Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, Incredible Hulk. As a teenager (80s): Moonlighting, Miami Vice, and the sit-coms like Cosby and Family Ties.

70s--gauchos 80s--Probably parachute pants. It didn't seem weird at the time, though!

7. What was your favorite toy?
The computer punch cards, paper, and file folders my dad brought home from work (the file folders held all the "cases" my detective self was working on) and the leftover dittos my 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Cupp, gave me to play school with. And Merlin

My sisters and/or friends and I would sometimes walk or bike to a deli on 95th St (Oak Lawn, IL) called "Country Kitchen," I believe. They had penny candy there, and we would get Swedish fish, Bazooka, Smarties, etc.

This is cute. : ) I was born in the last days of Dec. '60.
I wore gouchos in highschool and had some lace up sandals I would wear with them! lol
Oh yes, when I was little, my dad had a friend from NASA that would give me boxes of used computer paper so I could draw on the backs of the connected sheets! The paper was HUGE as were the computers.
Enjoyed your fun memories!
xxoo love, amelia
Oh my....Donny Osmond was my favorite when I was in second grade and that Michael Jackson commercial took me back a few years, lol. Cute and fun post. :) I think every girl in my class had a crush on Sean Cassidy and I wore gouchos in seventh grade and thought I was pretty cool. :) Hilarious!
OH, girls, thank you for commenting! I loved reading your memories. It's SO fun to take a walk down Memory Lane from time to time, isn't it? Things were starting to get weird back then, but still more "innocent" than now. Donny was a dream in his purple socks. lol Hugs to you both! :) ♥♥
