I remember all of them. At least my memory is still good in my old(er) age.

I remember everything in the list. Only one I wasn't crazy about was Star Trek ... my older brother hogged the TV for that one.

Didn't view colour TV until the late 70's.

I still like to watch reruns of old westerns like Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Guns of Will Sonnet, Rifleman, The Big Valley, etc.

Throw Champion the wonder horse in that list and I'll fetch the popcorn :)

I remember the final episode of MASH very well. I cried but looking back not sure all the tears were for the show or that it was ending.

I'm old enough that all those things were in my lifetime....but I don't remember the moon landing and I wasn't old enough to be watching MASH when it first premiered (at least not for my parents to let me watch it) Surprisingly I do remember when Star Trek was on NBC....my dad watched it all the time and I remember hating it (I was a 3 year old girl....what do you expect?)

Not only do I remember the GOOD Saturday morning cartoons (Overture! Curtain! Lights! This is it you've hit the heights!...) ....but how many of you remember "Schoolhouse Rock"....and I bet the generation that grew up watching Schoolhouse Rock is the only American generation who can STILL recite the Preamble to the US Constitution.

TVs and stereos with vacuum tubes....oh yeah...my sister got a stereo with a turntable and 8 track player for Christmas one year. She used to lay on the bedroom floor with a pillow between both speakers blaring directly into her ears. Spent her afternoons listening to Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead. I'm surprised she still has any hearing at her age. I STILL have my TV that I bought when I graduated college in 1989....19" portable. 25 years old and it has finally started to act a bit funny so I think it doesn't have too much life left in it.....

This reminds me of something I think I mentioned here before. There is a really cool website http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/] called the Mindset List and it is a sampling of things to demonstrate how the incoming students of a college see things so differently from the school staff that are older then them. I think some of these lists are really fascinating....and they make me feel damned old!!!

I am clearly older than the rest of you. I don't remember Saturday morning cartoons as a child because I lived in the boonies and we had no tv available until I was in junior high. When I was little, we went to the movies every week, saw the film (always something old, usually western), a newsreel, and a cartoon. I own the entire Lone Ranger series, lots of Casper the friendly ghost, and some old Tom and Jerry. Gas was about 14cents when I got my driver's license at 14. I remember the advent of the battery operated radio instead of the big floor one, not to mention the best thing ever - air conditioning! If you had grown up in Texas before AC, you would remember it too!

Wow I feel pretty young among you old timers on here! I must admit that since my parents paid for my gas until 1977 I don't remember gas prices. But I also remember that $2.50-$3 in gas allowed me to drive my car in NYC for a week until payday until my daughter was born in 1982. So it had to be really cheap then too. Compared to the $3.65 a gallon I drove 50 miles to get yesterday! 😝

I'm not selfish, just stubborn and usually right.
