The 70's brought about a big change in TV after All In The Family. Some of the best shows ever. Thanks for watching Larry... have a wonderful holiday !!!
Great TV from 1975! I was 10 and enjoyed the excellent TV shows like Kojak, Baretta, The Rockford Files, SWAT, Good Times, All In The Family, Maude, The Six Million Dollar Man, Starsky and Hutch, Police Woman, Chico and the Man, Police Story, The Jeffersons, Welcome Back Kotter and many more....
I was 8 in 1975 . . And yeah I remember alot of it . . Including my third grade teacher's name . . . I bought my third grade teacher lunch in 2018 a year before she passed . . She was a good teacher and in 2018 I seen she was a good person as well as being a good teacher . . I'm glad I got the opportunity to buy her lunch and spend some time with her as an adult .. . I'll always remember her and what a sweet person she really was .
Texas3Step -- My husband and I were married 💏 💒 in a park in Newport News, Virginia in 1976! We just had our 40th anniversary in July! I graduated High School in June of 1975 in Hampton, Virginia, and he in May of 1974 in Illinois, and was in the Air Force, from October 31, 1974 until August, 1977. He did a "RIF" (Reduction In Force) due to post-Viet Nam downsizing. Totally voluntary, but you had to jump through some hoops to qualify. He did, even though they wanted to send him (us) ✈ to ENGLAND for a few years, and I thought that would have been a once in a lifetime opportunity to be within jumping distance of all Europe, and get there on the government's dime in the process! What a marvelous opportunity for sightseeing trips 🚄🚢📷🚗✈🚟 and such, but it was his job and his enlistment 👮 not mine. So, I let him know how I felt about it, but he had to make the final decision, and he decided he wanted out. So, we got out instead of staying in a while and going to ENGLAND! I was really bummed about the whole deal 😖😭😱 but what could I do? Not much, just stick together. And 40 years later, here we are. 💏 Two grown kids 👪 and six grandkids 👨👨👨👧👦👶! It's all good.
Texas3Step -- Yes indeed! It certainly was a stunner to realize that we've been together longer than almost anyone else we know! The only one that comes immediately to mind is his youngest sister and her husband, who were married for three years already when we got married, but she was much younger than either of us when she married (at 16) her husband, and I think he was 19. His other sister, also younger (my husband is the oldest of five) than we were when she married at 16, but they are not together anymore and haven't been together for years. But, life moves on! We have had our ups and downs, found a few boulders in our pathway through the years, but the biggest thing is that while we may have been angry, and we may have been upset, we still helped each other around those obstacles, and become all the stronger for it. NOT headed straight for a lawyer's office the minute things got a little rough - or even a lot rough. There was a part of our marriage vows that always rang true, where we BOTH said something about "for richer for poorer, for better for worse, in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part" that always seemed to support us through those tough times. We both came out of less than ideal home-lives, and already knew what it took to screw one up - or more to the point, what it would take to keep one going, so we did that instead! Kind of like using them as examples of what NOT to do. And, forty years later, here we are!
You're right Sam! Not everyone was watching so much TV! I graduated HS that year and this Rock became my mantra. Worried about the draft, I had plans to go up North to seek my fortune (Alaskan Pipeline), but the war ended. That music got me by.
I graduated 8th grade, 1975. My freshman year September (?) school started. I bought Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti November 1975. Cross Country, home game dances, my first high school girlfriend, hair down to my shoulders, none on top now, soccer after school.
The best thing from 1975 was The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Even today well into my 50s I still love to watch this classic. Let's do the time warp now!
I was five. Alive, just in time to remember all this. I have never forgotten having the crap scared out of me watching Trilogy Of Terror on tv. Music was born in my brain as soon as I heard the TV theme song from S.W.A.T. and I also loved, Glen Campbell's, 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' The big memory from that year was that my parents got a divorce. I survived it while growing up in the Awesome '80s.. lol
I’m 59 now and I remember all of this! All In The Family was the top rated TV show, Jaws was that year’s top grossing movie and The Sunshine Band had the number one song on the radio “Get Down Tonight”
I was 9 years old, remember most of this. We watched a lot of TV, but there were only maybe 7 or 8 channels in NY, so everyone watched network news, the new fall line up, and PBS Masterpiece Theater. One day at a time, welcome back Kotter, starskey and hutch, Captain and Tenile, Fame, Kiss, the Hustle!!! what a year
What a delight! Somebody watched Masterpiece theater !,! I CLAUDIUS was so good. I am white, but we always watched Soul Train, but hated j revolts on kotter...DARK SHADOWS had a flock of girls running home from the bus stop for Barnabas!! Things were more human before Internet.
