Do you remember? (another nostalgia thread)

[Veiled Viper]

I remember going to the gas station and Dad would roll down the window and tell the attendant to "Fill 'er up with regular!".

Yeh,now we can't even "fill 'er up" with these gas prices!

Remember the cartoon Speed Racer?

Remember the cartoon Speed Racer?

I was all over some Speed Racer. That and Star Blazers were my favorite weekday cartoons. You can get Speed Racer on DVD now, by the way.

I was always a fan of The Snorks....

 

[WannaWitness]

Saturday mornings in the early to mid 1980s was just so much fun!

Remember "The Gary Coleman Show" -- the cartoon in which he was an angel?

 

[Chris Norwood]

But the Snorks were such a blatant Smurfs rip-off! Of course, that didn't stop me from watching them either.

Oh! Here's another show; remember that show about the robot little girl who always wore that red dress and had the annoying neighbor Mrs. Poole (who was also the secretary in Ferris Bueller's Day Off). I think it was called Small Wonder. I used to love that!

I enjoyed that show! Now I just "WONDER" if it's on videotape or DVD?

 

[WannaWitness]

Oh, and "Punky Brewster" was good, too!

 

[Savedthroughfaith]

LOVED Punky!

Also Silver Spoons!

 

[WannaWitness]

Ah -- the days when TV was fun!

Now look at it.

How about The Facts of Life?

(Great....now I will have the theme song stuck in my head for the rest of the day).

 

[Autumnleaf]

Care Bears

The Last Unicorn

"I saw you, walkin in the rain..."

GI Joe cartoons

Big huge cars that seemed like tanks

FM Stereo was new

Ronald Reagan was leading us against the evil Russian commies

We supported the Afghan freedom fighters in their fight against the evil Russian commies, even John Rambo got in on the act

Cereal composed of little chocolate chip cookies, best breakfast idea ever.

How about The Facts of Life?

(Great....now I will have the theme song stuck in my head for the rest of the day).

Yep! Certainly!

 

[CarolinaMom]

You take 'em good.
You take 'em bad.
You take 'em both and then you have
The facts of life...
The facts of life...

I think that's how it goes!

Anyone here remember a comedy show called "Haywire"? My favorite part involved an over the top kung-fu fighter named Billy Kwan (sp).

He would say things like:
"You, Trickster! Your attempt at humor has offended my sister. Prepare to die!"

and fight with rubber chickens etc.

 

[WannaWitness]

"It's fun to put 'Snap, Crackle, Pop' -- into your morning!"

 

[WannaWitness]

I also remember when the only marshmallow shapes in Lucky Charms were pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds -- no horseshoes, rainbows, balloons or pots of gold!

 

[KnowBeDo]

The "Fall Festival" at our elementary school...

Cake Walks!!

 

[JPPT1974]

How there used to be a lot of game shows
Before the dreaded talk shows began as of today??

 

[lucypevensie]

I remember when a there were no red or blue m&m's in the bag, and there were lots of tan-colored ones. (Nowadays you can get them in custom colors though)

And Hubba Bubba bubble gum. I think that's the kind that didn't stick to your face when the bubble popped
