The value of a dollar. In 1964, I could buy a standard size candy bar (and I bought MANY!) anywhere for a nickel. Then they got a little larger and cost a dime, then 15 cents, then 20...
I kept all of the lunchboxes my sister and I had as kids that were still at my parents' house. I have Holly Hobby too, as well as Strawberry Shortcake, Annie, Raggedy Ann and Andy, and Disneyland. I also have my dad's lunchbox and a Monkees lunchbox that came with a jigsaw puzzle of the Monkees inside of a mini cereal box with them on it, and a VHS video of each of The Monkees' favorite episodes. It seems like it came with something else too, but I can't recall what it was. I used to have a Donny and Marie lunchbox when I was a kid as well, but my mom either sold it or donated it.😭
Kids played outside and socialized in the REAL world. After school and on weekends the kids would play ball and ride their bikes...often a mile or two away from their house. The local parks and school playgrounds were always crowded. Now....the streets are empty. There are no sounds of balls bouncing, or kids zooming around on their bikes. No laughs and cheers. The school playgrounds are now padlocked behind 6 foot high chain link fences like a prison, off limits to the neighborhood kids outside of school hours. It's a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but no bombs went off, no virus wiped out humanity....no...the children are now imprisoned by glowing screens that they stare at during every waking moment. Their friends are now just animated gifs in the corner of that aforementioned screen.
the 70's: TV shows. Will Marsha and Greg finally give into their carnal pashions and do it? Will Cindy drown cousin oliver in a creek out of blood curdeling jealousy? Will Alice and Sam the butcher fulfill their destiny and found the church of the Hoover? Tune in next week to find out!
Saturday morning cartoons! AstroBoy, SpaceGhost, The Jetsons, Archie, AquaMan, and my ultimate favorite, Johnny Quest. Shaggy bugged me so skipped ScoobyDoo. Little did I know that Kasey Kasem did his voice until years later.
Born in the 70s but I was so little, I guess I grew up more in the 80s, had lots of older siblings though and I thought those 8 tracks were so much easier to play than cassettes ever were.
The "distinct clunk" that I remember was from the dial switch when we'd change the TV channel. There would be resistance while turning which quickly gave way when landing on the next channel with a satisfying "thwOONK." I miss the patriotic montage stations played just before going off-air at midnight to snow.
I was born in 1970. My banana seat bike was my getaway from home. There was dial a joke. I thought it was fun. My mom yelled at me because she got the phone bill. I didn't know they charged. The days before worrying about bills.
I had an 8-track stereo in my bedroom, in my parents' cars, and even a portable one I took to school so I could pretend to be Elvis in my grade school talent show.😂
I grew up in the 70's. Saturday morning cartoons. I had the whole morning mapped out, and new what channel to change to when, and where to point the antenna. LOL! I remember the lunch boxes, and the smell of my lunch when I opened it up, and drinking out of the thermos. Later, in my very early teens, roller skating - by then it was the beginning of the 80's. So I have a lot of 80's nostalgia about roller rinks.
I was a kid growing up in the 70’s in Australia and remember most of these. My favourites were roller skating every Saturday with my friends and my father gave me money so I could buy my own skates. I especially remember the collectors cards but for us it was Rugby League. We would trade the cards at school until we had the whole set. Saturday morning cartoons and in the afternoon after school. The rotary phone was also a memorable part of my childhood. They may have been simple things, but they provided hours of entertainment.
I was a little older (11 in 1970), but I remember all of these things. Dad had our dial phones replaced with touch-tone phones in '73. I was not a fan of 8-tracks and never owned one. It's physically impossible to rewind a continuous-loop tape, and I couldn't dig the idea of having a song near the end of one track fade out and then fade back in once the player clicked over to the next track. So I would copy my LPs to cassettes, occasionally buying prerecorded ones, which were already a thing by the early '70s.
Found there is still a box of 8 track cartridges in the basement, but no player for it at all. Many of the others never made it out of the USA, though I did go watch Star Wars on the big screen, in the first week of release, where the new Dolby Sound system made ornaments rattle off the walls in the adjacent blocks of buildings, and thus after a week they had to turn it down a lot.
