What do you think was the best/worst thing of 1972?
Wallace getting a taste of karma 😌
One word: WATERGATE
The best is the disco, then where I used lived, and the worse was no computer’s.
Dueling Banjos! 🪕🪕
Imelda Marcos Son is the President after 36 years, Time to resume that shoe collection spree
Crazy that all these events and more in 1972 were 50 years ago. Time keeps on moving.
I was a sophomore in high school in 72, and for me these events seem like just yesterday.
Was born in the late 70s, pls dont remind me how long ago that was lol
@@monkeygraborange my 10th grade year was 1997, from Princess Diana dying to titanic being a smash hit and technology wise the PlayStation 1 starting to push the sega genesis and Nintendo 64 cartridge to the side it was the beginning of something new.
@@kristiskinner8542 right, I was born in 72 lol
Really??? Time keeps on moving????
In order for the younger folks watching to really appreciate the 70s, I think the premieres should contain a two minute commercial break so they can know the fear of running to use the washroom and get back before the commercial is over.
As a Zoomer, I agree, I really liked the commercials, and would’ve appreciated more of them, no matter how long it takes to find them! 😆
Agreed. I run videos of 70s commercials in the background while I work.
Maybe a seperate revenue stream -- uh, series might be warranted.
They're already out there, we need WH to make it THE place to go for the nostalgia hit.
@@Benni777 they’d just pause it lol
They still have the pause button.
😄
This channel has quickly become one of my favorites on RUclips, and this Timeline series is especially great.
Yup. Weird history is providing a public service.
Your mother is even better.
Best thing about 1972 was being born! Not that I remember that, of course. Growing up in the 70s was interesting, I'm really loving your 70s series, Looking forward to 73!
Best part of '72 is I was 17.
Right I'm with you I don't remember being born 1972 although it says it on my birth certificate. I do remember 1976 Star wars I think. Lol and the year my baby sister was born ,ouch. . Lol Ment I had to share my toys. I grew up in the Bay area Santa Clara California. And I still played outside I think we were the last ones to play outside our generation. Lol
@@isakwilkinson2491 Star Wars was 1977.
Same here!😁
I was born the day the plane crash of the "Alive" movie happened, but didn't know that until I saw the movie.
This is my favorite way of learning about history! A timeline mixed with cultural, political, and historical facts ugh it's just so good!
This is a great way to learn about history, but I'd encourage you to talk to the people you meet who were alive back then. All a show like this can do is go over the facts. People who lived those events can give context and a sense of the importance of those facts. Right now we still have the opportunity to learn from people who were actually there. I used to think it was weird that my mom was alive and active in such historical events, but now I realize that at age 57, I lived through and remember events that to me were just part of growing up, but to others were part of history. Now I understand the value of elders in our knowledge of history. Facts are facts, but what was it like to live through the early Cold War, to have a dad who was part of WWII? There are still a lot of real people alive who can share those stories, and they are invaluable.
Here are the major winners of Academy Awards for films released in 1972:
Best Picture- The Godfather
Best Director- Bob Fosse (Cabaret)
Best Actor- Marlon Brando (The Godfather), declined
Best Actress- Liza Minnelli (Cabaret)
Best Supporting Actor- Joel Grey (Cabaret)
Best Supporting Actress- Eileen Heckart (Butterflies Are Free)
I am STILL listening to The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Listened to it yesterday. It's one of my favorite albums ever made. Love its bluesyness!
It wasn't New Year's Eve without Dick Clark. It's just not the same without him.
You mean Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadian's playing
Auld Lang Syne at midnight?
@@chino3796 LOL, I old enough to appreciate BOTH!
I agree but man those last couple years with Dick were hard to watch.
LOL.
@@RemoWilliams1227 They were. Ryan Seacrest doesn't do the thing I liked, the rambling on about how many tons of trash are removed from the streets and talking about how miserable the weather is, and random factoids. Just once couldn't he have mentioned how many swimming pools of urine were freezing into yellow slush in Times Square?
I was born 3 years earlier so most of this were things I learned after the fact.. That being said the Kool-Aid Commercial was a completely forgotten blast from the past. The life cereal commercial played well into the 80's so I was well acquainted.
