[@Nieve_1231]

Not even thinking about entering this world. 😂 My twin brother and sister were born in this year. ❤ I love how well put together these videos are. You're awesome Johnny! 🙌❤

[@jchow5966]

Omg those TV show theme songs bring everything back!!!!!!!

Rest In Peace to those lost in 1971 Jim Morrison Pete Duel Ub Iwerks Louis Armstrong Duane Allman Pier Angeli Bobby Jones Van Heflin Harold Lloyd

[@jchow5966]

That Coke commercial is still considered the best commercial ever made. I remember all this stuff so clearly!!!! ☮️💟😊💟

[@tolfan4438]

I remember singing the coke song in school. The line buy the world a coke was changed find the world some hope. Music teach was a hippy

[@Johnnyboy792]

Come back 72' !!! :)

[@torccchaser6712]

graduated high school 1971......great memories

[@Johnnyboy792]

Many thanks :)

[@torccchaser6712]

pleasure was mine @@Johnnyboy792

[@mikewarner7424]

During my worst days, I find myself coming to your channel and remembering what it was like in the days without worry. My happier younger days. Thank you so much. Please keep making these and add as much as you can to the years of the 1970's. I could watch for hours!

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thank you so much Mike. More coming down the road. All the best :)

[@jvp3873]

Born in 1959. Watched 1967 through 1977 back to back to back, and it truly was like my life flsahed before my eyes... only better... I'm not dead... heh heh heh.. tnx j

[@toniwilson1579]

I was born 1st day of 1958 so I was 13, was stuck to t.v. like glue. Unlike today I don't even have a t.v. My choice of entertainment is picking what I want to watch on KZbin. Like these shows of old. No I am not living in the pass but remember how much kinder and gently this world use to be as far as entertainment go. Miss those day

[@CEOkiller]

I was born in 1971 so I don't remember any of this, but it's interesting to see the world I was born into...

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thanks for watching CEO !!!

[@magilec]

Now we are here in 2021 50 years ago.

[@disturbedpatient425]

I was 10 years old building a fort in the woods behind my house, grew up in very rural Louisiana, nothing beats growing up in the country, no video games, no internet, had over 60 acres and nothing but my imagination

[@Johnnyboy792]

I agree Otis !!!

[@disturbedpatient425]

Johnnyboy792 👍🏻

[@1caninelover]

I was also 10. Lived in L.A. but moved to mountains that year. I could never return to city life!

[@tolfan4438]

It's funny I grew up in a big City Philadelphia neighborhood called Kensington where Rocky was filmed. I wish feel bad for the kids having to grow up in the country. You couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I walk to school I walk the playgrounds to the corner store to the candy store to the arcades up the Avenue. Out in the country you're trapped tell a grown-up with the car wants to let you do something

[@chadwickwhite6107]

Disturbed Patient I can SEE how you became DISTURBED.

[@303430]

My God! I'm gonna watch each and every one of these! They make me feel like a kid again :-)

[@Johnnyboy792]

I'm happy it brought a smile ! Thanks so much !

[@jomcnaughton2300]

Loved "Play Misty for Me" & Clint Eastwood; have watched that movie a zillion times over the years! :) NBC Mystery movies were great!

[@jamesmack3314]

I prefer Dirty Harry or the Bequiled

[@dukes0916]

Yet another masterpeice! You don't simply show high-lights (I've noticed) But actually give a feel for the period. This time represented some of my earliest memories... and you brought them back with crystal clarity again! (Thank you again!) & YES, that Carlin line about how 'IF you won't kill 'em... we won't let you beat 'em up!' is one of the greatest observations on American CIvilization! EVER!

[@thaJagman1971]

Wow I never knew Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart had tv shows that's awesome I'm gonna look them up here on KZbin thanks for posting.

[@richardgrimes4440]

Wow! What a great year! Graduated High School in 1971. Fell in love with my High School sweetheart. We got married in 1975 and were together for 30 years before I lost her. I turned 18 and enlisted in the Army, and then made it a career. Lots of wonderful memories started in 1971.

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thanks for the share Richard. All the best to you !

[@gjc3535]

Nostalgia is a great turn-to when we are having one of those days. Great Job as always Johnnyboy!

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thank you gjc3535 ! It was a labor of love :)

[@EmbreeWalkerII]

In June of 1971, I would graduate from high school. That fall, I would start college. I remember the movies and the shows. Good times until Brian ' s Song, cried for 45 of the 90 mins.

[@ifyoueverfind78]

the world seemed so magical back then when i was a kid. this was my introduction into the world, i watched all those tv shows. and mostly i was fascinated. i was about six years old or so...but so many images of those times, and tv, make the images of my reality, in my mind...and the images are all there.

