Not going into major details, due to my work I was able to see "Superman" (1978) around three times before the film opened on release, and was able to meet Christopher Reeve. I was truly saddened on the announcement of his death.
That was where I was.

MTV wasn’t really a thing in the UK. At least it wasn’t generally available, maybe you could get it if you paid for satellite tv.

I liked it before Mearth was born. I still watch repeats every now and then. Robin Williams was the show.

Star Wars was a 70s thing.
I also tend to think of The Smurfs as a 70s thing as that is when they had some songs in the charts. Not sure that the cartoons were ever shown in the UK.

The original of this was a 70s show called George and Mildred. It aired in the UK from 1976 to 1979. It was a spin off from Man About The House (which I believe also had a US copy).
Several UK sitcoms were copied in the US to suit the audience expectations of housing styles and language

The Smurfs were shown on UK television, I distinctly remember the cartoons being on, it must of been in the early 1980s, but cannot place the right time the series was on, my son was young (toddler) at that time, and he does recall watching it.

The movie came out in the 70s. The toys all came out in the 1980s.

Maybe an age difference thing then. I probably wasn’t looking for a new cartoon to watch at that time or perceived as being for little ones.