Despite not being alive in 1972, I have several older relatives who were, and they often inform me of what happened then, as well as their own personal memories. In that way, I have nostalgia for that year.
yes ❣ I was 9
My late wife was ten years my senior . We often laugh on who had the better decade . She was so cool ...and all the other kids here age were cool , i had to insist it was hers .
My favorite show on RUclips by far, I really feel like I’m living the year
my life changed forever on Sept 25, 1972..,,., my grandfather was stabbed to death while driving a cab in Wichita, Kansas... 50 years and I still havent gotten over it...
*Read in narrator's voice*
1972. The year she started school and began her years long hatred of all things History related. Fast forward to July 12, 2020 when the Weird History Channel would completely break her of that hatred with the premiere of the first of their Timeline series videos. Well played Weird History.... that really was weird.
OMFG Yo That’s pretty Cool and funny 😂 I read that and I can picture him saying this
What a great series. I was 10 in 1972, so this really takes me back. Can't wait to see the rest of these.
Ooooh! I’m excited for you! Seeing your childhood years through this series is really nostalgia inducing ☺️
I turned 8 in 72. Good perspective
ME 2! 👍😊👍
I was 4!✌🏾✊🏾
Yeah, I was 10, too. Those were good times.
The price is right debut and it's still excellent today. 😀👍
The film "Grease" did not make household names out of Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. They were already household names in the 70's. She for her #1 in the US and UK album "If You Love Me, Let Me Know", 1974, and he for "Welcome Back Kotter" 1975. (R.I.P. Olivia).
None of your info was valid in 1972!!! This isn't "Timeline 1974". It's 1972. Grease made them in this year. Boosted their popularity so much they was asked to make albums. Without grease, those 2 don't exist.
@@panteracfh2198 Sorry that you did not understand what I wrote. I know math is hard for some people. But the fact is that at 4:10, the video states, "The film ("Grease", 1978) made household names out of Travolta and his co-star, Olivia Newton-John." I wrote that they were already household names BEFORE the 1978 film Grease. I had a friend who had Olivia Newton John posters on her wall in 1974 which is BEFORE the 1978 film. In 1974, if you asked anyone in the US, Australia, or the UK, "Who is Olivia Newton-John", they would know. That is the definition of a household name. 1974 is a smaller number than 1978. That means that 1974 came before 1978. And John Travolta was a household name in 1975 after the debut of "Welcome Back Kotter." Again, 1975 is before the 1978 film "Grease". 1978 minus 1975 is 3. This means that John Travolta was a household name 3 years prior to when the video states. Sorry that you did not understand that. I know math is hard. Also in English we say, "they were", not "they was". For some people, grammar is hard too.
@@CuestaBroadcasting You can't clarify without being a complete ass?
The decade gets more exciting as the series goes on! Excellent videos!
I was 3 years old and the best thing was my parents still loved each other and my family was together.
🍪🍪🍪
Awe
I watch these with my mom who was born in 1965 so she remembers some of this stuff. It’s so cool to hear stories
Here are the top 10 songs of 1972, according to the Billboard year-end singles chart:
10. Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast- Wayne Newton
9. Brand New Key- Melanie
8. Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me- Mac Davis
7. Lean on Me- Bill Withers
6. I Gotcha- Joe Tex
5. The Candy Man- Sammy Davis Jr.
4. Without You- Harry Nilsson
3. American Pie- Don McLean
2. Alone Again (Naturally)- Gilbert O'Sullivan
1. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face- Roberta Flack
I luv how do you do ?? Mouth and mcneal
@@christiancastro2442 Looks like that one would eventually make it as high as #8, and finish on the year-end chart at #25.
💞 💞💞
Led Zeppelins Stairway to Heaven wasn't even in the top 10.
@@dannydaw59 This is because it never actually got officially released as a single, even though it was included on their untitled fourth album.
RIP Olivia Newton-John ❤ 🕊
This is my favorite series on the channel. I'm looking forward to the 1977 episode, since that's when I was born.
If you ask any puertorican who was alive in 1972 they will all mention the death or Roberto Clemente. He was an absolute legend inside and outside of the park
He’s a legend to anybody who even tangentially follows baseball, whether they were alive in 1972 or not!
