Boy I am really old!

[Janice Johnson]

I am old because

I remember when milk ads used to air on commercials and the slogan was "Milk does a body good."

I watched new episodes of Doogie Howser, 21 Jump Street, and The Wonder Years.

Michael Jackson was a majorly loved icon when I was born and about everyone loved him.
(Michaelmania ).

Burger King's slogan was, "Your way right away."(It was a jingle).

I remember when McDonald;s slogan was "What you see is what you get at McDonald's today.

I remember McDonald's Arch Deluxe burger.

I remember when KFC used to be called Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I remember when their was competition between cable and satellite and cable companies aired, "Down with satellite dishes. Up with cable!"

I remember when most home computers had no internet and computer games were the main entertainment for the compputer. My computer also ran on DOS.

I remember the OJ Simpson trial from the time he was accused of killing Nicole and Ron to his acquittal.

I remember the Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown video they did.

I remember when Black Cat, Nasty, Straight Up and Cold Hearted videos were in heavy rotaion.

I watched the "new" show, Family Matters.

I watched the "new" show, Full House."

I watched the Arsenio Hall show.

I remember when they first came out with Caller ID and I remember when they first had the BIG cellphones. You know, the ones that look bigger than cordless phones.

When I was growing up, NOBODY had minature cellphones like they did today. They had the big chunky cellphones. I think that's called mobile phones.(see above)

When I was little, everybody either jammed to cassette players. CD players were not very popular yet.

I lived through Hurricane Andrew, and I can remember everything in detail.

I remember the children's show, Belle.

I remember watching The Little Mermaid when it first came out to video.

I watched Aladdin in a movie theater.

I watched The Lion King in a theater too.

In my elelmentary school,students watched Darkwing Duck and Tales spin.

When I had to look for books at the library, I had to do it manually, by looking through the library;s wooden catalogue.(the one that is NOT electronic).

I remember watching a KFC commercial that had Carly Simon's voice singing "Nobody Does It Better" as the voiceover song.

I remember watching the children's show, "Alice In Wonderland".

I remember when TV used to go out at night and would stay out through the early morning. I remember seeing "Snow" and "the vertical color lines that had a buzz sound to them " on my TV where there should be a show.

I remember when the TV Guide used to be the Prevue Channel.

I remeber when The Weather Center used to be called The Weather Channel.

I remember when New Kids On The block were the hottest boyband around, and were big stars.

I had a gray Nintendos (AKA the original Nintendo)

I played with the origianl SEGA console(the black one)

I had a Super Nintendo came out.(AKA the "better" Nintendo, which quickly fazed out and gave way to the Nintendo 64, which later fazed out and gave way to the Nintendo game cube).

I remember the Tonya Harding ice skating scandal.

I remember when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear off.

you are not old. I am old.

I remember Michael when he was little boy in a group called THE JACKSON FIVE

When McDonalds had commercials starring JOHN AMOS from Good Times

When there were drive-inn movies...there was no cable or satellite t.v. we only had 13 channels.

there were only three networks: ABC, NBC and CBS

I remember watching the following shows when they first aired:

GOOD TIMES
WELCOME BACK KOTTER
HAPPY DAYS
LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY
GREEN ACRES
MASH
HERE'S LUCY
EMERGENCY
ETC. ETC. ETC.

I remember OJ Simpson playing football and running thru airports before he committed murder.

I remember watching Mike Douglas Show, Merv Griffin Show...

Cassettes???? I had 8-tracks!!!

There were no cell phones or pagers; only a phone that COULDN'T BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WALL; and when you had problems with your phone, a man from the phone company had to come out.

I remember milk being delivered to our doorstep.

There were NO VIDEO GAMES.

[Brieannas21]

LOL Great Thread, I remember all of those thing. I also remember on Saturday Mornings waking up and watching The Smurf, Muppet Babies, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Alvin & The Chipmunks.

I remember when we first got cable and The Mickey Mouse Club was the thing to watch along with Double Dare and Family Double Dare.

Wearing multiple braclets and Friendship bracelets

Wearing the MC hammer pants

Remember the BIG Bangs that every girl wore no matter what race you were, looked like a Ol' fan blade

Remember Roller Skates

The Ten Speed was the bike to have LOL

[MsOrange]

i can remember my daddy and papa taking me and my brother to see Bambi in the movie theaters.

[ponytail]

Ah we're not old. Those were my good old days! I remember the original Mickey Mouse Club, The Monkees tv show, sting-ray bikes, roller skates with a key, playing outside all day long.

[tv star collector]

You think you guys are old?? I can remember HOWDY DOODY, THE ROY ROGERS
SHOW, THE LIFE OF RILEY, THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW, Paul Winchell & Jerry
Mahoney, and the original DRAGNET (to name a few). George Reeves (not
Christopher Reeve) was Superman. There was a comic book based on nearly
EVERY popular TV show--and comics were sold everywhere (supermarkets,
drugstores, dime stores). Now some of you are saying "What's a dimestore?'
There were no CDs or even cassettes. We had phonograph records. and
the album art was HUGE (you didn't need a magnifying glass to see it). I
even remember the last years of the Golden Age of Radio, when you had to
use your imagination--there were no pictures. My favorite shows were BIG
JON & SPARKIE and THE LONE RANGER. There was drama, mystery, suspense,
comedy, and variety all on the radio dial. Today it's all music and commercials
and (yuck!) talk shows. The "good old days" were (in my opinion) pretty darn
good.

[Karen64]

Ahh, it's good to grow old!

I remember the Monkees (barely), Saturday morning Pink Panther cartoons, Schoolhouse Rock, & I saw Jaws in a movie theater!

A friend of the family had the Pong game when it first came out and I remember thinking how rich they must be; everyone would go over to their house to get a turn at playing Pong!

[Dude111]

I remember some of those things...........

[Caroline13]

MOST here don't know what Old is..

[biffbronson]

We're more than 17 years older than when this thread was created...! In fact, "tv star collector," whose post is here, has since died.

Seems like there's some unknown incentive to dig up very old threads and re-present them...

[Dude111]

Yes maybe we could ask TJ to change tv star collector's title to ETERNAL MEMBER (Thats what they do on CD to show respect and all)

I agree in that I hate seeing these threads from long ago brought back for no apparent good reason.

How do you know that TV Star Collector has died?

[Dude111]

Well I had a good reason to reply (Like the ones I replied to on your base earlier Jimmy)

Not to worry,things are ok!!
