When Grease first came out on video (1979?), we were one of the only few of my high school friends who had a VCR (they were GIGANTIC then). I remember having a Grease watching party in my living room. This after we'd seen it at the drive-in for 3 Saturday nights in a row that summer!

My parents had a Betamax with a corded remote control.

You throw great parties! Want to come to my house to watch water boil?

My parents didn't get a color TV until after I'd gone away to college. I grew up on B&W.

I had an old TV with the wood veneer casing, clicker dial to change the channels and no way to set up a remote control, until 3 years ago. Then we got a new TV so we could watch DVDs.

"you're the one that want.oooh oooh ohhh"

It's interesting that teens these days still love Grease. Stockard Channing's still cool & not bad looking after all these years.

Now..TV's-are we the only household that doesn't have a widescreen TV??? I think it would only encourage us to watch more TV! Then again, viewing " Radio Ga Ga", " Princes of the Universe" " Friends will Be Friends" and " Driven By You" on a big screen TV would be ideal.

I didn't know that Oz was in color until I went to college. Didn't I feel like a dork when I was oohing and aahing over the pretty colors, while everyone else thought I was a bumpkin.

Yeah, the first time I saw Oz in color when when I was already grown up. And that's when I FINALLY "got" it when they said "Now that's a horse of a different color!"

[Xrayted]

hee hee hee. We watched it on tv every year. We got a color tv (and a record player! ) around 1975 I think. I was 5 or 6 then and asked my Mom if she could make it look the right way again. It's still one of my favorite movies of all time. With or without color. I was also the kid who, at 4 1/2, took a screwdriver to the back of the tv and removed the hard cardboard with the tiny breather holes in it so I could see the little people inside. I was caught while putting the last few screws back in. Fortunately, that bit of technology was eventually explained when I watched the Willy Wonka movie.

Oh too funny, the exact same thing happened to me, but in high school.

It wasn't until color TV that I understood the joke about the "horse of a different color."
