1980 = 30 years

[Wombat]

And how do you think this makes me feel when I watched original Star Trek in its first run...?

 

[jaerdaph]

Wow. I'm older than televised Star Trek. That just sank in...

But not quite old enough to watch the original airing - I caught the first reruns of Star Trek on WPIX New York as a young lad, as well as the original airing of The Animated Series on Saturday mornings in the early 70s.

Shatner and Nimoy both turned 79 this past week too.

Now Dark Shadows, that's my earliest memory of a television show I watched and liked when it was originally aired (I was Barnabas Collins for Halloween when I was four).

There are times when I feel older than dirt.

My oldest memory is of Barbapapa.

I turn 30 in November, so no, no it doesn't.

I saw the thread and had the exact same thought, except my birthday was in February.

Bullgrit.

And everyone else...

You're manking me feel old.

Stop it.

When I was in law school, I had a prof give us this speech:

"Any document 20 years old or older is assumed to have a certain set of characteristics as set forth under the 'Doctrine of Ancient Documents.' Now, for many of you, this is the first time that something younger than yourself has been called 'Ancient.' I can assure you that this will not be the last time..."

As I just turned 50...crap that was a long time ago, so many shows and movies!

Does it surprise anyone else to realize that 1980 was 30 years ago? Thirty years! Thirty!?

Nope. It turns out I learned how to do the math that would have let me predict that 1980 + 30 = 2010 sometime in the seventies. So, that surprise was spoiled a long time ago.
