Remember When.....

[Gemini]

Remember Beta? I actually saw a Beta machine just last week at a cabin my friends were stay at.

That's NEW stuff.

The Red Skelton Show.

I had the movie Bambi on 8mm and there is 8mm video somewhere at my parents house of me learning to ride my first bike. Well, unless that stuff rots or degrades. I'll have to see if 8mm to DVD transfer services are available.

We'd put up the portable silver screen and along with the 8mm movies watch slide shows. I wonder if there is a transfer service for all those old slides too?

Speaking of movies, how about the first consumer video disk players? Not the oversized DVD type disk players, but the white plastic disk in a sleave players? My brother had the animated The Hobbit (Rankin and Bass?) memorized from watching it so much.

Remember when it was a treat to watch a 8mm movie in reverse at school?

Remember when they used to show the film strips in school where you had to advance the frame when the record beeped? "Puff the Magic Dragon".

Remember Choose Your Own Adventure books?

Yeah, I do. I own some of them. I even FOUND some of them at Barnes & Noble a couple of weeks ago(which made me feel kind of old! & I'm only 25!)

Remember The Baby-Sitters Club?

Remember being in school and smelling the paper that was just copied by hand, with the old machine where you had to crank the handle?

HAHAHA Fondue I remember my parents had a whole setup and used to have small gatherings with relatives and do that.

Remember the old "Ironside" detective series?

Oh yeah. The ink would be blue... LOL

Remember when they would actually paddle you in school if you were terribly bad? :rofl:

How 'bout "Paint Your Wagon" introducing Clint Eastwood?

I remember him best as Pappy Boyington.

 

[HKphooey]

Rememeber when a TV show like A-team (starring a bunch of special forces operators), could fire thousands of rounds from various assualt rifles and not kill one bad guy and still win? Not to mention a car would do it's signature rollover in every episode.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

GI Joe!

Remember when PS2 was a lame computer line from IBM and not a gaming system?

Remember when they used to show the film strips in school where you had to advance the frame when the record beeped? "Puff the Magic Dragon".
