I knew the title of this thread reminded me of something!

Shape of … an Eagle … Form of … water. I mean what??

Raise your hands if you were traumatized as a child by Brian's Song in elementary school, as the film projector was wheeled in for the "last few days of school movie marathon."​

My fellow elder GenXers/Generation Jones peeps will recognize where they were when this little ditty started hitting all the roller rinks and boom boxes everywhere.​

 

[Zumbamami_69]

Do you remember Zayre?!

That was a must-stop with my Abuelita whenever we visited her.

 

[DaringFunGuy]

Making your best gal a mix tape and there was at least one Howard Jones song on it.

And the Violent Femmes.

Did she call the the “stories”? Mine did. Also, Erica Kane - All My children. The Elizabeth Taylor of daytime .

I always associated "stories" with Southerners and all the Black Aunties. Everywhere else called them soap operas.​

 

[Zumbamami_69]

Up the irons!!

HELLO?!!!

 

[Zumbamami_69]

Can't forget this one

One of the best TV show themes, evah.

I was in junior high when the original Dungeons & Dragons came out. With real paper books and graph paper and actual dice that you threw. Little lead figurines that you painted by hand. Oh! I also had a collection of the original Smurf figures. With a little mushroom house.

Born in the '60s and most of what we did every day is illegal or "unsafe" now.

My early years were close to Chicago, so Bozo was a big deal. My Mom went on the show once!

LUCKY!!!!!! We watched WGN growing up in Panamá, and I always wanted to play the grand prize game. I used to sit at home thinking, "how the fuck do you miss the first 4 buckets??" Of course the contestants were toddlers with minimal sensory motor skills.​
