Remember where you were when Elvis died.

 

If you watched 1st run Bonanza episodes.

 

If you saw 1st run Flintstones & Jetson's cartoons... both run in early to mid 60's. reruns is what I watched into the early 70's... ( though there was some Jetson's made in the '80's )

 

I remember when Michael Jackson was black, does that count?:lol:

 

Or hospitals! Was in the hospital for better than a week in the mid 70's with a broken leg and remember asking for, and getting, a cigarette and ashtray in my room.

 

I'm late to the game, but have really enjoyed reading the thread!

I remember when McDonald's only sold burgers, fries, sodas, and shakes...no McNuggets, McFlurries, or fancy coffee drinks.

 

I remember that everyone had a smart friend, not a smart phone. When you couldn't remember something, you called that friend and they could help you with the answer... Not Google.

 

Good television shows. Dukes of Hazzard, CHiPs, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy, Airwolf, M*A*S*H, He-Man, Merry Melodies, Hawaii 5-0, Magnum PI, I Dream of Jeannie, The Honeymooners, Thunder Cats, GI Joe...the list goes on for days. Not to say we don't have a few good shows here and there (my best friend introduced me to The Walking Dead. One of the few really good shows on now). But I miss the old stuff!

 

We had a little hoodlum high school kid from up the street on our party line. He didn't think we knew where he lived. He cursed my mom out when she picked up the phone once. My dad went to his house and pounded on the door and threatened to beat the crap out of him. The kid peaked through the curtains and wouldn't come out. He kept a real low profile and was always very polite to my mom after that.

 

You mean Bell telephone, AT&T only came after the break up.

My father worked his whole life with Old Ma Bell Telephone. We were the last people to get touch tone phones in the 90's because my Dad had free rotery service for life and my Mon did not want to give it up because it was free.

 

I had an aunt that worked as an operator for Ma Bell. I remember getting her once or twice when I couldn't find a number in the telephone book

 

When there was no Monday Night Football. (NFL was Sunday only.)

 

Probably not anymore, but I was real good with the Huey, Dewey and Louie system by Disney.....:biggrin5:

 

"Duo diode, hi mu triode.
Oscillator, modulator,
