Holy crap I turned twelve in 76, now I'm 60. Those days are long gone but I'm so glad to have grown up during the 70s & 80s. I loved Rocky Baa Baa Black Sheep and snuck in to see the movie Carrie. Scared the hell out of me. Great to be a kid back then.
Same age here. My Pop took me to see "Carrie". (We hit every horror move that came along.) If you can help it, do NOT see a movie with a surprise ending. You will get nailed by the jiu-jitsu master you're there with. Great days. RIP Pop.
Oh, wow I'm 2 years older than you. That's the year that I would turn 14. And I was going to the smallest school in the California school system Allegheny junior senior high school, in Allegheny California
September 76, the start of junior year! I remember watching the Jerry Lewis telethon and seeing the Martin/Lewis reunion live. That was big news back then. Watched every episode of Captains and the Kings, it was one of the few miniseries of the 70's that DIDN'T star Richard Chamberlain. Thanks for the memories Fred!👍👍👍👍
I, too, started my junior year - the very best year of high school for me! Made the honor roll a couple of times (never did before or since) and had more friends than ever before!
Always used to get so bummed when the Telethon came around as I knew Summer was over and school (5th grade in '76) was right around the corner. Still used to stay up as late as I could to watch it though lol. So many pleasant memories. Thanks FF ...
I've said this before - but coming to this channel is my Saturday night tradition. I was three years old in 1976, so I don't remember much of these. But I imagine my parents sitting around the TV watching these news reports and TV shows.
There are a lot of people making these, but your's are all very special. The choices really capture the time and have things a little less often visited.
The People photo of Paul Lynde the greatest comedian of the 20th century along with Phyllis Diller!!!!! Both were unquestionably unequaled and supreme!!!!! Just 6 years or so later he passed. I am fan #1 and went to his funeral in West L.A. California. The Lennon Sisters sat behind me and sang later, Joan Rivers, George Gobel, Miss Miller were there. Host Peter Marshall of Hollywood Squares came in an old ugly green Rolls Royce(still alive 98 years old). Peter Marshall: Paul your wife has just gone overboard from a boat into the ocean. What do you say? Paul: FULL SPEED AHEAD! RIP.
I started senior year in high school in 1976 and now I just turned 65. My three best friends back then all died relatively young. And I thought life was supposed to get better with age.
I agree. That whole “life gets better with age” thing was a scam. Once I accepted that reality I started doing better though. Those of us that were blessed enough to live our childhood and teenage years in the best country in the world during the best decades in the country, should count our blessings. We have so many memories that we can look back on with fondness and a smile.
I had just graduated high school the previous June so this was the first September since First Grade I didn’t have to start school. It was a strange feeling and very lonely since all my friends were off to college. I was busy looking for a job. NBC had a big anniversary program around this time, maybe their 50th Anniversary (including radio)? That was a fun show. I also remember a dramatic TV movie from around this time that starred Fred Astaire as an elderly parent who moved in with his adult children. Nice compilation, Freddy! Keep ‘em coming!
Great job, Fred! 0:05 - Some friends & I ran a carnival close to Labor Day using materials provided by MDA. I don't think it made much $, but it made a bit for MD. I remember trying to stay up all night for the telethon the year before but falling asleep sometime around 4 AM. 2:30 - I wonder how the "canditates" did in their debate. I don't remember watching it, but I heard that President Ford blundered in saying there was no Soviet domination in E. Europe. I voted for him in my elementary school's mock election anyway. These were the first Presidential debates since 1960. 6:05 - Does anyone buy travelers' checks anymore? 7:09 - I love Johnny Carson's takeoff on this ad. 16:30 - Patty Duke Astin won an Emmy for her performance here.
Kiss rocked !!! i never forget after hunting forever finding their comic book in an obscure little coffee shop i fashioned my signature as a kid after Pauls from the Kiss army members only photo set and its still in play when i sign crap 50 years later !
