I remember Lost in Space
Sid and Marty Croft hour
Having to walk up a hill both ways in the snow to/from school (for real you had to live more then a 1/4 mile away from school and we didn't)
The Elec. Company (where Morgan Freeman got his start)
The Hulk
all the orginal movies that they are doing remakes of now (ie escape to witch mt., the longest yard, planet of the apes)
Six million dollar man
Bionic woman
I dream of genie
Gillagans Island (Mary ann it's a guy thing)
I could go on and on but I will stop now because I am feeling

but I already know that I am

The geeky Mr Bean?????? Not sure if he is one of those sitcoms in Britian.

The BBS shows of Last of Summer Wine was very popular and still is today, despite of most of the actors were retired or passed on.

When you weren't affraid of who the ice cream man might be
Leaving the keys in your car
Never locking the house
Open campuses at school
When you could take a gun to school because you were going hunting after school let out
J.P. Patches and Gertrude
You could reprimand your kids for being obnoxius without fear of being called an abuser
Before cable TV
Carberators on cars
Real Muscle Cars not rice burners
Commodor Vic-20 Computer
Commodor 64 Computer
Pong, Targ, and the original Pac-Man and Donkey Kong
Mouse and Rat Motors
Lenco 5 speeds
Cutting, Splitting and Stacking a winters supply of firewood in the spring to season before the first snow fall (23 cords)
Operators placing calls
California Raisins Claymation Christmas
You knew what it meant when you had to go get a "Switch"
Rumble's
Kegger's
Flipper
Grizzly Adams
Here Come's The Brides
Wild Wild West
Watching Buzz Aldrin step onto the moon
Piston Powered Hydroplanes
Bag Phones
Childrens respect for elders
Getting "Swats" at school
Respect for teachers
You weren't affraid of being sued for anything
When a handshake was a contract
Less crime before capital punishment was abbolished
Televised Executions
When a doctor told you what was wrong
