Great post Lucia. I have to brag about my mom again. She's great! Worked in jewelry most of her life, met more rock stars than I could only dream of, and cable guys too! While the guy was buying a ring she casually asked when we were getting it on our street. She probably flirted with the guy too. Heh heh! Anything for cable in 1983 or 84!! Go mom!!! She also went above my dad's head and bought a VCR. We were lectured at length on "how much it cost" so we'd all be coordinated when dad got home from work. The place was "having a sale..a VCR for only $150" in 1984!! What a deal! 
It was a tough as nails Zenith. I'll never forget our first trip to the video store. I think the place had about 70-100 tapes. Popular movies, Tom & Jerry cartoons. I don't remember what our first was. Probably something like Tootsie that we all liked. We each got one. Not dad, he don't like movies.
I was a huge TV watcher (mostly late night and weekends), but like you I still got out and did stuff with friends. It was actually my Commodore 64 that made me become more of an introvert. That evil machine!!
