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.

8. Or you could've invested in New York Islanders season tickets just to see the defending Stanley Cup Champions inflict on opposing teams miserable Saturday Nights on The Island.