I grew up in the late 60s through the 70s in what was a rural part of Alabama. There were no street lights and after 5 p.m. there was no traffic. We stopped using a well and got city water in 1980
Yep. It would be nice to have it again with a sprinkle of modern technology like a modern movie projector and watching classic Disney movies from the 90s and before that.
Oh that street scene! My brother and his friends would play baseball in the streets. Can’t remember if the big tree lawn trees or parked cars were bases you had to touch. The only street thing I really remember was Uncle Marty ringing his ice cream truck bell on the weekends. I always got Italian Ice. I went to grade school with his nasty son who ironically became a doctor. Guess he sweetened up. I don’t remember if kickball was played in the street and any football tossed dad would toss it in the driveway or a baseball to my brother. Mom wasn’t too bad either tossing a baseball.
I remember Happy Days, The Jefferson’s, All In The Family and Fantasy Island. I am your host, Mr. Roarke. Welcome to Fantasy Island! Love Boat. I didn’t see the original Star Trek until 1972 when I was 13. Had a model of the Enterprise I put together. Graduated high school in 1978. My boarding closed for the first time since 1910 when the blizzard of ‘77 hit. Now it’s no longer a girl’s school and they changed the name. 1979 I had my first job. Volunteer but first job. Nothing like ending the 70’s having to pass a nasty Capuchin monkey who scratched me as he stole my sponge I used as I was a kennel cleaner and dog and cat feeder at a Vet Hospital. And 1979 marked the beginning of my love affair with cats thanks to that job.
Ricardo Motalban will always be The Man. He's the original King of Cool and Eloquence. It wasn't until I was in my mid to late 20's that I found out "Corinthian Leather" wasn't a real thing.. as far a leather produced in/by Corinthia(ns) 😅😂 But he sure made it sound awesome! 😁👍
@@AdamaSanguine LOL! Ah yes! Rich Corinthian leather! He could make you believe it was real alright. He definitely was the King of Cool and Eloquence and elegance. Thank goodness he’ll live forever on film.
not really. a doll is a girl or effeminate, diminutive little thing to adoringly care for. an action figure is a badass adult male hero or villain type who defeats enemies by applying brute force. they couldn't be more different. there's also a third competitor and that's the stuffed animal. it's typically without gender and needs to be without any hard plastic parts. it's more like a long-term best friend who lives,sleeps and cries with you through thick and thin. you never order him around or tell him what to do. it's more like pure cuddle love. no doll or action figure could ever attain the status of a teddy bear.
I remember playing outside and those dang streetlights would come on ruining the fun! We had an old station wagon and would go visit my grandparents that lived 500 miles away from us. I used to lay in the very back on the suitcases on the way there. We used to sit in the back of the truck too. Such a great time then. Pong was the greatest thing when it came out. Now to many people dictate what you can and can’t do. I hope the pansies of today enjoy their illusion of freedom. That is as long as you have a license or permit to do it. I mean you can do just about anything today, provided you have PERMISSION to do so. WAKE UP AMERICA!
I grew up in the 70's (born 1962)...I remember fondly all of these...I weep for the children today...they will never experience the fun and entertainment that we had...maybe that's why so many are on meds...it's sad...
Yes, in the seventies, you could eat sugar with no more of a worry than tooth decay. Today's kids worry about everything from childhood obesity to juvenile onset diabetes. And kids in the seventies had MUCH better music.
prediabetes! it's actually a word. or check out the covid vaxx shot songs and covid ads for school kids, who proclaim with pathos to behold, that they do not wish to kill their beloved parents and grandparents by letting a mask slip.
... and these feminized kids today are these super square & straight answering right machines. without any prompt they will deliver eloquent little speeches why its wrong to play games rated pg12 when you're only 11, all the while most of them watch p*rn, frequent x chat and dating sites, esp high prized being super pervy pics etc.
1:38 "Long before streaming audio was even thought of." Yeah, I'm gonna be THAT GUY. Streaming audio HAD been thought of. IMPLEMENTED, in fact, and even wireless! Except we called it something else.... Perhaps you've heard of..... 'RADIO'.
Ahhh baseball cards! I had a big collection! Someone gave me years later which I still have of Gus and his son Buddy Bell. Buddy was the 3rd basement for the Cleveland Indians. I lost interest in baseball cards by the time I hit high school.
