I was born in 1967, October 1967 to be exact. Those days were truly magical compared to now. We didn't need smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi, laptop computers, or Xbox. We had our IMAGINATIONS! We actually played outside, created our fun. Built forts, grabbed our fishing 🎣 gear and headed out to the local parks. Or even rode our bikes there, since we could go outside without fear of dying. Such a better time.

@@EdsterIII And what wasn't garbage about 1975? Vietnam ended in the worst possible way, there were countless wars and conflicts (Bangladesh, Portugal, Angola, Argentina).The US was and is the biggest war mongering threat, but thanks to the Soviets, the second biggest threat, there was also the constant danger of World War 3 and Nuclear Annihilation. All countries under Soviet rule suffered tremendously. And where i live, Germany, was basically at war with the extremely left-wing Red Army Faction kidnapping and murdering people and waging terror everywhere (and it would get worse with the so called "German Autumn" in 1977). Oil Crisis. IRA Attacks in the UK. Massive recession worldwide, including a big crisis in the UK. And then those poor people had to suffer Margaret Thatcher, quickly becoming one of the most hated people in the country. Unemployment rate in the US was nearly 10%. Litereally the one good story was the death of Franco and Spain finally escaping the Dictatorship to become a Democracy again. Nah, politically it was a terrible time.

I was in the fifth grade as 1975 rolled into 1976. I don't remember much about the news but remember my Mom sitting on the couch in tears as she watched the flag draped coffins coming home from Vietnam. I can also remember how bad inflation was because my Dad didn't make much money. We did without a lot but so did a lot of people in our small blue collar town. My mother wanted to take a part time job but my Dad wouldn't hear of it. If you think about it, it didn't take much money to raise kids then. We didn't have a lot of gadgets. We had thousands of acres of open desert to have fun, and that's exactly what we did. After watching this, I wouldn't say the world is a better or worse place.

The thing that was really different, and better, about that time is that a TV network is devoting prime time to really looking at the news, not "true crime" junk about somebody who absconded with their company's money and ran off with the office manager, or whatever. News, not candy. That was before network news operations became run by GE, Westinghouse and Disney.

VERY true. The rise of "infotainment" and the billions of dollars the networks generated in their news divisions led to where we are now. The film 'Network' was prescient wasn't it?

Love the intro montage at :36 seconds. That was very typical during the mid 60s into the 70s, wether is was sports, documentaries, film, even student films of such that was done by George Lucas in the mid 60s.

These were the days , when the news wasn’t as political as now days . You got the truth from the beginning to the end . Also , I realize this was 1975 almost 50 years ago . 1970’s was a decade that could never be repeated ever . Times when life was good for a lot of people . ✌️N❤️2ALL

[@johnshields6852]

I was 15 back then and Ford was teased endlessly about the " clumsy " President, but it was light hearted, he came into office in an impeachment of Nixon, so Ford held us together in trying times. God bless America.🇺🇸

Near the end, The Wild World Of Animals. I'd forgotten that for decades. We got that in Australia. I probably watched that slouching around in the lounge room in '75 and '76 and reruns into the 1980s. That and the rest of the fare ? Am I getting myopic about it and ' where's a time machine when you need it " ? No. It is not all that crash hot brilliant.

[@michaellong3836]

Surprised there was no mention of the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.

I thought the 1970's was such a magical innocent decade. Oh wait, that was just pop culture. Everything else going on was chaotic. Nothing really changes. Things are still chaotic today. It's just reported 24/7 today.
