    or when every house in neighborhood had one of those giant aerials on it. and the choices of like 5 or 6 channels.

    let's run down tv memory lane here, we got:

    abc
    cbs
    nbc
    the two independent channels 19 (coolest tv channel ever) and 64 (another killer indepent channel)
    and pbs.

    that was it until cable came along in 1981/2 or so.

    no but maybe some of us should start doing just that. in fact now that you mention it...

    here is an article from cracked.com comparing the women of the 70s/early 80s to celeb chicks of today. i think the chicks from back in the day crush the competition. the first one is esp. ridiculous. trying to compare lindsey lohan to bo derek is like comparing a vw microbus (lohan) to a ferrari (derek). oh and further down the list, comparing any female with phoebe cates (some of the best on screen nudity ever) iis patently insane.

    LOL ... Class of '80 here.

    I remember the night John Lennon was shot and Howard Cosell announced it during Monday Night Football. Farrah Fawcett and Charlie's Angels. The premier of Saturday Night Live. KISS! Boot-Cut jeans. Farrah Fawcett. My Chevy Impala which I could damn near fill for $5 and cruise all night listening to the Doors on my 8-track tape player. Farrah Fawcett. Comic books were 20-cents. Farrah Fawcett ...

    Ah, we all get old. No big deal. I'm still digging life.

    As for the "rabbit ears" comment Maximus made ... LOL, I was still using them up until a few years ago. My wife made me get cable, otherwise I wouldn't have it. TV (with the exception of sporting events) sucks these days.
