Wow...long time since this thread was updated. Still missing the 70's? One thing I do miss lately is the pretty awesome tv shows! Use to love Welcome Back Kotter, and the original Sat. Night Live players. I remember watching Monty Python & the flying circus late at night. And the Late night Concert shows! Anyone have a few fav. tv shows from the 70's?
I miss the music; the TV(back when curse words were still forbidden); people enjoying the simple pleasures in life (instead of everybody being attached to an electronic device); the vehicles (you could actually tell the difference between them then-now they all look alike);the slower pace; having to get all dressed up to go to a disco/club-unlike now-people go in looking like slobs; the hairstyles; some of the fashions; the food (back before everybody was all up-in-arms about HFCS/fat/carbs and just ate and enjoyed every bite); people back then didn't seem as cynical and rude as they are now; kids were happy getting real toys for Xmas and didn't expect their parents to drop hundreds of dollars on the latest electronic gadget; watching all the Christmas specials; watching variety shows like Donny and Marie, the Brady Bunch, Sonny and Cher; roller skating every weekend; the drive-in(we still have one here in Vineland, NJ); when TV commercials were actually entertaining instead of stupid; the economy (better than it is now);and the #1 reason I miss the 70's: my folks were still alive and healthy.
Your last line resonates. I started the '70s with both parents and all four grandparents. Now, just my dad is living.
I came of age in the '70s and miss a lot of things from that time. There's nothing like youth. I started driving in the '70s, started drinking then and learned a bunch of other things.
I was not a disco fan, but the '70s had a lot of other good music, especially in the early '70s. As for TV, I had a major crush on Valerie Harper and loved Charlie's Angels
The 70s were a bit late for me. I was too busy to pay much attention to the era. I finished the service in '72 and then it was time to hit the books and try to build a future with a new wife and young daughter. I spent most of the 1970s in school. It was fun but I don't relish doing it again.
