I love the great spectrum of entertainment choices we know have at our fingertips due to satellite TV, the internet, etc., but I miss the fact that, when I was growing up, almost everyone was at least familiar with some of the same TV shows, sports events, etc. There is not the same sense of community which at least is part of the reason why I look back at the 70\'s fondly.

You make an excellent point. I have a fond memory of the 70s for the very same reason. I miss the cultural points of reference more people shared. Prime time TV shows really were \"appointment television\" back then. We all watched them at the same time, and talked about them at school the next day.

That\'s what\'s nice about website like this. I guess it\'s our present-day \"water cooler\"... or playground, to put it in school terms!<br>
