we had:
8 track tapes
School House Rock
3 TV stations ... no need for remote control.
Huge cars with bad seat belts
Patio and Hungry Man (non p.c.) brand TV dinners
TV trays for said TV dinners, and
Lite brite.

Teachers and coaches wouldn't hesitate to paddle that ass if you got out of line.
If two boys were having an altercation and felt the need to "Duke it out".....many times it was allowed wearing boxing gloves under the coaches supervision. (This happened often when playing dodgeball.....remember that game?)
Heh....imagine any of that shit happening today....