Yes, definitely
I was only 6 but I remember hearing on the news when he died
Don't mind me, I'm just enjoying people's posts as they reminisce and share their own stories of their 1972:) Have a nice day, everyone! xo
This is so awesome!
I can’t wait for my 1973 year! I love reading about what was going on during the decade of my birth! & I know I’m not alone 😜
I love these 70s series cause I can show my mom and ask her if she remembers. She graduated in 75 😊
Awesome! Best series out there. My fav was '88. Cheers from Niagara 🇨🇦✌️. This narrator makes anything interesting.
I was 18 in 1972. Love these timelines!!!
Being a child in the 70's really felt like freedom! And PONG was a total blast - my friends and I would laugh and laugh - such an innocent joy. 😊
Being a teenager in '72 was excellent. I feel bad for the kids these days.
@@chino3796
I was a teenager of the 80's and feel the exact same way as you.
@@gothic_oma 90s teen here born in 79 and I think I got the last good decade to be a teen.
@@RemoWilliams1227
Right?! 🙃
Funspot in Laconia, New Hampshire is the Guinness Book of Fecords as the World's Largest Arcade. It has a museum of donated old arcade machines including Pong and Pong Doubles and Computer Space. Computer Space's tv monitor is really weird to see. They are publicly playable.
Absolutely love this series and the channel. One of the best on all of You Tube!
Love this series. It will be a sad day when it is done.
cannot get enough of this show
I wish I could bring back my teenage years in the 70’s. By far the best years of my life.
zero blowback yet for terrorizing the planet...
Absolutely!! I was in the 10th grade and it was without a doubt, drugs, sex and rock and roll. I remember all of these things on the peripheral edge of my consciousness.😃🤣😎
I can't wait!! Thank you Weird History's Timeline!!!! xoxo
On September 4 of that year, CBS added a new game show to their daytime lineup, "The New Price is Right". They picked "Truth or Consequences" host Bob Barker to do this show. I wonder whatever became of this show? 😁
The world will never know.......
I was 2 yrs old in 1972. I'm absolutely loving these videos!! this channel is the best!!!❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe 50 years have passed in the blink of an eye...
I was 18 years old and as wild as they come...
I’m 41 now born in 81. The long way we’ve come huh?
My mother was born on that year and I'm so happy that I get to see what life was like back in the 70's through your videos, even though I was born about 2 decades later.
1972 was probably the best year of the 1970s. The artistries of film and television were at their very peak. If I could pick one year to travel back to from the 70s, it would be this one.
Until you throw in Nixon and The Olympics.
...but I still say what you say about 1972, but about 1994, despite it being the year of Kurt Cobain's death and the OJ Simpson trials. That year gave us Gargoyles, Pulp Fiction, and Super Metroid. Years of great art/ent., years of terrible tragedy.
I graduated high school in 1974. I bought a "show room" model: Mercury Couger XR7 (351 cleavland block!) Sticker price:$6,400, I 'chewed' the sale' man down to $5,200! It was Black w/ a 'landau roof,' white interer. I can't buy a GOOD used car for that price! I signed the papers the night Pres. Nixon resigned; the other sales man wheeled in a TV and said: "Watch this, IT's HISTORY!" (man was HE RIGHT!) FYI: Gas was $0.33 for regular & $0.36 for PREAMEN !!! (pls excuse my spelling) God Bless...
Ahh fellas,,,,,,, I love so much this show, > Doing these "Timeline", 197-.......... just LOVE THEM! Brings me back, way back. You need to do them of the '60's also! So many of us were around during that time also!
Excellent coverage of an eventful year. Thank you so much for all you put into all your videos but especially the timeline. You rock!🎸💜🦋
GREAT JOB, as usual. I know the hard work it must take. Appreciate it
I'm looking forward to both '73 and '74 because of the Watergate investigations that led to Nixon's downfall.
Spoilers
Oh yeah! Franco Harris ... Great Catch! Saw it live!
I was having dinner in a local restaurant about 7 years ago, and I noticed Franco sitting nearby. I couldn't believe how many people went up to his table pestering him while he was trying to eat. They were still talking about the immaculate reception! ☺ 🏈 🤗
@@kmstins Good God! Let the guy eat!
