Does anyone remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer before class started in the morning? I'm 75.
-
How about the Service Station where they actually pumped your gas checked your oil and cleaned your windshield.
-
I remember when they played the national anthem at midnight before the TV would sign-off.
-
As a baby boomer, I've lived my life in the best times this country had to offer. Those days are gone never to return.
-
The phone books also served as a book for kids to sit on so they could reach the table.
-
Also ice cube trays with handles that pulled up to break the ice into cubes.
-
Most baby boomers weren't watching Scoobie Doo....thats 1980s junk. We watched Mighty Mouse, Popeye, Top Cat, Heckle and Jeckle, Casper, Pixie and Dixie, Quickdraw McGraw, the Jetson etc. And the most cartoons came on Saturday Mornings, not Sunday.
-
Kids could play on the swings and no one bothered them.
-
Us boomers really did live the most enriching lives. I would not want to be a teenager now.
-
You forgot the flash cubes you needed to take pictures!
-
I wouldn't say it was a good old days but man it was way better than today
-
Saturday morning cartoons, Church on Sunday, afterwards news paper with pages & pages of coloured funny pages.

Does anyone remember the paddle? It was an instrument the teachers used to keep us in line. They kept one in their desk drawer or hung one up on the wall for all of us to see. The paddle helped us to keep quiet in school and encouraged us to complete all of our homework before returning to school the next day. And it helped us to have respect for the teachers too.

I remember when could dial a certain number and get the correct time, also party lines.

This and other YouTube nostalgia videos all seem to have one underlying theme: the old days were special. I'm dang near 70 so most all the things in this video I remember fondly. Cartoons that were mostly on Saturday mornings, no 24 hour TV, spending hours creating a mix tape, going to the library to access the encyclopedia, dime stores. Compared to today's instant access and 24 hour availability makes me realize that if you have a good thing all the time, it's no longer special.

It used to be sooooo exciting receiving letters and postcards!!! I miss them.

Love this! Thank you for creating it. Two very minor things that I’d correct: 1. Poor TV reception did not produce pixelation prior to digital TV. You got snow, ghosts, horizontal rolling,, wavy lines etc., but not pixelation. 2. Cartoons where I grew up were on SATURDAY mornings Not on Sundays.
-
Saturday. Mornings were the time for cartoons. Not Sunday.
-
Good old days! it will never be the same again.

Remember Woolworths? They made the best burgers and shakes😊