I remember seeing that reunion between Jerry and Dean and admit I got a little emotional. It was the way to react, right? If You Leave Me Now became part of the soundtrack of my life next year. 🎶🎵🎶 Thanks, Fred-ssi. 💜🤟
Anyone remember what the mortgage interest rates were when Carter left office? He sure made it hard for a young man to enter the work force and earn a decent wage.
Inflation & interest rates had been steadily rising since the start of the 1970s, and they'd get worse under Reagan, before starting to go down. Remember, the President and Congress have no control over the economy. The USA is a capitalist country, where the market rules.
@@starmnsixty1209 Not true. Carter was an environmentalist. Also he is a man of honor and dignity. Ever heard of anything sexually scandalous with Carter? There aren't any, just sayin. Carter was faced with the mess Nixon and Ford left behind. Between Nixon and Wilson, our money became volatile and worthless. You will see the end effects very soon. That's the mess Trump will be faced with if he makes it that far.
at 9:35. RIGHT ON Magazine. it said, can the Jacksons make it without Jermaine. THEY DID. turned out, Jermaine couldn't make it without them/LOL. this is a year after the family left Motown. Jermaine decided to stay at the company.
1976 was a great year, that's for certain. Remember virtually all of this. The magazine covers are great. Great many of them are gone now. A version of TV guide is still going just barely, though I don't know exactly why anyone bothers with it. Land of the Lost was terrific BTW, RIP to Ron Harper, and Spencer Milligan. Thanks for a trip to a more simple time, Fred.
I remember the telethons. As a little girl my grandma would let me call in and pledge 1 or 2 dollars. They ran your name on the ticker on the bottom. It was so exciting and i really wanted to help .😊
I was there! I turned 15 in September 76 and was living near Vancouver Washington. F*cking hated my pimples! Puberty sucked! But it was a better time in America.
At 10:43 it's an NBC News Update from New York w/ Chuck Scarborough. It's the 2nd oldest network news update I've seen on this platform. The oldest was an NBC News Update from Los Angeles w/ John Schubeck - Sept. 1975.
Wow, Fred. This channel is growing! Your editing is great, too. Man I love this channel. I wasn't born yet, but watching these with my family (both parents love this channel) makes for great Saturday nights before Svengoolie.
I enjoy hearing from young people like yourself, Fletch, who appreciate the culture from times past. And it's a compliment to be mentioned in the same sentence as Svengoolie, which I watch every week with my friends.
Hey Fred...can you do a few from 1973 ??Even 1972......these are so fun to watch. Like a time machine but with period music blended in. Genious. One of my favorite channels.
Good news, tnpatriot, I have finished the ENTIRE YEARS of '69, '70, '71, '72 and '73! The question is when and how to post them. Right now, I'm on 1968 and 1976. Do I interrupt those flows? Or do I continue with 1968 and carry it through until 1974, even though it will take over 60 weeks to do so? Of course, I could post them daily, but then I'll run out of videos too quickly. Ah, problems, problems...
who had bigger post "divorce " career ? Deano or Jerry ? those marathons were a must see for a 11 year old but i never knew exactly why ? it was labor day and summer was in the bottom of the 9th
Hated Labor Day as a youth because summer was over and back to school. Was never one of those kids who ran out of things to do and got bored in the summer.
Love me some Jimmy Carter! Thank you Fred for the terrific look back. I swear I was just thinking about Ben Murphy the other day, maybe subconsciously I knew he'd be showing up here 😊😊😊
You liked gas rationing? I was a kid and it bugged me. I was so mad at him over the hostage situation. But at least he got them home safe finally. I liked him as a person. I remember going with my grandma to the Texaco on the corner down the street to get gas on our allowed day. Junior high was happier than elementary. I went to 8th that fall.
Came in to look while feeling low. Finished watching in a much better mood. Everyone knew Ford had no chance. I mean he lost to Jimmy Carter. JIMMY CARTER!!! LOL Thanks for the pick me up Fred.