@@Hillers62 I was never a football card collector but do remember something similar to wacky package sticker cards. The ones I had were logos turned into monsters. Goody Grape which was a powder you poured into water was creepy. And we can’t of course forget Cracker Jacks with the free prize inside. Do they still make Cracker Jacks?
I met a boy and fell in love in the late seventies. I was 18, he was 20. We met in a school that offered certifications in computer programming. He was my first boyfriend. I remember my Mom saying that your first love is like no other. It stays with you for ever. She was right, although I disagreed with her at the time. I also remember a friend of mine buying the first Honda Civic that was being sold at the time. We were seniors in high school. A car makes you feel all grown up. I remember Disco. When I listen to Disco today, it’s like a Time Machine. The world stops around me and I’m completely taken back to the sounds of my youth. In the end, all we have are memories.
Most of these things continued on into the 1980s, because, I remember them; the 3rd Star Wars installment, "Return Of The Jedi", came out around 40 years ago, with a TV movie spinoff about the Ewoks of Endor coming out a couple of years later. Plus, a lot of homes still had rotary phones in use.
I turned 13 in 1970, 18 in 75, and 22 in 1979. High school, college, and my first job. Where do you cover those memories? This video seems to be for the pre-teen years, not older childhood.
I wonder who made that unusual multi 8-track tape player I saw at 1:50? I've never seen anything like it & we used to have a stereo console and a huge 8-track library back in the 70's.
Theres still a skating rink nearby where i live and its actually pretty popular. Birthday parties of my siblings and their friends and cousins are often held there.
man I so remember watching super friends and so many other cartoons on saturday morning..also playing outside all day..I had to come back home every three hours to check in with my mom..other than that it was a free for all...no phones or computers..maybe an atari somewhere but still just being outside all day..I remember I had school clothes and play clothes..what a time it was and I am so happy to have been in it
Cool.... I had a Ford Philco stereo....huge speakers, radio, turntable..in the 80s, I replaced the turntable with a very good Onkyo turntable Nothing like the BIG speakers in that set. Several of my neighbors had no manners...music till 11 or 12 midnight. I'd ask them to turn it down or off..a couple times...then give up......... ..take out my Beethoven's 5th.....or Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries.......max volume......hahaha.......you could not even tell the other was on I'd shut off after 30 seconds....and the silence was deafening Hahaha..I miss that old very solid Ford Philco stereo The radio remained surprisingly good, even though it was 25-30 years old
The Sports Pages during this time had not only current Major League Baseball standings but Statistics of all the players kept up to date. Was it a cost-cutting measure by the newspapers not to hire a sportswriter or statistician to continue this? While on the subject of Baseball and other professional sports, the reasonable cost of attending the game IS GONE and, in my mind, this will result in the loss of countless future young fans who probably will never attend such a costly event. Watching a game on TV can't be compared to actually being there in person.... In the last few years, "they" have managed to practically destroy the Boy Scouts of America. I'm just saying (not to darken your day) but this can't be a good thing. Some of my fondest memories revolve around those years. (And yes, you then could tell a Chevy from a Ford, a Buick from a Dodge). Now all cars seem to look like Toyotas. On a final note - back then we "feared" our teachers in school - Now in some areas the teachers fear the students. I'm going to stop now before I bring up the subject of "rap" music.
I’d rather watch a sports game on tv than watch it live in a stadium because on tv the game had play by play announcements where the game at the stadium didn’t.
The Boy Scouts ruined the Boy Scouts. Not “them”. Boy Scouts of America recently sold off half of their physical properties and campgrounds just to pay off the child molestation lawsuits. They’re personally responsible for their own dishonored and decrepit state. Most parents don’t want to send their kids to “Get Molested Camp” every summer.
If you don't mind the cheap seats a ticket to a ball game is around $20. Now, the food on the other hand...that's where you'll get your wallet eviscerated.
I still remember the smell of my metal lunchbox- bologna and the Hi-C that always seemed to leak out of my thermos. I used to feed my leftovers through the fence to a dog named Corky on my way home from school sometimes. I was lucky to grow up in a safe suburban neighborhood with my school at the center of it. We rode bikes all summer, swam and played Kick-the-Can in the evenings. Our neighborhood was under construction so there were always newly built homes to explore... we used the discarded scrap wood to build forts. I feel lucky to have grown up in the seventies before video games and the internet polluted childhood.
