You know you\'re a child of the 60\'s when ...
 

1) You remember the 'Kiss your butt goodbye' drills in school, and the reason for them.

2) You remember when JFK was shot and killed, and seeing all the adults walking around in stunned shock, many of them crying openly.

3) You remember watching LIVE the first man to walk on the moon.

4) You remember waching Star Trek the original series, when it was the ONLY Star Trek Series, and you watched it when it was FIRST being ran on TV, and NOT in re-runs.

5) You remember running home from school to watch Dark Shadows on TV.

6) You remember the TV show, "My Mother the car" with FOND memories.

7) You remember running home from school to watch superman in black and white.

8) You remember watching Captain Kangaroo each morning before going to school, and trying to figure out how today, Mr. Moose's Knock Knock joke would drop those ping pong balls on Captain's head, or bunny rabbit would steal the Captain's carrots.

9) You watched on TV news African American's being squirted with fire hoses and wondered why adults couldn't just get along with each other, and not be so mean to each other.

10) You remember when you went to the store with your parents to buy food, and a $100 food bill not only drew a crowd, but filled several shopping carts with groceries.

11) You remember when a candy bar cost only 5 cents.

12) You remember when a gallon of gas only cost your parents 31 cents a gallon.

No. That was one of the lamest sitcoms ever. Even when I was a kid, that show was not funny.

Well, I have to admit ... I was only 4 or 5 yrs old when I saw it ... and I loved it ... back then.

I loved it that the guys 'mother' even though a car, would 'spank' him with her car door.

Then feeling nistolgic (sp), I made the mistake of buying the tapes for the series off of e-bay last year and re-watching it.

Then I saw how lame it really was, and what the adults back then were talking about.

Still, I have fond memories of watching it when I was little for the reasons stated above.

This will make sense only to people familiar with the Denver metro area (I know there are a few).

Taking a bicycle ride with the Boy Scouts along a dirt road out in the country called Chambers Road.

For those of you not familiar with the Denver Metro area, Chambers road is now a six lane thoroughfare through the middle of Aurora, Denver's biggest suburb.

Man, a lot of your memories revolve around the TV, didn't you have Counter strike to play back then?

Re: You know you\'re a child of the 60\'s when ...
 

LOL ... if that's a Vid game ... sorry ... we had plain ol' pinball back then, and that was pretty much it.

We did have board games, and such, which me and my brother played a lot of.

I only put in the TV shows because I've seen them put in a lot of lists like this.

Plus, you have to remember ... back in the 60's ... TV's were considered something very special back then.

Families even had their TV's set up so that they could watch TV shows while they ate dinner (even more so than today).
