I really know I'm getting older now. I was watching a DVD of a TV
show, first showed in 1975...

...and wondering which of the cast are still living.

13. DIdn't know those were available. I can just barely remember
"Blondie" (1957) and Captain Kangaroo from those days, but that's it.

5. People tell me "You live in the 70s"...
* Match Game
* Mork and Mindy
* I SPY
* The Avengers
* Get Smart
* Doctor Who
* The Graduate
* From Russia With Love
* Three's Company
* Maude
* The Hollywood Squares (Lynde emcee'ing)

The list goes on and on... sadly. :D

But then, TV from this period, still had more substance than almost anything post>1985.

6. I've seen some of the old Doctor Who and an episode here and there of Get Smart...
but none of the rest.

Yay! Now I don't feel old! And I will continue to not feel old until one of the 16-17 year olds on this board posts something that reminds me that I'm starting to get old. :P

8. Some were earlier
The Avengers, Get Smart, The Graduate and from Russia With Love are from the 60's. Maybe I Spy and Hollywood Squares, too. See you're not that old by saying you don't remember them from the following decade.;-)

11. Hell's Bells .. . .
you can't even claim to be O-L-D, unless you remember watching:



"The Honeymooners", "The Life of Riley", the ORIGINAL Mickey Mouse Club,
"Rin Tin Tin", the ORIGINAL "Lassie", "The Lone Ranger", "Roy Rogers & Dale Evans", and seeing something like this at 10 or 11 PM until 7-8 the next morning:
