In case your not feeling old enough!

I'm 36....Big shows for me back then....Happy Days, Lavern & Shirley, The Jeffersons, The Facts of Life, One Day At A Time, Leave it to Beaver re-runs, The Munsters, The Adams Family....and one of my favorites....Zoom..."Come on an Zooma zooma Zooma ZOOM!".....and I was in LOVE with Shawn Cassidy and Andy Gibb... Oh my...I'm going back in time! I'm sure there's more.

LOL!

I loved the Dukes of Hazzard - Bo Duke was my big time childhood crush (and still is! ) and I also liked BJ and the Bear with Greg Evigan. Thats Incredible was another one of my favourites as well as Incredible Hulk, Misfits of Science - anyone remember that one - a very young Courtney Cox was in it.

OMG! Forgot about the Dukes of Hazzard! Smokey and the Bandit was a memorable flick then, too! ROTFL...my mind's-a-wonderin'

Jonathon Winters is a genius! And he is Robin Williams' idol. He is also slightly off center. Well, aren't we all?
I loved the Fonz. aaaaaaaay...
Hey, Heidi! I've been wanting to ask you--Have you seen the hotel from "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson?" I think it's in Colorado, right? I think I have that movie memorized. "Danny? Danny boy!" "Give me the bat, Wendy!" I'll stop there!

Aaaaaaaaaa!

I believe you can actually go and stay there - Jake and i wanted to go and stay there one day and so we looked it up - at the cost!

You can actually stay there....my neighbors did and they said it was AWESOME!!! Oooooooooo! I want to stay there, at least, once....one day....well, maybe a "Pop-In" would suffice...LOL!

I believe that its in Estes Park. Stephen King and his wife stayed there, once and it inspired the book.

You're right Cindy, it's in Estes Park, and Stephen King was so inspired by the hotel he came back and actually wrote the book there. I've been to The Stanley more times than I can remember, it is a beautiful old hotel. We went with some friends of ours to one of their Sunday champagne brunch, and it was great! The Shining movie with Jack Nickolson was actually filmed in a hotel in Switzerland, but the newer TV version was filmed on location at The Stanley. They have a whole part downstairs with props and photos from the TV version. They also say that the hotel is haunted, so the book may not be all that far off.....

Here's a couple pics of the hotel from the website: www.thestanleyhotelestescolorado.com

I remember when there were five TV stations. I remember GETTING UHF! I remember you could still call Wisconsin (I lived in Chicago suburbs) by saying Boulder 32759 (or whatever). !!!!!

I still have my typewriter! I remember when my neighbors got color TV - cartoons were so much more fun over there!

Anybody remember SCTV? The first season of Saturday Night Live? Fernwood Tonight? BTW - I loved Mork and Mindy. It was on at 4:00am on Nick at Night or something within the last couple of years, and we taped a whole bunch of episodes. When they had Jonathan Winter as their kid, Mearth, - too funny!

I saw Gone With The Wind on a cruise (my grandparents took my sister and I) - I still love it, and I think Clark Gable's a hunk!

I miss Walter Cronkite - but I don't remember Sputnik (the first manmade spacecraft to go into orbit).

I was born in 1963, and I turn 40 on Monday!



(gee, thanks Ken. )

"...and I used to walk 100 miles to school each morning..." !!!! :tounge2:

People have said that when Walter Cronkite was reporting a problem like Apollo 13 or the Cuban missile crisis, we knew everything would turn out all right. He was the most trusted man in America. And mostly, they were right! However, I remember his voice breaking when he announced that President Kennedy was dead. Even Walter could not stop that tragedy.

Speaking of the 80s, i just saw a commercial for care bears - they are back! Anyone remember them?

I am 27 and love Mork and Mindy and I have seen Gone with the wind a million times at least.
I loved the list though. Put in perspective.

A big difference between the 20th century and the 21st century: the news is now being sold and marketed, it is no longer being reported.

I think we all suffer because of that.

No, Walter Cronkite couldn't change the news. But he looked for the truth, called it as he saw it, and shared it with the world. Now news rooms have to turn a profit, and the truth gets lost.

Feeling old today!

Happy birthday, early Laurie. Monday is my middle brother's 40th birthday, too. HE keeps insisting that he's going to be 39, though. I know better - I changed his diapers!

I remember seeing the Beatles, on the Ed Sullivan show. I was 6 and in first grade. Mom was appalled and Granny thought they were harmless. I had a crush on Ringo.

WOW!!!! What a blast from the past!!!! And boy do I feel old now! :laughing: I am 37...and I remember all those old TV shows Kim! I don't remember if anyone mentioned this one, but do you remember "The courtship of Eddies father?" I loved that one...and "Family Affair" (and it wasn't about extra marital sex...:LOL: ) And Kellye, I too loved the "Incredible Hulk"!!!!
And I can't forget my all time favorite...."All In The Family"!!!!
Oh, and "Sanford and Son"

Laurie...Happy Birthday early in case I miss the Birthday thread Monday!!!!

Kellye..I remember Care Bears! I had one once! I think I was 18 then! But I still loved them!!! One of my best friends bought one for Amber last August when she was born, that's the first I had seen of them for years!!!! Cool!!!!!!!!

LOL!


Hey Debby -

Let's not forget Chico and the Man....I loved that show!!!!!!!!!!! What's scary is that I still remember lyrics to all of these shows, does everyone else?

LOL. ...Stirring up all of these memories had made me remember a lot of funny things from my younger days......

This is better than Trivial Pursuit!

I think the only two TV show songs I'll never get out of my head are Gilligan's Island and the Beverly Hillbillies!

OH YEAH!! Them, too!! I forgot!

LOL!
