The sitcom Friends was in its 4th season; and the sitcom Seinfeld was in its final season. Great season for NBC.

-"Make Em Say Uhh" by Master P
-"They Don't Know" by Jon B

I remember the first three of those; I think they became hits during the summer months. Nonetheless, they remained on the charts into September and beyond. Third Eye Blind also had a follow-up single with "How's It Going To Be" that did well on radio.



In additions to songs:
-Dawson's Creek
-Titanic
-Starship Troopers
-Premier of South Park

Yes, those were popular TV programmes/films. Titanic dominated in the cinemas for a good part of the 97-98 fiscal year, that's for sure.

January 1997 was when I entered graduate school.

I was in kindergarten that year. I remember my grandma babysitting me while my parents went to see Titanic. My mom took me to see the reissue of The Little Mermaid and the animated movie Anastasia in theaters. I had really gotten into the anime Sailor Moon.

I was in year 12 of school in 1998. (Born April 1980)

Everybody in my school talked about Titanic or 7th Heaven. Sabrina, too. I was friends with one boy who liked The Adventures of Batman & Robin and ThunderCats (it had been airing on Toonami.) I remember bringing in the game disc for Sonic 3D Blast on the Saturn when there was a day we could all bring in a CD, because the game disc played the soundtrack when put in a CD player. Nobody really cared, except for Lisa (longtime friend) and Mark (the boy I mentioned earlier, who people always called "Marky Mark.")

This was the last full school year before the Columbine High School massacre.  Which changed everything.  :\'(

That was scary. My son was in high school at that time and it was scary for us as parents.

Oh my, that must've been scary

Even those of us far removed from school were deeply grieved by Columbine

But this event happen in 1979 not within the 1997-1998 School Year?

i was commenting on the earlier post that linked to the song I Don't Like Mondays.

I was in eighth grade. Everyone seem to be talking about Spice Girls and Hansen. I didn’t really like either of those groups that much. A lot of people played Nintendo 64. Especially Mario,Goldeneye and pilot wing. I went to my first school dance that year. In home economics, I baked a cake and knitted a sweater. We went on a field trip to a nature preserve and did some fun activities such as looking at pond water in a microscope and making apple cider and making Sandcastles.

i was in sixth grade and everyone was either listening to Spice Girls/Hanson or Puff Daddy. I was really into WCW/WWF, South Park, The Simpsons, Ps1/N64 with my friends. Our school did things like a medieval fair and capped it off with a trip to the renaissance fair in NY. We also focused on WWII/Immigrationand heritage
