, successes and failures, as they have been both reflected and shaped by the passions, people and music of the Eighties."--1989 Peabody Award entry form excerpt.
