If You Remember This, Then ....

Last night I was at the bookstore. Somehow, a manager and I got on the topic of shows we watched when we were kids. Yes, this will date me, but here is the list. Which do you remember?

• School House Rocks as seen as part of Saturday morning cartoons -- Who says cartoons can't teach you anything? "I'm just a bill . . . ."
• Smufs -- Little blue people....
• Life before remotes -- Yes, once upon a time you had to get up to change the channel. Should I mention we only had 3 plus the local PBS channel to choose from?
• Life before microwaves -- If cooking is so much faster now, how come I still don't have any time? And how come I love my slow cooker?
• Real FLOPPY disks -- Yes, there was a reason for the "floppy" part.
• Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, and Bugs Bunny
• Life before internet -- Seriously, how did we connect?
• Rotary phones and having to answer to find out who is calling
  
• When the "original" Star Wars special effects were truly awe inspiring
• Going to the bank and having a pass book for your savings account
• Writing a paper on a typewriter
• PONG
  

What can you add to the list? If you remember most of that stuff, well, I hate to tell you, but we are both getting old.

If you don't remember any of it, I don't even want to hear it!
