Remembering The 1970s! 

But NASA didn't really use it. They had a disgusting flavored drink that had vitamin C in it that the astronauts hated but some how later on Tang got marketed as "what the astronauts drink".

GRAPE!!!!!!!!

Thank you for watching and subscribing.

...then one of the Apollo astronauts mentioned on the live mid-afternoon broadcast from space that the stuff 'will never replace orange juice'.

Dude i hear ya. I would never imagine the crap music id have to endure later in life when i was 10 in 77 Listening to kiss boston disco and even these cheesy pop and love songs

Same here. Born in 1968 and find today so depressing. Glad I was born then and experienced the good times and feel sorry for kids born today.

@@pgzzz i would say every generation feels their rearing yrs.had the best of times music art tv movies toys games friend relationships..wait.. Yea ur right it sux now

Born in the 70s but I completely agree

Aww, ME TOO !

Thank you for watching and sharing about your grandmother's house. Seemed like everyone had a gold chair too.

Yeah he really nailed it on the colors of the 70's, so unique, kind of cheesie but at the same time cool.

Yes it was a good sales tactic but wasn't much good otherwise. Thank you for watching!

@@RhettyforHistory How was it a sales tactic ?

When are we leaving I'm ready! Those were the best times ever

Me too

I'm ready also!!!

If you remember "Somewhere in time", (with Chris Reeves, and Jane Seymore), he had coins from the day, to go back in time. I've been saving 60s coins, for when I can go back, and buy a new GTO.

Me too big time much better quality of life., and no pc BS

Same here deniseparker!!

Ditto! Those were the best of times. I feel sorry for kids today who don't know what they missed.

That's exactly how I feel too. We were so lucky to have been born when we were.

Child of the 50s, teenager in the 60s and young adult in the 70s ... and older than dirt in this new century 😏

Me too!! ❤

Totally. I remember loving Friday nights because my mom often served tuna noodle casserole, which I loved, and The Six Million Dollar Man was on at 8:00!

@osiawideman, same here. I loved to go spend the weekends with my grandparents. They had a nicer house than my parent's did. They had color TV and we didn't. I loved waking up to my Granny cooking breakfast, Pawpaw cutting grass, and watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. Then we'd go outside and play. I have an uncle that was only 4 years older than me. My mom was the oldest of her four siblings, so really my uncle was more like my brother instead of my mom's brother. We grew up together. We'd play baseball or basketball, ride bikes, or play hide and go seek. Or if the weather was bad we'd just stay inside and play down in the basement. We always found something to do. Sometimes we'd stay up late and clean the house even though there really wasn't much to clean. I'd polish furniture with pledge furniture polish. I'd clean the bathrooms. It was a gift to my grandparent's. We'd help in the garden sometimes too. Things were different with my parent's though. They didn't get along to well. That made life hard at times. Then my dad past away when I was only 10 years old in 1979. That really turned things upside down. Anyway, at least I can remember some good times back in the 70's. 😉😊

I agree with every word you said I'm miss all of those things

​@@bonniebrown6960 Thanks for sharing your story. I especially could relate to playing in the basement on a rainy day and my friends would come over. I still have most of the toys we played with back then. From Hot Wheels, to Tonka trucks, G.I. Joe, Evil Knievel, my SWAT Police playset, Six Million Dollar Man, Atomic Man. They were all kept neatly stored in a storage room in our house and brought to my house for display after my Mother's passing. The memories.

You left out one thing... Not having a care in the world.

Bet you received lots of blank, confused looks in response.

Ours played a song theme called Good night sleep tight as a view of the sunset was shown

@@davidhibbs6989 That is also the song Lawrence Welk used to end his tv program during that time, too. My grandmother used to watch him.

Nope, sorry, I was wrong, that was a different song titled "Adios, Au Revoir, Ah Weidershein." 🤣

Hello.I loved wearing the shiny silky polyester shirts.

@TinaHayman we are the same age! So true!!

I agree

Thanks for creating this video. This was my childhood. The nostalgia is very delightful and comforting.

Just remember, you are not alone. In the end, all we have are the memories. I remember thinking when I was living through those times how amazing it was! I also remember doubting it could ever be better in the future. Then 9-11 really changed things for the worst. But, I still have a lot of hope for 2025 and beyond.

I feel very sentimental as well.

Agree they never knew innocence

Times actually weren't safer. We just didn't have the internet and 24 hour news. There was a lot of crime back then too.

