Where To Watch
Pick: What would you watch on TV in 1980?
You have control of the knob. Yes, you had to get up to change the channel.
Look at what Hollywood is producing these days. New Star Trek shows, reboots of Fantasy Island and Charlie's Angels. Was television in 1980 so different?
Well, take a look at the options and decide for yourself.
Speaking of decisions, let's pretend we have traveled back in time to 1980. You can only watch one show at a time. Which will it be?

In 1980, we could only get one channel. Otherwise, I would have watched The Waltons, MASH, Magnum, Charlie's Angels, Happy Days, and the Dukes of Hazzard.
