During my worst days, I find myself coming to your channel and remembering what it was like in the days without worry. My happier younger days. Thank you so much. Please keep making these and add as much as you can to the years of the 1970's. I could watch for hours!
Born in 1959. Watched 1967 through 1977 back to back to back, and it truly was like my life flsahed before my eyes... only better... I'm not dead... heh heh heh.. tnx j
I was born 1st day of 1958 so I was 13, was stuck to t.v. like glue. Unlike today I don't even have a t.v. My choice of entertainment is picking what I want to watch on RU-vid. Like these shows of old. No I am not living in the pass but remember how much kinder and gently this world use to be as far as entertainment go. Miss those day
I was 10 years old building a fort in the woods behind my house, grew up in very rural Louisiana, nothing beats growing up in the country, no video games, no internet, had over 60 acres and nothing but my imagination
It's funny I grew up in a big City Philadelphia neighborhood called Kensington where Rocky was filmed. I wish feel bad for the kids having to grow up in the country. You couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I walk to school I walk the playgrounds to the corner store to the candy store to the arcades up the Avenue. Out in the country you're trapped tell a grown-up with the car wants to let you do something
Wow! What a great year! Graduated High School in 1971. Fell in love with my High School sweetheart. We got married in 1975 and were together for 30 years before I lost her. I turned 18 and enlisted in the Army, and then made it a career. Lots of wonderful memories started in 1971.
Yet another masterpeice! You don't simply show high-lights (I've noticed) But actually give a feel for the period. This time represented some of my earliest memories... and you brought them back with crystal clarity again! (Thank you again!) & YES, that Carlin line about how 'IF you won't kill 'em... we won't let you beat 'em up!' is one of the greatest observations on American CIvilization! EVER!
In June of 1971, I would graduate from high school. That fall, I would start college. I remember the movies and the shows. Good times until Brian ' s Song, cried for 45 of the 90 mins.
71 was a wonderful year, every fall I go back there remembering walking my dogs every night when I came home from work, they would be waiting in the window for me, something in the air that year
Not even thinking about entering this world. 😂 My twin brother and sister were born in this year. ❤ I love how well put together these videos are. You're awesome Johnny! 🙌❤
the world seemed so magical back then when i was a kid. this was my introduction into the world, i watched all those tv shows. and mostly i was fascinated. i was about six years old or so...but so many images of those times, and tv, make the images of my reality, in my mind...and the images are all there.
That Ali-Frazier fight was HUGE. Everybody was talking about that fight in 1971. Even my old biddy English teacher brought it up in class. 1971 for a great year for me. I was 13 and had two paper routes. I was making about $200 a month which was a lot of money for a kid in those days. My dad used to borrow money from me. lol
Ah! Williard...! I wanted to see that movie SO bad when I was a child! Instead my parents took me to Willie Wonka, more age appropriate...RIP Gene Wilder.
I seem to remember X rated movies were around then- I wouldn't call that wholesome. Plus, A Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs, and The French Connection came out in 1971. Many things come to mind about the early 1970s but wholesome and clean isn't one of them. I was 9 years old in '71, by the way.
Being a NYC’er, I remember the Frazier/Ali fight at Madison Square Garden in ‘71! Cannon, Marcus Welby MD, Medical Center, All in the Family...remember them all! If I live to be 500, I’ll never forget that CocaCola jingle you closed with! Your channel never ceases to bring on a big smile! Please keep up the great work 👍👌😎✌🏻
Thanks Roberto.... I was 8 when "The Fight" took place. I didn't know much about boxing, but I remember hysteria that surrounded it... it was amazing :)
Duel! Stephen Spielberg's first movie and written by Richard Matheson(?), I loved this movie when I was a little girl. Now my sons and I watch it at least once a year.
The ABC movie of the week ha some real gems in the 70's for sure... Trilogy of Terror, Bad Ronald, Killdozer, Crowhaven Farm and my personal fav, Outrage (1973 )
There were a lot of classic movies of the week. And not just ABC. Bad Ronald, Trilogy of Terror, The Norliss Tapes, Horror At 37,000 Feet. Too many to list here. Thanks for watching :)
yvette mendia I remember the night it was shown on ABC TV the local station, WREX Rockford, had an unscheduled off the air moment at the end of the movie. They got lots of calls from irate viewers, so the station preempted the 10 pm news to show the end of the movie.
i just discovered these,,,,i love them,thanks for posting,,total trip back in time to my childhood,,,such a refreshing change from all that is going on in todays world and all the crap on youtube,,,,,
Johnnyboy, I am watching all your postings, and you have done a fabulous job! I'm almost sixty, and was right in the middle of all this. I saw some postings complaining "where is this or that? Don't pay attention as there are always negative people who don't accomplish anything yet complain about others. You took your time and effort to complete these videos and did an awesome job! You should be proud. Thanks again for all these memories, and keep it up!
