Leaving the house in the morning to play with your friends and not coming home until the street lights came on.
"Creature Feature" ,,,Here Come the Brides...The Love Boat...The Banana Splits on tv.
Everyone walking to school and the worst embarrassment is having your mom or dad walk with you.
Trick or Treat started ON HALLOWEEN when it got DARK OUTSIDE.
GI Joe was 12" tall
Major Matt Mason
Staying home from school when you are sick and laying on the couch, drinking 7Up from a bottle and watching daytime tv which consisted of the morning movie (with jackpot questions during the commercials) and game shows later on. Let's Make a Deal with Monte Hall..Password...What's My Line0 -

Kids would leave out on their bikes and ride all day until the street lights came on and our parents never worried about us (or had cell phones they could call).
Playing Frogger ALL night.
Going to a game room (because we didn't have games we could play on our cell phones)
Microwave ovens cost like $10,000 (not really, but it was a lot)
Disc players and cameras
Shawn Cassidy was the hottest guy you'd EVER seen and every girl you knew had a t-shirt with him on it
Cordless phones were as big as your head
Evil Kineval was cool0 -
I remember MTV coming on the air.
When most TVs were black and white.
When Star Trek first aired.
That Michelle and Help Me, Rhonda came out in the first year.
Party lines.
When doors were left unlocked and you could count on the neighbours keeping you to the same rules your parents did, and telling them when you 'acted up'
Record players that played 45, 33 1/3 and 78

I used to tape TV shows that my faves were on on my portable cassette - see aboveWhen a song was coming to an end on the radio, waiting by the boombox with your finger on the record button so you didn't miss your new fav song!
YES!!! or hitting the record button quick enough so you got enough song but no radio broadcasters in it talking LOL!!!

I'll bet my Pog collection would put yours to shame. Also you know what I remember, My super effective method of getting my nintendo cartridges to work. blow into the cartridge using your shirt as a filter and smack your knee with it 3 times.
I did that too.. well, without smacking my knee! The question is, why would you do it three times? :laugh:
first couple of times was out of anger, then I realized it worked.0 -
I remember when I was 18 years old and paid only $.87 cents for regular gas, not regular unleaded but just regular gas. I didn't drive a car that used unleaded gas. I remember when you'd blow into your Nintendo games then hit them up against something to get them to start working again, and using pencils to tighten the loose tape in your music cassette or BETA or VHS tapes. I remember BETA and had plenty of them. I also remember when VHS videos came out to purchase and were always like $89. WTF? And I remember being stupid enough to pay that price for them. I remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school and having to say Amen afterwards. I remember the Big Blue Marble and Land Of The Lost, my favorite show ever haha. I remember going to the opening of Fantasia in the theaters. I remember the original Weebles, Stretch Arm Strong, Lincoln Longs, Shrinky Dinks, Sea Monkeys, Simon, Light Bright and Easy Bake Oven. Now they're all lame and nothing like their oldschool versions. I remember the day when we actually had to go to the arcade to play video games. TRON was the *kitten*! That WAS my game, I loved it. I remember when we used microfiche and remember having to search through the old school file cabinets and card catalogs in the library to find my books. I remember when roller skating WAS the *kitten* and remember Roller Boogie. I was so in love with Jason Bray? It think that was his name haha. Wow, so many things but not enough time.0

I love your selection here and have all of that on box set dvds minus Alf who I hated lol but my brother LOVED. Mork and Mindy I watched but don't own it or Punky Brewster but watched her too. LOVE The Fact of Life and have re-watched seasons 1,2 and 3 at least 10 times. Xanadu is still one of my all time fav movies and 16 Candles. Was sooooo in love with "Jake Ryan" in that movie lol and how cute did "Farmer Ted" get as he grew up and started acting on the HBO show The Dead Zone which I love! Life was amazing back in those days. Our music kicked *kitten*. Every male singer from that era had a good voice and the TV shows were awesome. AND we had Space Invaders and Galaxy and Tron!

Bay City Rollers
Are you kidding me, its awesome that we still remember all these lyrics. If only I would of applied myself in school like that I'd be some high flootin' executive right now lol. I love all those TIME magazine CD's where you get like 10 cd's for $100 and all of the One Hit Wonders from back in the day on 10 discs. Music was amazing back then, all of it. Even if you didn't like the genre, the musicians and vocalists had some integrity back then and it was about the music and not the producers like it is nowadays. And everyone had a good voice no matter what they sang, who they were, male of female. Singers were good, period 0 -