I hated when the politics took over all 3 channels. I would go listen to the radio and read mad magazine or my grandma's True Stories and True Romance etc. Her True detectives covers scared me half to death so I wouldn't read those. In my 20s I got hooked on serial killer True crime books. Go figure. I got so tired of the bicentennial everywhere you looked after months of it . However ,I had watched the news as young as 7 or 8. I hated wired news at 5:30 but local news on ch 13 in Houston I never missed until I started dating. The news crew regulars felt like family. I remember Marvin Zindler. Ed Brandon and Dave Ward. I also remember our older weatherman Sid Lasher and when he died I cried and I saw at least Dave ward with tears. I am sure tgey have all passed by now. I no longer live there. I moved away in 2001. I miss being a kid in the late 60s and the 70s and an adult in the 80s. I hated when tgey took bell bottoms out of fashion and gauchos abd thicker high heels. I refused punk except Blondie and wouldn't wear straight legs until I just could not find another pair if bell bottoms. Should have looked at goodwill lol. Now bell bottoms are in for men and women!! Yay!!! I'm almost 61 hubby is 64. He has 3 pair and I have flairs but need to get some bells. I dont care if Gen z abd x think we look weird. I'm wearing them!!😊❤ Crochet is back too. Granny square vests and blankets and floppy hats etc. And I can crochet! Only problem is my husky sheds like crazy so it will have to be light colored yarn. Lol. Too bad this didn't come back in my late 20s and through my 30s. Crochet baby blankets never left. Oh those days were so much better.
I wish there were some videos showing all the open space back in the day that is now lost to urban sprawl and over development. Of all the things we knew back then was there really such a thing as out in the country and open space.
@@RepentfollowJesus no such a much. Especially back east. The closet thing is exurban. Maybe a field of crops, then a strip mall,then a housing subdivision then another small field then maybe a clump of 50 year old houses or older then another little field then big houses in a subdivision with bigger lots. Open space, real open space does not exist except for national parks or maybe a large ranch.
@@FredFlix it froze. I tried to rewind and fast forward it remained frozen. I backed out and tried to get back in and got message video was taken down. I guess that's hen you were working on updates.
I would be 14 and going to Allegheny junior senior highschool in Allegheny, California. Oh, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Growing up in the 70's was great fun. And the small town of Allegheny California was the smallest school in the California school system. But I loved it, and it was small only 100 students in the whole high school. The juniors went to school with the senior high schoolers. So it went from 7th though 12th grade went to the same place.
Thank you so much for the work on your videos. I love them. I must ask as a music geek. Why did you use a re-record of Orleans and Chicago? these are definitely not the original versions from 76 again just asking not trying to be critical. Love your videos. Thank you for your hard work.
Allen, YT did not allow me to use the original studio versions of those songs for copyright reasons. I usually put a note in the text under the video when I have to dub in a live version.
@@FredFlixI had a feeling it was something to do with copyright. I knew immediately it was live or altered somehow. Thanks for your videos. You are a kind person. ❤
With all the crazy in the world today. I get a smile, my blood pressure goes down when some FredFlix pops up. I was the only kid in my group that liked/bought Chicago albums. The swine flu, how many of these catastrophic events have we survived? @3:30 the fella cutting logs with his axle. Wow, I don’t remember that. Was that a real thing? Always good stuff Fred, thanks. Edit: there are some new pics going about today of “baby Sasquatch” it’s Cha-Ka from land of the lost. They look identical 😂
I had that Car and Driver magazine with the review of the Monza Spyder. In the face of strangling new EPA regulations the car builders were trying hard to keep the muscle car fires burning, yet many of those cars would turn out to be the laughing stock of the car culture.
The woman who shot JR at 10:04 - damn she was HOT! Same goes for the world's introduction to the luscious Laura Gemser. Beware of Bill Laimbeer and the Sleestaks

But absolutely not Trump or the lunatic Christian right who want us to return to the Dark Middle Ages.
