I'm going with you born in the middle 70s

@HumanEarth Good guess I mean I threw you a bit of a curve ball cause I was really young during the Falklands so I don't actually remember it and He Man was around the same era but probably a year or so later.

As a child, I had a plastic Millennium Falcon, Castle Greyskull and an A-team van.

@Burnley123 no wonder you grew up to be a super-authoritarian, militaristic, quasi fascist...

We got ABC, NBC and PBS. PBS came in without having to adjust the outside aerial, but ABC and NBC needed definite directional changes.

Us kids rode in the pickup truck bed on the way to the lake in summer, often waving at cops who just waved back.

Mrs. Hawkins down the rode was known to listen in on the street’s party line calls.

I remember it
and bring home paper report cards for my parents to sign

and having quarters in my pocket to make phone calls (I remember 10 cent ones too)

I got change back from my dollar at McDonalds
Jem and the holograms, Mister Rogers, MTV actually playing music videos, carebears, saturday morning cartoons, crash test dummy commercials, Michael Jackson debuts the Moonwalk, Sally Ride in space(i actually did a book report on her in school ^.^) Return of the Jedi \o/ i was the disturbance in the force that year!

Yes, I remember that! I remember TVs having tubes in them, and the VHF channels being clear while the UHF channels were very hit or miss. And we were late to get color.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@Poppies I remember changing out tubes when I was in middle school AND I remember when they would have a tv show come on and in the introduction brag about it being in color - and watching that on my black and white tv

Same, but I can't afford to. Been wipe out too many times
I remember having only one channel: whatever my dad wanted to watch. We could either watch along with him or not watch TV. There was no conversation about whether we liked it or not, let alone if there was any common ground we could all enjoy.

Sucks being a kid back then. Today's kids have a TV in every room, cellphones, and computers. Compare being born in the 1950s/1960s they would think today's kids are billionaires
@HumanEarth as an adult I don't have a TV anywhere in my home 😅

We have over 30, but I fix or gut them for parts to make other stuff with. I'm cheap.
