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 . I may not be old, but I remember stuff some people on this board may not have ever heard of.

Why isn’t that ever an issue of politics? Because you don’t live in a democracy. You live in a plutocracy. Money rules.

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.Kelly Antilles wrote:Don't forget A-Team, Airwolf, THE ORIGINAL Voltron (man, I loved them), ZOOM,... when Sesame Street was just fun, not about political correctness,... I remember Regan and Lennon and when John Belushi od'd. I remember exactly where I was when Challenger exploded. I vaguely remember Watergate. And Patty Hurst. Man walked on the moon when I was a young child.
God, now I feel REALLY old.
And Voltron sucked. They didn't even kill anybody, they were all robots, even the women and children.
