I guess I'm a young'n. My first memory is watching the Challenger incident (and yes, I did watch it first-hand, we had just moved to Florida). I remember the Berlin wall coming down, and owning vinyl records. I had two Michael Jackson albums: Bad and Thriller. My senior year of high school, the freshmen didn't even know what vinyl albums were. I remember Thundercats and Silverhawks, and when Robotech was something still relatively new and impressive. I remember Family Ties and Back to the Future (before there were parts II and III). I remember having an Atari Super Pong, the one with four games on one machine, and it was good. I remember the NES coming out, and it was good. I remember the SNES coming out and me not getting one, and it was BAD :D. I may not be old, but I remember stuff some people on this board may not have ever heard of.

God, now I feel REALLY old.
A-Team? Airwolf? Those were late. How about The Incredible Hulk and the Dukes of Hazard and Barny Miller and Lavern and Shirly and the Electric Company (do you think maybe I watched too much T.V. as a child)? Strangely, everything after 1980 seems so much later than the 70's. For some reason, When I see A New Hope, it seems old, but ROTJ seems recent. It must be something about age five or six.

And Voltron sucked. They didn't even kill anybody, they were all robots, even the women and children.
