Hmm, my memories of the 70's. Keep in mind I was born in 68.
I remember Nixon on TV all the time-yes, it cut into my cartoons so I was naturally pissed off about it.
The horror of the fashion. Ditto's and wallaby shoes.
The terrible mushroom hair cut that my mom made me get. I hated it. I had beautiful waist long ringlets and she cut it off!
I remember that 2 popes died and once again, no Sat. morning cartoons. How dare they interrupt my Scooby Doo!
Teachers making us learn to Disco dance to Saturday Night Fever-child abuse!
Big time. She was a cool teacher, other than the dancing and making us sing folk songs. She had a container that she filled with sugar-free candies, or carob candy, peanuts, stuff like that. If you were good, you got to guess how many were in the jar. I never won.
We saw Grease at the drive in theater. It was cool.
I liked the music in it. I wasn't in to music back in those days, I was born in 68 like Fuscia.
So I was around 10.
It's weird, two of the songs that I hated, wound up being favorites of mine after I grew up. Hopelessly Devoted to You and Stranded at the Drive in.
The rest of the songs, my ten year old brain liked a lot.
I remember seeing Nixon on tv. He said Uh, a lot. I asked my dad why he said Uh all the time.
I didnt really know who he was or why he was on tv.
I remember Wonder Woman coming on tv for the first time. We watched the season premere. I liked it a lot. I thought her stopping bullets with her wrist bands was cool.
If you have see the first one, Linda Carter stands in front of an crowd and they shoot at her. She blocks the bullets with her bands.
She asks, anyone else. This old lady pulls a machine gun out of her giant purse and opens up on Wonder Woman. She whips her arms around real fast and blocks them all.
The next day in elementary school, all the kids were talking about that scene.
I have not see the show since then, it's probably a hokey scene now, but back then it was cool.
I also remember the 6 million dollar man. I loved that show.
We went to the beach one time and it was hot. We swam and got wet. We went home and the ac was on and we were cold. We wrapped up in this giant blanket and watched tv.
That was cool.
Ha ha, I am talking like a kid, cause I am remembering kid stuff.
Lee Majors was the bionic man. That show blew me away when I was a kid. I watched it every week. It was always good. One time he fought this outer space tank thing. I used to pretend I was the bionic man and was beating up tanks. ha ha.
The show degenerated, he met up with bigfoot towards the end. Even to my small child mind, that was stupid. Oh well.
I also remember the land of the lost. I would watch that a lot. Marshall, Will and Holly and that little ape thing always running from the sleestaks.
I also watched the monkeys. That is a show I hate now, it's so stupid but back then I loved it.
I remember a bunch of diaster movies too. Like tidal wave with Loren green, and the towering inferno and the posidon adventure.
man, it seems all my 70's memories are tv or movie related. I was a couch potato extordinare!