No kidding ,,,, NOT NOW LOL

@@sfuterfas I agree.. it felt grittier back then..maybe a bit dirtier maybe even creepier. (I was a little kid in 70s San Francisco) but I also felt more warmth.. if that makes sense

Mine too

I was born in the 50'c. And grew up through the 60's and 70 cs and I must say 1970cs definitely was the best time as ever. Wish I could turn the time clock back with he time machine ‼️‼️😉😉👍👍

Yeah...me too. Gravesend Bklyn, Great Food, Goregious Girls, Yamaha Mini bikes, & Rock n Roll! Best times Ever! Very Fond memories. God Bless...😊

We will always have the best music .I was in 7th grade in 74 our music was music real musicians who actually played instruments.singers who actually could sing.😎🎸🖖🥳👍😁🥰those were the days.

My 35+-year-old daughter thinks music started in the '80s. Hah.

Born in 83, listen to music from late 50s to early 90s. I would have to say that I prefer music from 65ish to 89ish though.

Same here! Class of 78 California, La Puente high school, graduated with a 1.8 GPA, can't pass with that nowadays lol

One of the best jokes I heard recently.. "Is it just me getting older, or are grocery stores playing really good music these days?"

Yes it would. It was a great decade. Thank you for watching Brian!

Born '68 too

I was born in the 50s and was in my teens during the 70s but my main adult life was in the 80s . Best time of life was in those 2 decades .

I totally agree with you Brian and have said the same myself. I too was born in 1968.

Also this: Cigarette vending machines everywhere, and everybody smoked everywhere. Even hospitals. Up until 1974, women wouldn't get a credit card separate from her husband. Leaded gasoline was still a thing Drinking and driving deaths were 6 times higher than they are today The mortgage interest rate was 8-10% and about to jump about 16 in the 80s.

@@stupidd6513 yup, the 70’s were great. Men were men, women were women. I’m so glad I grew up in the 70’s instead of growing up with a bunch of wimps that don’t even know what bathroom to use.

@@williamsporing1500 That just a perceived problem in your own head. Remember when Boomers threw a fit over: Corporal Klinger dressing as a woman? Milton Berle and his cross dressing skits Flip Wilson loved dressing like a woman. Tootsie was a good movie about a cross dresser. Mrs Doubtfire? Bosom Buddies? Heck, go back to Some Like it Hot. Did exposing yourself to those images confuse you as to which bathroom to use? How much time are you spending pondering what is inside a stranger's underwear?

@@stupidd6513 ?

I was born in 1970 as well. I'm grateful that was when I grew up ...I remember when the 80s started in the Reagan era and I could feel a huge change that was not for the good. The preppy era...I wasn't a fan,at all!!!!

As a teenager in the 60s I never got much freedom. Had to always ask permission to go anywhere on my own, and more often than not, it was denied. I heard "NO." way too often. I grew up with "NO," whether fair or not.

Not just a "feeling" of freedom, we had actual freedom. Something modern generations can't comprehend. You could get on an airplane without ID, get on a bus without ID and travel across the country. etc. etc.

@@Aryaba Wow that is so true, I had forgotten about that no ID needed

You're right about that and all those things did have a distinctive smell! Thank you for watching Laura!

Ha. I can remember my lunch sandwiches as well. The trouble is 90% of the time they were bologna mayo with lettuce. Sadly every day I was stuck eating sandwiches with soggy slimy lettuce but as a kid. I was too dumb to think of a better way to ask mom to prepare the sandwiches. If I would have had mom pack lettuce in a baggie seperate from the sandwich my sandwiches could have been crispy everyday. Imagine eating a brauswager sandwich with slimy lettuce. In a way it has helped me as an adult. Cuz now day old Big Macs are no issue for me if I eat them a day after purchase.

@@jeffcarlson3269 I used to put a salad in my thermos and put the dressing on it before school so the salad would be soggy and wilted by lunchtime. For some odd reason I liked it that way. 😄

Actually, economically America was grim in the 1970s but still fun for children and teenagers.

The economy didn’t really turn bad until ‘77 or so. The early 70s still had most things pretty affordable, despite the invention of the latchkey kid signaling the end of the single income still allowing for a very comfortable home life. But we were still able to not have to worry so much. Late 70’s, very different picture.

I remember very long gas lines....

@@MrDewayne You SHOULD talk to people WHO grew up in the 50--60's. It was JUST as good as the 70's, MOST would ever say it was Better.

