I still can't believe TNG premiered in 1987. Reagan was still president, the Berlin wall was still up, the USSR still existed, people still were listening to tapes and LP's...
It was a great time to be alive. I was 7 years old, but I have fond memories of watching TNG every Saturday night on Channel 11. Didn't even have a remote control, but at least I had my own TV, and that would be considered a luxury for a 7-year-old! Good times!
