I've always remembered waking up on the morning of Sunday January 31, 1982, and saying, "Daddy, I am seven years old today." It is the first birthday I remember having

[@michaelblaine6494]

Uh oh,you should remember at least 2 or 3 years before that. I’m hoping there wasn’t something awful that happened that you blocked out

[@angeliasanders7020]

Some of your memories are just nostalgia. For instance, when you mention "old family values" I remember that the divorce rate peaked in 1981.

[@ellemjay]

I do miss being able to say goodbye to people as they boarded a plane 🙁

[@robinkeiger2208]

Wow!!! Mork and Mindy!!! Miss Robin Williams soooo much!!!

[@ellemjay]

I was twelve when these ads aired, and I'm not sure if the world was really simpler then. Sometimes I think we just knew less about it.

[@amycampbell7561]

Ellemjay I was 12 also👍🏻

[@de3182]

I was 12 too. I think we really just didn't hear everything that went on. We didn't watch the news, didn't have social media. We were kids and innocent of it all. That's the way it should be. Children should just be allowed to be children. But we are inundated with information now. All at our fingertips.

[@nancycampbell9554]

I was 13 years old

[@1964DB]

I love a lot of things about that time, but we tend to forget how close we were to nuclear war then.

[@michellemarin1706]

Great memories, good ol days.

[@1964DB]

I was a senior in high school. Later that year, my mother would have a massive stroke that disabled her. We were evicted from our home and I had to drop out of college to support the family. I love the era, but my life is better now.

[@tomy.1846]

Slap Shot!! That film was on quite a bit. I remember when they would show cool late-70s early 80s films like The Warriors and Night Shift. Fun times but so long ago! :0

[@samanthab1923]

Saw that movie with my HS boyfriend & little bro.

[@djmajiktuch82]

This aired one week before the t.v. premiere of Superman the movie!

[@juliamenz6137]

I LOVE SLAPSHOT!

[@knuteboy3778]

Slap Shot? LOL. I can't imagine how much they had to edit that movie to make it appropriate for TV in 1982.

[@michellepost1016]

Thanks for the ads! I was in my twenties all during that decade, and I was stress free and had a lot of good, clean fun.There was the AIDS scare, which was very real, and little kids got abducted more then, however there was less stress then as opposed to now.

[@reneekane9912]

Is it true that more children were abducted then? My young childhood was during the 80s. I remember my mother and school teaching us "stranger danger" and seeing kids on milk cartons. :( Back then we were easily protected by evil. Now its nearly impossible to protect our children.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

@Renee child abduction is statistically rare when it's done by a stranger. The crime rates are lower nowadays, but the constant, worldwide news makes it seem like the opposite.

There were probably 20% less ad breaks back then, than there are now.

[@wvanderwahl]

I was in the 8th - 9th grade living in Brooklyn in 1982. I remember Eastern airlines. It was one of the major airlines at the time.My family flew Eastern many times. We had to go to a travel agent to purchase tickets. They were printed in triplicate with all these long numbers. The narrator of this commercial was the same man who did Forensic Files years later. That voice is so distinct.

[@alli-kat2329]

Peter thomas narrated forensic files

[@dalemulholland2387]

Yep..Peter Thomas...a voice that was unique.

[@melvinstapleton6133]

Times were definitely simpler in these days. Was there stress? Yes and was there crime and corruption definitely just not as much and not nearly as much exposure. The worlds more dangerous today and wicked.

[@sacredgeometry2344]

But there is light-hearted music and comedies and TV shows that were warm-hearted to balance everything out. And it was common for people to go dancing on the weekends and release stress

[@mywifesboyfriend5741]

True, there was always evil. We just faced it with more optimism back then.

"You can cross your legs in a Nissan Stanza," unless you're over 5'6. Also, it was pretty rare to see Brooke Shields not garishly dolled up in 1982. And the guy playing her hairdresser looks like the actor who was in the Fox TV Series based on the movie "Alien Nation."

[@derrickmcadoo3804]

So basically, 1982 was big for imported Japanese cars and shampoos?

[@pannoni8449]

Imported Japanese cars were popular since the late 1960s, and shampoos well before that.

[@tammywines9789]

So this is all you received out of a few great older commercials? In 1982 Detriot was going strong , we have a imported Japanese cars since the 60s. But we didnt have all the cheap Chinese crap one sees today !! We need to quit importing there crap and make our own crap and keep the greedy unions out !! The Democrats and unions who back them with our dues has ruined our economy add Clinton and NAFTA in and ordinary people were doomed !! However Reagan didnt help with his amnesty B.S, bring in 3 million 40 years later you have 50 million plus all the illegals now !! In these commercials I am not being told how to think , the females are clothed, the men look like men !!

Inflation.

[@Gravyballs2011]

Oddly enough, I like checking out how things have changed with the inflation calculator. $359 in 1982 would translate with cumulative rate of inflation of 167.3% to equal something like $959.71 in 2020.

The police went to their apartment and found the $15 million drug stash, more arsenal and more falsified passports. The building still stands today, it's known as the Camelot.

The evil in the United states really started badly in 2000 after 2001 it became worse with the corporate greed , and MSM lies, truly evil politicians, Hollyweird ( they are all the same ) . Then in 2010 things truly started going straight to hell. When a family of sluts are made into almost billionaires for living like sodom and gommoria lmao we know up is now down and vice versa!! Ppl truly attacking ppl in the United states of America for voting conservative ? I miss the times when children were children or maybe I just didnt know about these things , because I wasnt subjected to the hate that is always pushed into our faces now!! My sons watched good shows and , played outside in the 80s, they were out playing from morning , then would come in for good, cold drinks , back to swimming in the river, playing baseball, camping out, working with there grandpas on cars .
