I was interested in seeing the age differences here at MF! If you want, you can post your actual age, or you can just choose the group you belong to...


edit - i was just looking and this wasnt clear, at least to me... if your birthday is, for example tomorrow and you turn thirty, vote for the 30-40 group, not 22-30. Apply that theory to the other groups.

Old enough to remember the humble beginnings of MTV. (You know, when they actually played music!) And barely have memories of Atari and being a total couch potato when I got my very own Nintendo Entertainment System.

Old enough to go and watch The Empire Strikes Back when it was FIRST released. Ditto on the Thundercats, G.I. Joe, the original Transformers and to have been excited about getting a new Tandy Color Computer II.

The Wizard.

I am old enough to have seen Return of the Jedi when it hit the theaters and used a Commodore 64 when it was still being produced.

LOL - "old school cartoons" I haven't seen any old school cartoons listed, at least not in this thread.

Try Betty Boop, Mighty Mouse, Howdy Doody, Huckleberry Hound, The Alvin Show,
And not so old - Popeye, Tom and Jerry Show, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.
