I was a big fan of Ellen Degeneres in 1997, when she came out and everyone freaked. I was so mad that show got cancelled. I feel it is some sort of karmic justice that she is so successful now.
If I saw The Day After I don't really remember it. I think I'll look for it though because now I am interested. I probably avoided it because The Cold War was so real to us when we were young (I remember lying awake at night thinking about the total oblivion thing...scary.) I was a senior in HS in 1983, but that fear from an entire childhood was still very strong.