The older I get the more I miss the 70s. I was just 8 years old 10 years younger then you and now I'm 50 :-( Getting old sucks....................................
You can take even the tough times (this period was a rough patch in my life) & make the memories bright! Keep up the positive vibes! It seems this century needs it! Many thanks as always!
Thrashpondo Pons I was thinking the same thing! It was a very difficult time for my family, but TV was a welcomed distraction. There were still thought provoking issues on sit-coms, and dramas. Not the stupid topics addressed these days, the structure of shows have gotten bad with constant set ups and one liners with no poignant topics.

@james c my dad had just turned 63 four days earlier. First time I was able to buy him gifts with my own money, I still remember to this days what the gifts were. I sure do my my dad. He was a true "gentleman" in every sense of the word. 😍😇🙂
Graduated high school, started college, traded my beautiful 69 Riviera in on a new Honda Civic.....guess which one I wish I had now. Saw all of these movies and shows... Good times!
I turned 12 the Spring of that year....I was really getting into popular music, etc. with my friends...and girls......started Jr High School........I remember all this stuff!
Wow. My freshman year September. I saw Jaws in Sacramento just after President Ford's assasinnation attempt. I qualified for the Sacramento Invitational cross country meet. Bands used to sing Fame at high school dances. I bought Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti in November. As I got into high school, I didn't watch too much TV. But boy some of these commercials do bring back memories.
I was 19, and in Air Force boot camp and technical school for most of the year. On the day we graduated basic and got to Denver for school my buddies and I walked from base to the nearest theater, about 20 blocks away, to see some new movie about a shark that we heard about...... Bought my first motorcycle when I got to my station in California.
I was eighteen and at the Air Force Academy. A few friends and I would occasionally get a weekend pass, go to Denver, and play the fool for a couple days.
These videos are damn near masterpieces. Hands down the best "remember when" videos on youtube. And I loved how you gave a clip each to Larry and Moe when you could have easily used the first one for both. Subtle touch that makes it so much better.
Same. These videos have made me laugh and tear up at the same time, remembering a time in my life where many of these clips were part of the landscape. Thank you, @Johnnyboy792 for creating an amazing time capsule.
I was 10. In Wisconsin in the back of mom and dads truck visiting dads cousin. Wow! Cannot believe it's been that long. And I remember Steve Martin and the wild and crazy guy! Good times!! It's just not the same anymore
Subscribed earlier loving this channel 15 in 75 living on south shore in Ma thanks to Jaws my friends and I had Nantasket beach pretty much all to ourselves that summer..thanks for all these great memories Johnnyboy
Thanks...These are amazing. Very well done and bring back a LOT of memories. Wish you has 1969 and 1970. Maybe they are yet to come? In any case, Kudos for a job well done on ALL of your "Memories of... Where were you" videos. Your hard work and research have not gone unappreciated!
+Dazzlin' Don Thanks Dan. Making plans to do 1978 next... then 1970... 79''' and the 69.... i'll get to Woodstock lol :) Always felt the need to build a time machine for people to remember some wonderful times. I love doing it and am very appreciative of people like yourself - JB
I graduated in 1975. Norman Mathers, real life father of Jerry Mathers (The Beaver-from "Leave it to Beaver" TV show), was the Principal at the school. He had Larry Fine come and give an inspiring talk to our senior class,. I remember him looking frail, but it was great to see, and hear him, shortly before he passed away! Thanks for posting! It was also Linda Ronstandt's big music year debut of the hit song, "You're no Good", still my favorite song of hers! Thanks for such a great montage!!!
Hi Carlos.... I heard Jerry comment in an interview that his family was the main reason he never found trouble like other kid stars did. Thanks for watching :)
@@Johnnyboy792 I've heard the same. The original cast from "Leave it to Beaver" are still close friends. Frank Bank (Lumpy), who has since passed away, helped the other cast members with making very wise financial choices using his professional financial expertise. Tony Dow (Wally), does art sculptures. You should see on Utube where he buys back his original car, a Corvair, 50 years later! Ken Osmond, (Eddie Haskell), was an LAPD officer for 18 years, and has a great 2014 autobiography titled, "Eddie" that I read, and recommend! I'm seeing some of your other stuff, for the first time, and I'll keep watching....because it's well worth it, you do great work!!