@M M Yes! Cassidy a true "idol" of the day, AND, he could sing!!! I don't know "WTH" the young girls today have for 'idols'!! Most are ugly and sure can't sing!! 😜
Once again, you did your usual great job. You brought back so many memories of my sophomore and junior years in high school, happy and sad. "Duel" was a great TV movie, but it played over the weekend my grandfather passed away. Hard to separate the 2, but that's life.
I also graduated in 71, and it was a great year for me. I had no money and no idea for the future, but it eventually worked out pretty well for me. With no money, I don't associate these movies with 1971; I didn't see them until years later. To me, it was TV and music, not including the free and easy days hanging with friends and chasing girls.
Started Senior year and was preparing to take my Senior Class trip to sunny Southeast Asia, courtesy of Mother Green, the Killin' Machine, 'til death do us part...did a Lot of acid that year and loved every minute of it. Not getting killed in Vietnam ruined my life's plan...
I remember "Medical Center ", "Marcus Welby MD ", the Coca Cola commercial where the kids sang "I'd like to teach the world to sing " which actually was a hit single on the charts, & of course, the Indian with the tear in his eye, he was actually an American Indian actor who appeared on shows like "The Lone Ranger ".
Maybe it started on a different year, but there was a show at night that had McCloud, Mcmillan and wife, and Columbo. The beginning of that show haunts me to this day. Love your videos. Thanks for posting.
I was 14 and in 7th grade. Thanx for posting this! It, and all your other videos, are awesome and really bring back a lot of memories! For this one though, I wish you would have put in something about the Apollo 13 crisis that year (when their spacecraft was crippled en route to the moon, they had to do some "Rube Goldbergs" on it and very nearly didn't make it back to earth)
Hello! and Thank you once again! Every time that I watch one of your videos, it leaves me with a smile on my face, and joy in my heart! The memories that you bring back for me are incredibly happy ones. Thank you for that gift! You have a great talent here, thank you for sharing it with all of us. ~Gina
I was born in 71....I remember watching a lot of those shows......Hey who remembers creature double feature......on channel 56 with uncle Dale Dorman...
Remember all of this very well. I and my husband at the time lived in Emeryville, Calif. He was an AC Transit bus driver and I worked in downtown Oakland for H.C. Capwells in the Accounts Payable Dept. My folks were still alive at the time living up in Virginia City, Nevada. Loved the All in The Family, Cannon etc. Life was good back then. Thanks for the memories!
1971 ??? I was just a Year old !! I didn't know about anything back then !! Lol no i was only a Year old I didn't start watching All in the Family , The Brady Bunch until i was much older, WOW, that was a time of Peace and Innocence. Oh my goodness, I can't believe i missed some of these great Family shows !! Jimmy Stewart is / was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, my hometown.Rest In Peace Jimmy ! I have watched "Duel", and after i saw it i have been petrified of Trucks, parked or not, i walked behind a parked tractor ( Truck ) for the first time, i thought it was going to start up and back over me, lol, i was 37 YO !! Now I'm 48, and still deathly afraid of trucks.
In 1971 while people listened to 8-track tapes, the GPS system you use today was launched into orbit for the military. Imagine what capabilities the government has now that you'll think are amazing in 25 years... and that you'd think are impossible now.
Oh wow! George Carlin,. ( sure miss that guy!). "Play Misty for Me", "Summer of '42".... Archie, Sonny & Cher......Chad Everett! All of them! Yes, great times!
I was out in L.A.hanging between sunset strip and Venice beach via Santa Monica Blvd.stayed in Venice mostly and almost e every night went to the beach house nightclub where iron butterfly and Black Oak Arkansas played most every night and we would panhandle enough to get in and buy a role of reds seconal downers for a buck and this was right on Venice pier the girls were California Girls and there were lots of them one of the best times of my hippie life👍😎✌
