I remember the days when I dreamed of having a VCR so, as I put it in my Hello Kitty diary, we could be a “normal family”. Imagine my delight when I figured out how to RECORD TELEVISION SHOWS. I’m pretty sure there was squealing involved. I fondly remember the tape I kept under lock and key that had the Happy Days finale on it. Man, did I watch the hell out of that thing. I also enjoyed every fall when the TV Guide with the new season’s schedule arrived. I actually ripped it out, highlighted “my shows” and tacked it to the bulletin board in my room. It’s a wonder I had any friends at all, really.