I was born in that same time frame and like everyone, loved to watch cartoons. So I recently discovered Metv, a nostalgic tv network that just added three hours of classic cartoons from 7AM to 11AM every Saturday morning. They show lots of great old cartoons, and they're not worried about being all politically correct, they just show them. I'm now in my 50's and I watch cartoons every Saturday I can. Give it a try and get back in touch with your inner child, or something like that.

You’re right, and it was so cool to get letters in the mail! A whole different feeling.

Yes that used to be a trend. Some magazines for children, would have a letters page, requests looking for someone to write to. School also promoted this idea of write to someone, from another country. Sometimes they would come and stay with you and you go and stay with them in their country

Same here. I had a pen pal from France and one from Egypt. Yes, writing on paper with a thing called a PEN. 😁 Great times!

Yup, the best time to grow up as a child . I believe it was the last decade when kids were real kids , playing out side from morning to dinner. Riding our bikes all over town and hanging at the neighborhood parks and doing different crafts there . They had park and rec teachers then for free and they played with the kids all day to dark and did crafts and lots of games. They don't do that any more. I remember eating breakfast as fast as I could so we could go out side with all our friends. We did not need all those expensive toys f today. All we wanted was our bikes,skate board and a ball.we played freeze tag, hide and seek, kick the can , and kick ball.... we built neihborhood forts in the woods and tire swings... .we were fierce ,fast and knew how to have fun. When our parents called us in to eat we would eat as face as we could .we couldn't miss out. We all played together , the entire neighborhood ,boys and girls and we had a blast. Yes growing up as a kid in the 70s was the best and we had the best time of our lives ..

Remember the bottles of soda in the vending machines with the long skinny door? The soda was SO cold and refreshing! .25 cents for a 16oz GLASS bottle.

Me too..I had a great childhood

It was a great decade and you definitely have some special memories associated with it. I feel like it was completely different than how things are now for kids. They certainly have no idea how it is to wait for the Muppet Show to come on. You certainly couldn't play it anytime you wanted. Same thing with Saturday Morning Cartoons. I was like you in that I wanted a lot of old shows in syndication. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I was also born in '72 and was also into a lot of the things you mention. Star Wars was a huge of part of my childhood and still a big part of my life....the pre-1997 Star Wars, that is. Before it went downhill beginning with the Special Editions to today's Disney Wars, which I will never acknowledge as canon or consider it as Star Wars at all.

That was my youth area also was born in 1965.

Giant robot , sigmund the sea monster , porky’s lol ..

Don't forget Lancelot Link Secret Chimp, The Banana Splits, H.R. Puff n Stuff, etc!!!

There were certainly some good ones from that decade! Thank you for watching!

Toys ... yes, some really creative ones. I remember being inside of a convenience store on one of our trips, and seeing packages with these tiny plastic toilets, in pink or blue, whose bowls were filled with tiny granules of candy. Alongside each one was a tiny scooper. I can just imagine some kid standing before the adults at a formal gathering with one of these things, scooping out the candy, and proclaiming, gleefully, "Hey, look! I'm eating out of the toilet!"

Those were rough and turbulent times in the late sixties and it sure carried over into the 70s with all of that. I come from a military family so I definitely understand what you are talking about. I'm also a big fan of those late 60s cars. Thank you for watching Patricia!

Hee Haw was another great show that I love. Roy Clark is buried right here in Oklahoma and I have a video on him. Seeing a curtain made out of those pull tabs would have really been neat. I never saw that. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories!

The puffing cigarettes were the bubble gum ones , made with corn starch on the wrapper paper to prevent sticking of gum . The smoke was the corn starch. I loved the gum cigars that came in yellow and pink with a cigar band . That was a mouthful of bubble ! The pull tabs , hung between rows of colorful beaded curtains or hanging brass bells was the thing . Add the shag carpet and whoo hoo you were in style .

In 1978 I wrote an operatic parody of Star Wars (based on The Pirates of Penzance), and included a bit in which Darth Vader complained that when he ran off some new storm troopers on his Xerox machine, they came out Harvest Gold instead of the standard white. Seventies humor.

Lol I remember those candy cigarettes - we thought we were so grown "smoking " them!!!

Who remembers watching the Saturday morning cartoon lineup until 12:00 pm- after that there were public tv shows to watch ( like Kukla, Fran, & Ollie & Mister Rogers , etc.)
