I forgot about television!
In the 80s: Hill Street Blues, Cheers, LA Law were all on. All of these shows had graduates from our CFA Drama Department either in front of or behind the camera so it was somewhat obligatory to watch. The big thing was when Blair Underwood (who was a dramat who took a leave of absence for Hollywood
) was cast as a boyfriend of Denice from the Cosby Show. Even the most nerdiest of us Tartans(and there were a lot who vied for that spot) watched that.
My H was both a cadet and a professor at West Point. When he was a student, the drinking age was lower in NY and consequently Ike Hall was the place to be for plebes through cows, complete with sticky floors. When we were there during his professor year in the late 90s, Ike Hall was dead.
I went to my daughter's college Parents Weekend last fall. This school's PW is bizarre in that parents actually go to fraternity parties on Friday and Saturday night. I hadn't experienced sticky floors in some time but the memories came flooding back.
