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 780 -
I remember when:
you had to call your parents using a pay phone
the first time My Little Ponies came out
Rainbow Bright and Strawberry Shortcake
Metal lunchboxes with matching thermos -- and you could beat anything with those things and they would maintain their shape!
Fashion Plates (Oh how I loved mine!)
Scrunchies
LA Gear hightops with 3 different color laces
When Kirk Cameron was the teen star to post on your wall

I remember playing dodge ball, red rover, ghost in the graveyard and swinging statues. Basically playing outside. I remember playing pinball and tetherball. Then pong came along. After that everything changed. I remember our first color TV.It still only had 4 channels and no remote. I remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance but not prayers.
My high school actually had a smoking section. That seems absurd now.0 -

We didn't even have to have a note. We could buy all the cigarettes we wanted... and stick around the local convenient store to play video games and smoke... when we were 13... I'll never forget the day my mama caught me with a pack of cigarettes. She made me take them back to the store. I was so embarrassed.0 -
