And you could only go to three different time periods, when would you go back to? Keep in mind, you couldn't change history, just visit it. However, you can still interact with people.

1. The inauguration of George Washington. 1789.
2. The building of my house. Back in 1957. It would be cool to see my house in various stages of undress.

3. My birthday back on December 16th of 1981. See what the actual day was like.

I would love to go back to the year 1978; I was two and a half at the time, but I would love to go back as an adult and seek a few people out and go out night clubbing with them at the local discos in the Los Angeles area (Hollywood); then I would love to see a live taping of a few of my favorite shows that were popular at the time, Good times, Three's Company..maybe at the taping of the show Three's Company..I can go up to John Ritter and give him a big hug...Then I will love to drive around the Hollywood Hills area in a 1978 Mercedes 450 SL searching for the man I so desire...

M82A1 · 12-02-2003, 10:42 PM

I think I would go back to the Tertiary period, 65 to 3 million years ago, December 7th, 1941 to witness the attack at Pearl Harbor, and September 11th, 2001 to witness the attack on the World Trade Center.

PZelda · 12-02-2003, 10:57 PM

To 1967 to watch a taping of The Carol Burnett Show then to the 1980's and I would live all through the 80's and be around when they started "Mama's Family" in 1983.

Nanny Fine · 12-02-2003, 10:59 PM

The era in which "GREASE" was created around (50's)

Sometime in the 70's to a TV Show taping (Kotter, WKRP, Taxi, Odd Couple - something!)

April 22, 1997 so I could see my Nunna and tell her how much I loved and apprecaited her 1 more time before she died. She was so good to me and my daughter and our lives are so much worse off without her. I love her and miss her to this day just as much as I loved her when she was here. She was more of a mother to me than my own mother is.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 12-02-2003, 11:03 PM

Around 1989 (the year I was born)...to see both of my Grandpas who died when I was only little and get to know them because I never really got to

Anytime in the 1970's...it's probably one of my favorite time periods and it'd be cool to experience some of it.

Around 1994-95...I miss that time when I was a little kid...but I'd wanna go back and actually be a little kid. It's so much easier and I miss it so much.

Does taking my VCR back to the late 80s and early 90s to record classic Nick count?

I would also like to go back to Minneapolis on November 24, 1988. For Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans that date should be familiar. It was the day the series was first broadcast. The two episodes featured Gerry Anderson's famous supermarionation movies "Invaders From the Deep" and "Revenge of the Mysterons". "Invaders from the Deep" was actually four episodes of the British series "Stingray" strung together. "Revenge of the Mysterons" was four episodes of "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" put together. Unfortunately, the local station that aired the episodes, KTMA TV 23, didn't have a lot of money and they could not afford to acquire the rights to the movies shown. It wasn't until the 4th episode of the season that several individuals got into the series and began taping it. No fan copies of the first three episodes have circulated and the KTMA episodes can't be shown on television for legal reasons since no rights were acquired for the movies aired. I would also like to go back to August 12, 1984 at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. It was on that day that possibly the ugliest bench-clearing brawl in baseball history took place between the San Diego Padres and the Atlanta Braves. You can read more about this at the following thread.

Not only does it count, but I think I'll join you.

Yeah that would be awsome to tape shows that no longer exsist. Like the 1st season of MST3K, as you mentioned.

Rickenbacker · 12-02-2003, 11:43 PM

18th century Europe. Why? So I could get daily eye doses of the women who wore clothes like this!

Probably not. But it was the norm of the day...& I still want my one-way ticket.

Ewan's My Man · 12-03-2003, 12:23 AM

1899...Paris...Moulin Rouge...I wanna see the clothes...they were gorgeous

1972ish...my mom would be 10 but it would mainly be so I can meet my Grammy before she got sick, and I dunno when she got sick but she had cancer and she died in like...83?

Hmmm...when else...oh...yesterday...so I could call Alanna and ask her to tape something for me when my power went out.

sinatrastar · 12-03-2003, 12:41 AM

Dallas, 11-22-1963.

dandelion wine · 12-03-2003, 12:47 AM

October 2, 1974 - I'd also like to see what was happening on the day I was born.

The 70s - Just to experience what it was like to be alive at that time, as an adult.

The mid to late 80s - Just to relive it!

Technically, that would also change history. Even if it is a minuscule part of it.

Anyway...

1. England...mid/late 50s. I wanna see Richard Dawson before he was Richard Dawson.
2. Late 60s...just cos it was cool.
3. 70s...Hollywood. Duh.