@@carloscarpinteyro332 I read Ken's bio, it was great... and until his passing I was friends on Frank Bank's FB page. I called him Mr. Banks in writing him and he said "aw just call me Lumpy" Great guy :)
That was wonderful as always Johnny! I truly loved it. So many memories..... Thank you You do a great job capturing those moments long ago now ( lol for me it seems like yesterday)
13years old stuck in a village misunderstood rather like today but older- I did move out tho' but always return after an emotional crisis . I will leave soon but this time never return 💝
+redhairkid I went to visit my relatives in Redding in the early 70's Loved the Fish & Chips and Hugie Green but three telly channels was a little tough to get used to lol :)
I met my wife in 75 we had the best music in the world! and to this day there is nothing better! 2 years latter we lost our king. we went to the movies and saw jaws, in 76 we went and saw rocky, sometime in there we saw carrie. man in my mind I am still there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We went to Disneyland back in 1981, and although it was not for me, I got where it was coming from, it was allabout a family all having a good time. We also went to Knott's Berry Farm and Magic Mountain, and I wish wecould all return to that more innocent time.
Johnnyboy I love watching your video compilations. I could sit here and watch them all night. Brings me back when life was much simpler. Thanks for the memories.
Johnnyboy792 Hey Johnny here's a challenge...create a montage of all of the most popular,Iconic and famous pop culture events,T.V Shows,Films and Events of the 1990's in America set to the song Finnesse by Cardi B.and Bruno Mars
Hi😀 I'm Renee from Winchester, California. I'm 51 now, I was 7 then. My childhood was terrible but seeing commercials like this makes me feel happy. My grandparent's raised me from 5 to the age of 15.I was raised in Anaheim. My uncle Kevin lived at home until the age of 27. He was a surfer and I remember the surfboard on the floor during the summer. He was a great memory for me. Thanks for your videos 🤣
Hi Renee ! Thanks so much for tuning in. As an only child, I had friends but TV was a comfort zone to me. I really hope that the video brought back some happy memories and also hope life has lead you to a better place. All the best to you and again many thanks for watching. BTW i'm going to start my 1983 video next month. I see you were 15 at the time :):):)
I'd rather have memories of the freedom we had, the clear cut good/ bad guy on TV, and the poem, " High Flight" read right before TV went off at midnight, than all the electronic, Thrones, and whatever zombies kids have today...we were proud to say we believed in God..and we had FUN, plain old bikes, creeks, just walking to the store...never afraid of abduction or being shot...Nashville in the 60's. Miss it so.
Great compilation! 1975 was the year I started college. Really takes me back. One little nit: Saturday Night Live did indeed debut in 1975, but the Festunk Brothers ("two wild and crazy guys") didn't make their first appearance until late 1977.
These are awesome videos...You do a fantastic job piecing them together...That summer I was 6 years old living in Miami, Jaws scared me so bad I couldn't even take a bath...That Trilogy of Terror segment is actually one of Cinemas scariest moments great addition to this video! awesome job!
Sure wish we could have a do over. We were young and pretty (29) and full of vinegar and life seemed like a piece of cake. We left something there and will never have it again. Thanks for jogging our memories of better times gone by~!!
Many thank yous Johnnyboy792, for taking me back to 1975, which was part of the best decade of my life-the 1970s!Watching Jaws in 1975 was the best moment, and scariest, of that year.
+Victor Mirabelli That was some Summer Victor ! No one wanted to go into the water as I remember :) Thank you for tuning in.... more coming down the road - JB
I enjoyed watching the entire 70s decade!Johnnyboy, I wish there was a time machine, I really do, because I just want to go back to that decade and stay there!Thanks again for the trip down memory lane.Please don't do the 80s!I hate that decade!
No Face Book. No Twitter. No internet. No cell phones. Just great TV with only three channels. Great FM album rock. Fun top 40 AM stations. People talked to each other. A more authentic time.
I was 6! And remember all of this! Thanks. Whatta treat! Man our tv shows had the best theme music! And that Jaws, I couldn't take a bath in MY TUB with bubbles and not see the water, and would NOT swim alone in a swimming pool! As silly as that sounds now, it sure was no laughing matter than! People were so cool back then. I wish it would have stayed just like that. It was a sweet time to be alive.
1975 will always be remembered as the best year of my life, I was young and in love with the girl of my dreams. That oh so sweet summer of 1975, now so long ago, but the memories are still as poignant and wonderful as ever. Warm beautiful nights under Arizona skies with the song of the locust in the air will never be forgotten nor will my beautiful girlfriend who I loved more than mere words could ever express. We spent many nights cruising in my jet black '70 Dodge Coronet R/T listening to the Bee Gee's, Elton John, Ace, The Eagles, and all of the great music at that time. I was young and in love and everything was right with he world, the promise of love, happiness, and endless tomorrows were ahead, how quickly they passed, now gone forever. All I have are memories of those wonderful yesterdays and now all that remains are certainties, the certainty of growing old, and the certainty of death, I remain a prisoner of my thoughts.
I was 18 that year. I was very ill and became very skinny. Some of the sitcoms, SNL, and awesome films and music provided a lot of comfort during those difficult times.
