I remember when we got our first VCR, my dad couldn't wait to record the first episode of Cops on the vhs tape. The next saturday morning, I wanted to record The Lone Ranger, so I recorded it over the first episode of Cops.

...I saw Back to the Future on opening weekend, and we all made fun of our parents for being "old" because they remembered so much of the 50s stuff.

...today my friends' kids watch Back to the Future and they make fun of us for being "old" because we remember so much of the 80s stuff.
