I graduated high school in 1975. I think it may seem like simpler times because there was no 24/7 news and we did not sit in front of the TV or the computer all the time. We were out playing with friends, engaging in school activities, or enjoying time with the family. I was an Army Brat and my dad was in Vietnam in 1970. So simpler no, but as children we didn’t have the horrible side of life shoved in our faces constantly (unless of course you lived in the areas where you couldn’t avoid it). I can’t imagine being a child today and seeing all that is going on constantly on the TV. The commercials reflect a desire to be positive and upbeat, which is also lacking today. I always loved the Coke commercial and it’s still brings a smile on my face today.

I was 12 years old in 1975 and tv concluded programming at midnight (or thereabouts) , not to mention there was no cable. The city I lived in had 4 tv stations. I’ve thought about the children today and how different things are for them and I feel sorry for them for many reasons, the way tv is today being one of them. It’s nice to have grown up in the 70s because things seemed more simple back then.

There were Go-Kart tracks about ¼-mile before the Drive-in. My Dad would put me on his lap and "let me drive". We had problems like most families. Some issues were extremely hard, however the time, or the "era" whatever you call it, was by far the best time to be a kid! So many childhood memories, childhood experiences, adventures and dreams. The 70's was a more simple time, but far more fun. Back then kids had respect. Parents actually were parents. I miss those days. People cared about others, they weren't so self absorbed. 1970's were perfection! I was so privileged and LUCKY to have been able to have grown up during that time. God Bless and let's HOPE and PRAY that the 70's can return? Better 📺TV📺shows, 🎬Movies,🎞 games, and people. Take care and be safe everyone!

I used to play with my next door neighbors in our open backyards! We used to play with our Matchbox cars and Legos back in 73, 74, 75, 76! We'd ride our bikes on Saturdays on a new neighborhood being built behind ours! Then we'd hang out at the park across the street and watch our View Masters! I remember everything as if it was yesterday and wouldnt change it for playing video games indoors, rather than running, sweating, breathing the fresh air, getting a healthy tan, or just sitting on the grass with my friends on sunny afternoons! I wish parents nowadays would take all the gadgets away and make their kids go out, meet their neighbors, and play with them so they can treasure those memories like millions of us adults like do! Thanks for this great video!

Or even us children of the early 80s, it’s comfort food as well! I wish we could go back in simpler times when playing outside was the norm instead of glued to social media all day etc

80s would become the crap decade. Yeah it had some good music and films but that's it. The 80s where almost everything is made some place else.

I turned 10 in 1980, don’t remember a whole lot about the 70s except Jerry Ford, and Jimmy Carter being the first presidents I remember

Oh yeah.... graduated high school in 75. Problem is, I wasn't staring at television 24/7. I don't remember a lot of this. Chasing pretty gals. Caught one on May 75, and a good one at that. We'll celebrate our 40th in August. Great Days Indeed!

Most people except housewives weren't watching that much TV. I would say much less than people today are on their phones.

"Problem is, I wasn't staring at television 24/7. I don't remember a lot of this. Chasing pretty gals. Caught one on May 75, and a good one at that." I used to chase pretty gals myself even before I was a teenager. But none of them wanted me and I almost got in trouble for it. Then when I was 26, I decided I wouldn't waste my time. I was going to wait for them to come to me, and if that didn't work within two years, I'm just going to have to accept my status as an eternal bachelor. As you can probably guess, it never did.

"I'd like to find a world of Coke and keep it company" or something like that. Sounds so much more sinister now that I say it lol.

Actually, now that I listened to it again, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke...." My first interpretation was better lol

My parents bought a zenith tv in 1973. The same year I was born. They still have it and they still use it.
