I remember everyone of those shows. I used to rush home from school the catch The Banana Split Show. I also used to love the Adam Ant cartoon, that was before the rock dude with the same name. And what about Sha-Na-Na it was on right after The Banana Split Show

Sha-na-na and the Gong Show..definately top notch programming

Your life is just starting, do you have plans for college, or what do you plan to do.

Lets see all the "good" old cartoons. Woody Woodpecker, Bugs Bunny and all of them. Thats what I used to watch mainly.

I remember watching McGeiver (spelling) and Night Rider.

What was that one show, Mamas House or something like that. Where the older Kid lived with his mother and she had a real annoying voice?

The game show with the WAMY!!! lol

Hell if I remember the name...

My mom and dad basicly just let me watch these few shows. We had only one TV and a park across the street. So I was usually out causing trouble. Only inside when it rained.

Well so far I’m on the college search... I’m either going to
Penn state Altoona (Satellite of Penn state main (Accepted)),
Penn state main (didn’t hear back from them),
Penn state Hazleton (satellite of Penn state main) (accepted)),
Or SUNY Oneonta (state school in NY(accepted))

I think I would go to main but I don’t think I will get accepted. Also the cost is going to be an issue. Depending on how much scholarship money I get from all these vegetarian websites (I have been a vegetarian for 7 years so I apply to vegetarian scholarships.)

As of now I think I’m going to double major in public health and nutrition and get a masters in public health when its all said and done but that’s still a long way off.

Note: haha i just corrupted the theme of old TV commercials

All of these commercials you guys are talking about....i had no clue even existed. And here I thought the big gray game boys were obsolete

grey game boys?

How about the first systems I used when I grew up - hardly handhelds!

Ever heard of the Odyssey? We had also a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a -with a speech synthesizer! That was mind blowing stuff..
The Commodore 64 came out around that time too, I believe (so named because it had 64 bytes of memory - not 64 meg - 64 bytes. For the whole computer.
Our first real "IBM clone PC" (as they were called back then), was a system using an 8088 processor, and rather than the greenscreen, we had a 16 color CGA video card - that was hot.

Or later on, when systems like the Activision, and original Atari came out, those were the big "gaming systems". The Odyssey wasn't quite as popular - but IMO had better games.

Then Atari came out with the "Atari 2600".

Man... How many years later was it that Nintendo came out, with the original cartrige-based console (that always wore out, and games became impossible to start? )?

And how many years later was it that Nintendo came out with the portable, the Game Boy?

Man, if you remember back to the beginning of this time line like it was yesterday (like me) - now scroll back up to what I quoted up here at the top of my post.

Wow, I still have my original nintendo, with the original Zelda, and Mario. I think my dad still has the atari 800.

you guys really are old. It makes me think that one day I'll be the old guy thinking about the "Good old Days" while some young kid laughs at me. But, until then HA HA HA
