I use to laugh to myself in the 70's whenever I heard a college student explain to an older person "Hey man, I'm just doing my own thing". On many campuses, their own thing looked a lot like everybondy elses own thing.
I remember that the only TV show anyone would bother watching in the dorm sitting room was "All in the Family". The room would be packed. I can't remember any other show at the time that pitted one generation against the other with both sides being funny.
"Those were the days."
This is worth reading for more facts and opinions about All in The Family.
