I’m a 1977, C/O ‘95 baby from small town Ohio❤ and always feel like I’m watching my childhood when I watch your videos!
@Retospacemonkey
THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for saying “Not blockbuster”!!!! I too was from a smaller Midwest town and I loved the mom and pop video stores! They knew you and the movies! When blockbuster finally came to town I walked in and noped right out! The video store I loved was the first in our town and he was still opened to watch blockbuster fall! Sadly, his family closed it after he passed away. Chains were not the same!

"We didn't know how good we had it", I couldn't agree more!

I remember being heart broken when they pulled Punky Brewster off the air without any notice. My first lesson in life about how your favorite TV shows will not last forever.

Being an 80s baby myself, I miss those days.
@Elsewhen404
You're right, Natalie. The present era is the WORST!
@chivalryknight4
National Lampoons Vacation and that song Holiday Road. So many memories. So very 80's.
@patfrat666
Well done, my GenX Sister. That wild kid freedom... and the video stores. Cheers.

Speaking of McDonalds, we grew up with the best version of their french fries and nuggets. For a time, McDonalds in SoCal offered "Bucket o'fries" which was just their fries in a large drink cup, so you could put the fries in a cup holder in your car and eat while driving. What a time to be alive!

Thank you very much, Natalie! I too grew up in a small, rural, Midwest, in Indiana; I was also born in 1977. Thanks for nailing it! I couldn't stop grinning like an idiot throughout the video. Growing up in the 80's was amazing! There were so many things to do and see... The world seemed limitless. Adulthood was kind of a letdown, but after a childhood in that era it was a tough act to follow. I look forward to watching more from you! Chris

The 80s had both the best TV shows and movies and I love going outside 16:19

OMG I LOVED Showbiz Pizza !!!! I was born in 1974 so I’m a few years older than you and everything that you mention in these videos I can 10000 % relate to !!!! THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD 🥰🫶🏻🥰🫶🏻 THE 80’s WAS THE BEST DECADE TO GROW UP IN EVER !!! I wish that my kids and grandkids could experience it ❤
@RandomDude19868
Loved the Electric Company theme song; there were so many great TV themes like BJ and the Bear, CHiPs, Laverne and Shirley, and Dukes of Hazzard
@VigilanceFilms
I grew up in small town Iowa. I was shocked at how many of these things I had forgotten! Great Video time capsule!
@albertusmagnus6606
Awesome and well made video! This brought back a lot of good memories. I was born in 1972 so I had just missed the Book-It program but I so looked forward to ordering those books and magazines from Scholastic! Man I almost forgot about 3-2-1 Contact! I loved Fairy Tale Theater too - my Dad had gotten us cable when it premiered so I got to watch it on Showtime. I lived within walking distance of a cool small video rental store and thankfully, no Blockbuster, at least for a while! The freedom we had as kids to explore the neighborhood, settle our differences, and learn lessons on our own was so special and precious.

I'm glad I'm a Xennial. Best of both worlds of 80s and 90s and early to mid 00s.
@carissaa8411
OMG the Faerie Tale Theater videos! I loved those! RIP Shelley Duvall 😢❤
@fireresq7
I’m from Miami and everything you said is exactly the same experiences I Had! The number one thing was the freedom we had having a bicycle was like having a car. Just the track going to our destination was fun in itself because we were learning directions and how to get there and get lost all along the way!!
@lilbrittle77
1977 born! Small town Michigan raised! You crushed this list! nodding and smiling through the whole thing! Thank you for giving me something to consume that actually makes one feel good!
