Was that the ABC After school specials? I sort of remember seeing them in the early 80's when I was teen. I never really watch any of them however.

Oh yea cant forget about School House Rock! It ran in the 80's also! ABC used to be the channel man! Think about it. Back before ESPN and all them sports channels, ABC had the best sports telecast. Do yall remember "Wide World of Sports" That was the thing back then! Got Em!!

P@t_Mtl · 12-15-2009, 09:51 PM

Yes Wide World Of Sports was amazing, the theme song and that poem/intro the guy was saying, it was just great. And you had that Norvegian skier crashing hard on his take off. I remember this was one of the few ways to get other sports beside the regular baseball/basketball/football on TV back then. You could see ski and bosleight and all sort of sports.

Well cable with special station make's it possible now to have everything/all the time. Heck here in Montreal we had only these channels in the 70's

Radio Canada
Canadian Broadcasting
Tele Metropole
Canadian Television
Radio Quebec

and then if you were lucky, depending on the weather, wind and rain

ABC
CBS
NBC
PBS

But for some reason NBC was always a nightmare to catch in our old house, we hardly ever got it.

garlad · 12-15-2009, 10:08 PM

Saved By The Bell for me as well as Star Trek TNG!

Sorry, I totally misunderstood this thread!!

P@t_Mtl · 12-15-2009, 10:13 PM

We had a antenna on the side of the house with a rotor you could turn from the living room and turn it toward the channel you needed. God as I am talking about this it sound like I was in a Flinstones episodes

groove93 · 12-15-2009, 10:14 PM

In 1983-84 there was an ABC After School Special called "I want to go home" which starred a very young Seth Green. A classmate of mine had a very small role in this special as well. He played one of the bullies that beat up Green.

I may be dating myself here but...Does anyone remember going outside at night in the rain, cold, whatever to spin the antenna to get reception for your dad?

"Keep going, keep going. Stop! Back a little. Little more. Stop!........little more.

The day we finally got cable I cried.

Haha I can picture that. Things were a lot more simpler then but I dont think I would trade it for blu-ray picture, although it was my fav time growing up! Got Em!!

P@t_Mtl · 12-15-2009, 10:20 PM

Things were just a bit more innocent I guess back then. I mean when I was 12 years old, there was no way I could see a naked women anytime I wanted too

Had to steal a Playboy from the local store. Now a days, kids can see a heck of a lot more then I ever did at 12 in one click of the mouse.
