Ha! No such thing as 'computers' when I was in high school, except maybe at NASA.To be honest I researched it on google
I had to look up the year, too. Especially the TV shows. Most of the music is still being played, today, though.

Yea, PureX I totally did the same thing. I kind of remembered a couple movies but that was it. The tv shows I could have looked up but I never watched any of them so it wouldn't have made sense. I don't remember what kind of computer I had in 2000 but I think it had Windows ME on it LOL. That was terrible. It might have been a Gateway. Terrible too :chuckle: .
My school system was one of the first in the country to have computer classes. I remember learning BASIC on punchcards in ninth grade in 1972.
Hated it then, hate it still
Hated it then, hate it still
Ha! no excuse.
I remember Howdy Doody. Is that old or what?
Clara Bell, Mombo the Elephant. I was there.
I didn't know it at the time, but........that was a really weird show.
Yes way too old. Good luck passing that on.

Here's my list, biased towards things I watched/liked, though like some of the rest of you I had to cheat a bit. My high school years especially had a tendency to run together.
Movies
Lion King
Forrest Gump
Shows
ER
Gargoyles
Star Trek The Next Generation (it actually had the 7 year finale that year)
Songs
I almost never listened to popular music at the time, though I liked Ace of Base.

Thoes were the go old days, you saw one movie, five cartoons and they gave you dishes all for the low price of the ticket. AThat was in the forty's, yep 1940's.
We wore knickers to school, knee socks and the teacher had a paddle. We were given chocolate milk in littles bottles. When the ice man came up the street we raided his truck for ice cubes. The milk man used to bring the milk into the house and put it in the ice box for us. No one felt that they had to lock their doors. We had to have stamps for Gas. Our shades were pulled down before we put our lights on of the air raid warden was at your door. We bought Liberty Stamps at school, and the teacher read the Bible and we said a prayer before we started school.
Yep, thoes were the good old days when the news was shown at the movies, and the first TV came out. The TV store used to put one in the store window for after he closed so folks who could not buy one could sit in chairs and watch some shows at night on the sidewalk. Folks cared in thoes days.

I don't remember. It was 1998-1999 and I wasn't very much into the popular music, movies or TV shows.
You mean the original play, right?
Yeah, I decided not to look it up. I graduated the year before you.To be honest I researched it on google

I remember when people were all cooing over Frampton. I though he was a lightweight, and I still think so. Eminently forgettable. In fact, I think he was a harbinger for an era of terrible music that began about the time he came on the scene. But I was fortunate enough to have been born just early enough. The first LP I bought when I was 12 y.o. was the Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced" album. I got to see bands like Zeppelin, Heart, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and Santana play live in the early 70s.
Frampton? pfhhhgh! :chuckle:
You know the popular leads in movies today? I know Glen Ford better, Harrison Ford too. I like westerns, "Shane" and "Red River" being near the best. I like Drama with dialogue more than special effects, although "Top Gun" makes my HT shake the room.
As for music, I am hard to date, liking some atmospheric metal, not so much old school metal much anymore; I like Jazz, jazz fusion and classical music. Popular jazz and pop vocals too.
I did watch " Just Like Haven" and enjoyed it, but I did not care much for "Going the Distance". too much silly sex talk, not as offensive, as much as it seemed unreal and silly.
I tend to watch movies from as early as "Gone With The Wind" to those made in the early sixties, not the late sixties, not much anyway. I also like some of the movies my kids liked, made in the 80s and in the 90s, but few seem of interest after that time.
