1) The (original) Sci-Fi Channel. I swear my VCR was constantly recording! I remember the countdown when it first came on. I love the classic shows, a lot of the original movies, the theme weeks, Pilot Playhouse, the Series Collection, the Cartoon Quest, the station ident bumpers...it was just great. I really miss it.
2) So much Star Trek! Reruns of TNG on weeknights, and a new ep once a week. Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and reruns of TOS every Saturday night at 11pm.
3) The return of the 12" GIJoe! I remember when Target first released "Duke". You had to sign up to get one. Then the Hall Of Fame Joes and those cool outfits and accessories. Even JCPenney got on the bandwagon and released the RDF soldier and footlocker w/ 3 extra outfits. And soon Lanard followed suit. Toy catalogs offered generic uniforms for them. I was in Heaven! And my after school kids and I formed a GIJoe club.
4) I started going to Star Trek conventions! My first one in San Fransisco, I saw DeForrest Kelley. I went to so many of these, that I sometimes got to help w/ the auctions and got free stuff. I also attended Highlander and Beauty & The Beast (TV series) cons too.
5) Cool Nick At Nite Marathons! Getting all excited when Puf-a-Palooza (Krofft Marathon) or pre-TVLand Retro Rewind nights (Friday 1972 or Saturday 1976) came on. I'd get fresh VHS tapes and record an watch them all!