I remember not having to wear a horseshoe crab shell on one's head when bicycling. Yea, a few kids got fucked up every year, but it thinned the ranks of those who would one day compete against you for a seat in a good college, or a management position at work. Also, a lot of early organ transplantation science came by virtue of those brain dead kids (once the parents realized it was time to "pull the plug" on Timmy.)
It's always "funny" to me that people who grew up in the 60s/70s talk about how parents let kids do whatever they wanted and yet never mention that those were literally the two highest decades in history when it came to child abduction
I was never into Baseball cards because I hate watching Bore ball! I love playing Baseball but watching it on TV is a whole different story, it's right up there with Golf and BowlingI I always liked Football cards and there were also monster movie cards that a group of my friends in grade school got into.
What's your favorite memory from the 1970s that you wish could make a comeback?
8-Tracks were invented and developed by Richard Krauss and Bill Lear of Lear Industries in 1964.

We never had backpacks in the 1970's. I remember us just carrying our books, notebooks on the bottom of the pile.
Incredible... The "BAG" had a dark age between 1969 and 1980!
I had the rectangular Army green back pack that had the two buckles. I wish I still had it.
I sure didn't either, best times to grow up in are the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. I grew up in both the 60s and 70s, I was born in 1961.
If the books were small enough, you could sneak one into your lunch box(metal), make sure the thermos was tight!
Saturday morning cartoons! AstroBoy, SpaceGhost, The Jetsons, Archie, AquaMan, and my ultimate favorite, Johnny Quest. Shaggy bugged me so skipped ScoobyDoo. Little did I know that Kasey Kasem did his voice until years later.
The Herculoids
@@jayytee8062 never saw that. I feel deprived.
Backpacks? We didn't have backpacks in the 70's!
Exactly ❗ We carried the books in our hands and arms in front of us❗📚🚶 Maybe someone had a rare cinch to bind them together but,❗ that was it 😂
I had a backpack in the 1970s. Wore that thing out, too.
Backpacks weren't an improvement. It just made it so the resources you needed to lug around increased.

kinda like duffel bags
I had a big canvas bag carrying my school books around.
Born in the 70s but I was so little, I guess I grew up more in the 80s, had lots of older siblings though and I thought those 8 tracks were so much easier to play than cassettes ever were.
I remember having cartoon shows in the late afternoon after school.
At 3PM, there were shows (in Dallas) like Speed Racer...
My cousins and I would come in around 4 o’clock to watch Tom and Jerry. That was in the 80’s, though.

I turned 13 in 1970, 18 in 75, and 22 in 1979. High school, college, and my first job. Where do you cover those memories? This video seems to be for the pre-teen years, not older childhood.
I loved watching Marsha and then Jan sprouting boobies on the Brady Bunch!
Happy Days 7:45 or worse having to not get the joke, they knew you actually watched Good Times: now that is a 70's Remember
I wonder who made that unusual multi 8-track tape player I saw at 1:50? I've never seen anything like it & we used to have a stereo console and a huge 8-track library back in the 70's.
Oh, man!! I’d give anything for another bike with a banana seat and long handlebars.
Mine was hunter green, it was like a chopper for me, lol.
Baseball cards were around long before the 1970s and they're not "gone forever." Just saying.
I have memories from the 1970s that I hope never come back. Such as having to carry lots of cash or checks instead of the more modern debit cards.
My God thanks for making me feel old, I re member the rotatory phone and how pissed off I would get, going, dammmit I have re dial the number again.
Theres still a skating rink nearby where i live and its actually pretty popular. Birthday parties of my siblings and their friends and cousins are often held there.
the baseball card thing - there were no plastic protector sheets in the 70's. And no monetary value was assigned to them. That was an 80's thing.
man I so remember watching super friends and so many other cartoons on saturday morning..also playing outside all day..I had to come back home every three hours to check in with my mom..other than that it was a free for all...no phones or computers..maybe an atari somewhere but still just being outside all day..I remember I had school clothes and play clothes..what a time it was and I am so happy to have been in it
Partridge Family...what girl didn't have a crush on Keith
6:04 - 6:49 In Canada they were called Mustang bikes or (STANG) FROE short
Didn't care for this narration. And oh yeah, what nostalgia, a girl laying in bed with a cigarette.?!