That is pretty cool that You dined so close to a living NFL Legend ... and respected his privacy. Kudos to You!
PS: In re: The Immaculate Reception: I'd bet You $10 that, if Terry Bradshaw were there, he would have told You that he drew the play up exactly that way. Bradshaw's a funny guy. And, Franco Harris ... He was a rookie when he made that catch ... and Touchdown That was his 1st year in the NFL. He was still a kid within the pro ranks! And he was GOOD! ... One of my idols. Do recall that I'd mentioned last time that I was a Running Back back in the day. Quite a coincidence, this event coming up on WH! Seems We've got the Jungian Synchronicity thing going here.
Anyway, Thanks for the Note! Very nice anecdote! Pleasure to read.
... 'til next time, ... 👍👍👍
@@tdesq.2463 Thank you for such a nice reply! Yes I do recall you being a small Running Back and getting your bell rung a few times. 😉 😄 I can't believe you mentioned Terry Bradshaw. I was in a Stop 'n Go one night back in 1978, and Terry Bradshaw, Mean Joe Greene, and L.C. Greenwood walked in. I was kind of like a deer in headlights and didn't know what to say, so I just smiled. They said "hello" and I replied with a simple "Hi". ☺ I can't believe I acted like that. Oh well. It's still one of my fond memories. 👍 Wishing you a great day TD! 🙂
@@kmstins That's AWESOME!!! Like You ran straight into the Steel Curtain, there.
Mean Joe Greene ... #75, as I recall. That guy was Huge!
As for me: Yes. Correct. I was a li'l guy. And yes, I did get my bell rung a few times. But, as my Father would say: "You'll live" or "It's good for you. Builds character." He was right.
Thanks Again for the Friendly Note!
Have a Super Day!

Love Weird History Timelines! You really make reliving these years an amazing experience. The narration is beyond exceptional. Thank you!
aaaah, I see the thumbnail has been changed. This is great, but I was hoping for some dueling banjos from Deliverance!! 🤙💯
man this channel is epic. totally loving this series too.
its so fascinating.
thanks so much for all your hardwork to create and produce all of the content here.
August 26. My parents were married ‼️ happy 50th wedding anniversary to them this year! 🥂👏
Wow it's really been 50 YEARS since I was 17. Unbelievable.
I love these videos!!! Since this stuff normally isn't covered in history books (minus the stuff with Nixon) I'll do a little research as something pops up that interests me. Always fun to learn about things you've never heard about. Can't wait for he next video.
Great way to spend a Sunday morning thank you for the video
I graduated High School in 1972 so it was a year of great change and challenge for me. I continue to venture into photography and became a freelance photographer and also got my second flying license. In following years I completed my certifications and became an airline pilot. I was a professional pilot for 34 years and and airline pilot for 29.5 until my retirement in 2014. Over 26,000 hrs of total flight time and over 21,000 hours as a Captain on the DHC-8 for Piedmont Airlines.
I have nothing to add. I just love this show/channel
I appreciate your research and time in making these videos. Only good and thorough yearbook anthology I know of on RUclips that's not just made for the boomers.
Timeline videos on Sunday mornings are something so good to look forward to.
EXCELLENT program! Commentary: First class! Just keeps rolling...Thank you.
Truly the best decade I was ever born in.
Agreed. If I had a time machine…it would be set for 1970
Same
Really? What about all the other decades your were born in?
I really enjoy these timeline videos. Three more years you will be at the year I was born can't wait to see it.
Although I was born in 1980, I can appreciate the 1970’s. I’m loving this Timeline series, the content is amazing!
I get that, I'm the same. Some of these shows were reruns in syndication at the time, or on Nick at Nite. The music was on our parents' oldies stations, and many of the movies were parodied in the 90s like on The Simpsons.
My memories start in 1972. I turned 2 this year. Mostly memories of stuff on TV and my family. The 70s were terrific! Groovy!
