I was 6 six years old. I remember most of that, but I didn't realize how much of a memorable year that was for both television and movies. Of course, I remembered that being the year for Grease and Animal House, but I forgot about the other movies that year. What young boys could forget The Incredible Hulk and Battle Star Galactica released on television, especially on the heels of the Star Wars popularity. This was also the year that I remember the first Star Wars action figures hitting the market, which changed everything. On a more serious note, I couldn't read very well, but I was certainly fascinated with the Jim Jones tragedy being all over the news and magazines.

I was 12 in 1978 and I can remember waking up for school and the Jim Jones tragedy was all over the news .At my age I really didn't grasp it all but now I realize it was about ppl that were searching for a happy place where they felt like they belonged only find out later (if they were one of the lucky ones to get out in time) that they were living and being controlled by a psychopath.

I went to Branson MO with my aunt and uncle in July, got sick! my aunt said maybe there was something in the water that didn't agree with me. went to vacation bible school with my friend and ran into a kid from my old school and teased him! I called him "batman" because he had worn a batman costume for trick or treat when we were younger! drove my friend crazy because I wouldn't stop talking about it and giggling over it. a lot of good tunes on the radio, always had it on (WLS Chicago). we got new neighbors so I had more kids to hang out with. visited Chicago's field museum and saw the ruins of Pompei in the fall of '78.

I was 16. My mother got me a cassette of Grease soundtrack as one of my Christmas presents:) I also got a small, handheld radio (Norelco?) anyway, I had so much enjoyment from that little thing that I carried with me everywhere! Used to really like the Nancy Drew shows... I remember "Ready to Take a Chance Again" (Barry Manilow) was so pretty, from the movie "Foul Play," Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. I had a total crush on Andy Gibb with the Shadow Dancing song, and oh my God, I thought I would die if I couldn't meet Robby Benson (saw him in t.v. version of "Our Town" that June) and they came out with "Ice Castles" movie in December. Loved "Have you Never Been Mellow," "Time Passages" (Al Stewart) and Y.M.C.A. songs.

Hardy Boys used to give me nightmares when I was small. Used to watch Taxi all the time in re-runs.

I was 10 living in Anaheim, California. Things were good back then in comparison to now. The music was the best, nobody was overweight you Notice? I even think that people were better looking. I would love to just take a whole day, get comfortable on the couch and watch old shows. Thanks for your videos. 🤣

No one was overweight because we had a thing called "Outside" LOL. I'll try my best to take you back Renee :) - JB

Ha! Watched Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys....had poster of Shaun Cassidy on my wall, until Nadia won the Olympics in 76, down came Cassidy & up went Nadia. I started watching these because I dreamed I was in the house I grew up in...but other than Dallas, I see TV shows I wasn't allowed to watch & music I had no idea was so old.

I was 'warming-up' for the toughest 10 years of my life. Already immersed in alcohol when Cocaine came around I jumped in feet first. As the saying goes when you find yourself in a hole quit digging, I quit digging in '89 and climbed back out into the sun; God, it was good, I had forgotten how to laugh or smile without something to alter my mood. Was not all bad, we'd close down the restaurant keeping only the Coke-dealing customers and dance til dawn but I paid dearly the morning after; glad I got clan & sober young, surprised I remember as much as I do!

I remember the snowstorm of 1978 and I was in high school. And the school was closed due to the snowstorm. The winters of 1977-1978, were wicked winters!❄⛄