I thought th 70's kinda sucked , the 80s were even worse , got better in the 90's .
It's not a Americans it's whole world will remember this type of entertainment in those days
I was a little boy but remember my teenager brother and his 8 tracks.
as an AV nerd, i was able to play my 8tracks into the 80's, by wiring the player into my component set
Cool....
I had a Ford Philco stereo....huge speakers, radio, turntable..in the 80s, I replaced the turntable with a very good Onkyo turntable
Nothing like the BIG speakers in that set.
Several of my neighbors had no manners...music till 11 or 12 midnight.
I'd ask them to turn it down or off..a couple times...then give up......... ..take out my Beethoven's 5th.....or Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries.......max volume......hahaha.......you could not even tell the other was on
I'd shut off after 30 seconds....and the silence was deafening
Hahaha..I miss that old very solid Ford Philco stereo
The radio remained surprisingly good, even though it was 25-30 years old
Thank you for posting 👍👍
The Sports Pages during this time had not only current Major League Baseball standings but Statistics of all the players kept up to date. Was it a cost-cutting measure by the newspapers not to hire a sportswriter or statistician to continue this? While on the subject of Baseball and other professional sports, the reasonable cost of attending the game IS GONE and, in my mind, this will result in the loss of countless future young fans who probably will never attend such a costly event. Watching a game on TV can't be compared to actually being there in person.... In the last few years, "they" have managed to practically destroy the Boy Scouts of America. I'm just saying (not to darken your day) but this can't be a good thing. Some of my fondest memories revolve around those years. (And yes, you then could tell a Chevy from a Ford, a Buick from a Dodge). Now all cars seem to look like Toyotas. On a final note - back then we "feared" our teachers in school - Now in some areas the teachers fear the students. I'm going to stop now before I bring up the subject of "rap" music.
Sports have become “woke “ and political ideology and are not escapism like they used to be.
I’d rather watch a sports game on tv than watch it live in a stadium because on tv the game had play by play announcements where the game at the stadium didn’t.
The Boy Scouts ruined the Boy Scouts. Not “them”. Boy Scouts of America recently sold off half of their physical properties and campgrounds just to pay off the child molestation lawsuits. They’re personally responsible for their own dishonored and decrepit state. Most parents don’t want to send their kids to “Get Molested Camp” every summer.
If you don't mind the cheap seats a ticket to a ball game is around $20. Now, the food on the other hand...that's where you'll get your wallet eviscerated.
@glennso47 you sound like the kind of person who would be saying Jackie Robinson shouldn't be on the same field as respectable white players.
Could you do one UK based
Did I see an ON TV box? lol
Indoor smoking. Almost everywhere.
had my tonsils taken out in 1979, age 19, had a smoking room...in the hospital..hard to belive
*Promosm*
Baseball cards are gone forever?
also they were super popular up until the late 90s
I still remember the smell of my metal lunchbox- bologna and the Hi-C that always seemed to leak out of my thermos. I used to feed my leftovers through the fence to a dog named Corky on my way home from school sometimes. I was lucky to grow up in a safe suburban neighborhood with my school at the center of it. We rode bikes all summer, swam and played Kick-the-Can in the evenings. Our neighborhood was under construction so there were always newly built homes to explore... we used the discarded scrap wood to build forts. I feel lucky to have grown up in the seventies before video games and the internet polluted childhood.
You make it sound white and safer back then.

I remember not having to wear a horseshoe crab shell on one's head when bicycling. Yea, a few kids got fucked up every year, but it thinned the ranks of those who would one day compete against you for a seat in a good college, or a management position at work. Also, a lot of early organ transplantation science came by virtue of those brain dead kids (once the parents realized it was time to "pull the plug" on Timmy.)
😆😆😆You are sick!😆😆😆
It's always "funny" to me that people who grew up in the 60s/70s talk about how parents let kids do whatever they wanted and yet never mention that those were literally the two highest decades in history when it came to child abduction
I was never into Baseball cards because I hate watching Bore ball! I love playing Baseball but watching it on TV is a whole different story, it's right up there with Golf and BowlingI I always liked Football cards and there were also monster movie cards that a group of my friends in grade school got into.
