  10. Most of the fillings in your mouth are directly related to Bazooka or Bubble Yum.
  11. Rotary phones.
  12. Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you learned things like grammar, math and history. (A big hint here is if the only way you can recite the Preamble to the Constitution is by singing it.)
  13. The Brady Bunch Movie brings back warm memories.
  14. You can remember the words to the theme song of "The Greatest American Hero." ("BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I'M WALKIN' ON AIR... I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD FEEL SO FREE-EE-EE..."
  15. There was nothing strange about Bert and Ernie living together.

  25. You know all the words to the double-album set of the "Grease" soundtrack.
  26. You know who shot J.R.
  27. You know, by heart, the words to Weird Al Yankovic's songs.
  28. You learned to swim at about the same time "Jaws" came out... and still carry the emotional scars to prove it.
  29. You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool.
  30. You recall when Love's Baby Soft was in every girl's Christmas stocking. (I still have some!)
  31. You remember "Friday Night Videos" before the days of MTV. (Or Don Kirschner's Rock Concert!)

  46. Your parents paid $2,000 for a top-loading VCR that was almost the size of a coffee table.
  47. Your parents wanted you to attend medical school, but you decided it was pointless since Quincy got all the babes anyway.
  48. You're currently employed doing something that has absolutely nothing to do with your college major.
  49. You're starting to believe that having the kids go to school all year wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
  50. You've ever owned a pair of rainbow suspenders like the ones Mork used to wear.

ACK!!! I'm a child of the 70s and the 80's I was born in 1970 so I remember lots of this stuff too. I had a Dorothy Hamill haircut. Roscoe's full name on the Dukes of Hazard was ROSCOE P. COLETRAIN (and his dog's name was Flash) !! I had Donnie and Marie dolls!! Whoever appeared first on the screen in a Brady Bunch episode was the lead factor in that show's plotline. Bazooka gum!!! Oh, I know all of these

You knew who MORK was!
Love Story was the best Movie Every made. You snuck out to see Rocky Picture Horror show and nobody dressed up.
We had watergate, Archie Bunker, Streakers and Patti Hurst.
Instead of pet rattie we had pet rocks!! (I like my rattie much better than the rock)
And Saturday night live made us laugh and are parents uncomfortable.

There is no joy greater than being owned by a Rattie!!

I wasn't sure if a lot of the people who grew up in the 60s and 70s would remember anything...

Oh, to be in the 70's. When in winter it and bundled up to your eyebrows with hats and scarfs....You remember Mc donalds commercials and your life was not worth living until you met Ronald, Grimace or the hamburgeler. Pieces of your Rubic's cube could be found years after you got it...7up was the Uncola.......Whatchamacallit was the new candy bar..........Gee your hair smells terrific..I say no more........

The scariest of all is that you turn on the oldies music station today and you hear, Madonna, Bruce Srpingsteen, Duran Duran and you think OMG......my music is my kids oldies channel!!!!!!!!!!
