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!"

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."

That´s funny. I didn´t realise that Bagpuss (British childrens´ TV character) was pink until I got to Uni. Do you have Bagpuss in the US?

I did a ski course on the weekend. Our coach said on Saturday "so tonight when you go home and watch the biathlon on TV......" at which point four of us put our hands up to say that we didn´t have television. This was out of a group of seven skiers, so DH and I aren´t the only strange ones.