Seeing Burt Reynolds on the thumbnail reminds me of my cousin, who was a dead ringer for Burt in the 70s. I was a lot younger than my cousin, and I always loved going places with him. Someone would say, hey there's Burt Reynolds! And we attracted a lot of chicks. He looked EXACTLY like him.
The decade my fantasy hubby, Idris Elba, was born ***sigh***
Thanks for ALL the Timeline videos 🥰
This is some great content! I love looking back at the life changing events that were positive or negative. Thank you!! Definitely subscribing to your channel 😊
Love ALLLLLL your "Timeline" videos THE BEST!!! Thank you!
I love these timeliness upgrade on my History lessons....very very interesting and informative 👍 👌 👏 😀 love you guys...
🔥THNX!🔥
The R and B Jams of 1972.
Al Green - Let's stay together
The Staples Singers - I"ll Take You There
Bill Withers - Lean on me
The Temptations - Papa was a rolling stone
Joe Tex- I got Cha.
Damn your 23 hours tease haha, looking forward to it tomorrow
I thought the same thing lol
lmao same!
Looking forward to more videos on the 1960s Vietnam War era. Waiting for!
⏰
What I would like to bring back from the 70s.... My youth!
Im going to leave a like before watching because I usually watch these with a really good meal. Thank you for another upload guys
Maude is one of my all time favorite TV shows, even if it started airing 20 years before I was born. I can watch Maude any time and never get bored! Bea Arthur was a really good actress.
Thanks for the memories.
I heard once that when Pong was first released at that tavern the owner called to have them come fix it as it wasn't working. They found it wasn't working bc it was jammed with coins.
That was back when actually controlling something on the TV screen was _amazing!_
Nowadays, it's ordinary.
I was 16. Student at St George's English School in Rome. One of my very happy years.
Yes! Thank you so much for continuing the 70s era! Cant wait for the 73’ video to come up
Timeline is awesome
I love these series!! Great work!
The TV ad interlude music is actually spot on for this episode's year. But the intro music sounds like "the future" when usually it sounds like the past. Weird.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a year!
---TIMELINE ROCKS---
I was conceived and born in 1972. I don't remember any of it, of course but I appreciate seeing this time capsule of my birth year.
Be thankful that you don't remember the being conceived part.😅
I slept in for once... first thing I did... check Weird History for 72 timeline! Thanks for doin what you do! Great vid once again!
I was 2 that year and I had the chicken pox along with my 3 sisters. My poor mother!! Thus is a great series.
So did I! My grandma taped mittens to my wrists so I couldn't scratch. I remember it very well.
Loving the Burt.
Another brilliant episode! Can't wait for the next one.
----TIMELINE ROCKS---
Awesome video, my mother watched it with me too.
This video series is so legendary.
awesome work! love ur timeline vids !
It is really good book about Operation Linebacker 2 aka the Christmas Bombing.
Another Amazing WEIRD HISTORY VID ☺️
I played pong at the local bowling alley when it came out. A couple of years later, I played Star Trek on a high school computer linked by modem to some college. There wasn't a monitor to watch. The game play printed out on a long scroll of paper. We made our decisions on how much power to apply to shields, etc. Then, we decided to use wide beam sensors or more sensitive narrow beam. We decided to use phasers or photon torpedoes. In between each choice, we waited in silence. Then the printer chattered away telling the results of our choices. It was very exciting, with nothing better to compare it against.
Why the hell does this video make me nostalgic when I wasn't even born until 1997 lol
In the last couple of years I've become a huge fan of weird history, But I love these timeline videos you do. I'm already looking forward to the sixties.✌️
RIP Olivia Newton John, the Grease megamix won't sound the same now...will just have to sing it louder and even more off key 😆
Hopelessly devoted
I love these timeline videos
If you guys need a mic drop for 1974, Rush's first album released in March.
🤠🤘
If they need one for 1973, Dark Side of the Moon 🤘
RIP Olivia, you were a really cute Sandy
How about doing a video about the history of face hair? The style of Mustaches beards sideburns goatees worn throughout history and the story of reasons why!
Yes that would be a great history.
The year I was born. Thank you so much for this!
Timeline is y favourite channel, i watch it over and over again thank you for the memory 👍
Plenty of good tunes were released in 1973! Excited for the next year FOR SURE
