    I don't remember a lot of TV and movies from the time firsthand, since they didn't really become interests of mine until the mid-80s, and I was four in 1982. Mostly I remember going to Showbiz Pizza (later Chuck E Cheese) and Six Flags, and I had an ET wading pool. I was also introduced to computers, taking a computer course for little children at a local library. I've had a great love for computers since then. ^_^