[@Johnnyboy792]

Many thanks for taking the time to step into the time machine :):):) - JB

[@theeasybeats5913]

71 was a wonderful year, every fall I go back there remembering walking my dogs every night when I came home from work, they would be waiting in the window for me, something in the air that year

[@b3j8]

I remember one particular ABC movie of the week that was a classic! It was called "DUEL", directed by a young Steven Spielberg.

[@Johnnyboy792]

There were a lot of classic movies of the week. And not just ABC. Bad Ronald, Trilogy of Terror, The Norliss Tapes, Horror At 37,000 Feet. Too many to list here. Thanks for watching :)

[@stevestringham1095]

trilogy of terror. still scary!

[@Ace1King1]

Duel was originally published in Playboy Magazine and then made into a movie.

[@yvettemendia6176]

I have it on vhs.love it

[@glennso47]

yvette mendia I remember the night it was shown on ABC TV the local station, WREX Rockford, had an unscheduled off the air moment at the end of the movie. They got lots of calls from irate viewers, so the station preempted the 10 pm news to show the end of the movie.

[@tammyphxaz]

i just discovered these,,,,i love them,thanks for posting,,total trip back in time to my childhood,,,such a refreshing change from all that is going on in todays world and all the crap on youtube,,,,,

[@Johnnyboy792]

+Tamara Villa Waalkens Hi Tamara. So sorry it took so long to get back to you. Im happy it brought you a smile. Happy Easter to you :) - JB

[@deborahchesser7375]

Ali still amazes me with his wit and presence, I was too you to fully appreciate it at 7 but I do now, among many other things and people.

[@Samstraysongs]

Well done Johnnyboy...excellent video! my summer of 42 was summer of 53...one never forgets the good times...many thanks for the SMILES :))

[@ldchappell1]

That Ali-Frazier fight was HUGE. Everybody was talking about that fight in 1971. Even my old biddy English teacher brought it up in class. 1971 for a great year for me. I was 13 and had two paper routes. I was making about $200 a month which was a lot of money for a kid in those days. My dad used to borrow money from me. lol

[@MsRee713]

Duel! Stephen Spielberg's first movie and written by Richard Matheson(?), I loved this movie when I was a little girl. Now my sons and I watch it at least once a year.

[@Johnnyboy792]

The ABC movie of the week ha some real gems in the 70's for sure... Trilogy of Terror, Bad Ronald, Killdozer, Crowhaven Farm and my personal fav, Outrage (1973 )

[@cedricliggins7528]

Marcus Welby one of the best shows ever and Mayberry RFD

[@Johnnyboy792]

Very well written for sure !!!

[@MultiRabe]

Being a NYC’er, I remember the Frazier/Ali fight at Madison Square Garden in ‘71! Cannon, Marcus Welby MD, Medical Center, All in the Family...remember them all! If I live to be 500, I’ll never forget that CocaCola jingle you closed with! Your channel never ceases to bring on a big smile! Please keep up the great work 👍👌😎✌🏻

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thanks Roberto.... I was 8 when "The Fight" took place. I didn't know much about boxing, but I remember hysteria that surrounded it... it was amazing :)

[@senorkaboom]

Once again, you did your usual great job. You brought back so many memories of my sophomore and junior years in high school, happy and sad. "Duel" was a great TV movie, but it played over the weekend my grandfather passed away. Hard to separate the 2, but that's life.

[@dartndebra1964]

Thanks for the Memories !

[@wallykaspars9700]

TV and movies were squeaky-clean and wholesome.

[@Johnnyboy792]

I thought so :)

[@danmseattle975]

I seem to remember X rated movies were around then- I wouldn't call that wholesome. Plus, A Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs, and The French Connection came out in 1971. Many things come to mind about the early 1970s but wholesome and clean isn't one of them. I was 9 years old in '71, by the way.

[@willbergie55]

In 1971 I was 17 years old and in high school 🏫. It was a long time ago and very far away.

[@Johnnyboy792]

+Bill Bergendahl I hope this brought you a little closer Bill :) - JB

[@57WillysCJ]

American Pie by Don McLean 1971, who could forget.

[@jamesmack3314]

Epic jam

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Thank you for doing these videos !

[@rachelislen]

I like how you include the tv movies from the year. good to see them again, thanks

[@scottrichards2319]

Johnnyboy, I am watching all your postings, and you have done a fabulous job! I'm almost sixty, and was right in the middle of all this. I saw some postings complaining "where is this or that? Don't pay attention as there are always negative people who don't accomplish anything yet complain about others. You took your time and effort to complete these videos and did an awesome job! You should be proud. Thanks again for all these memories, and keep it up!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

A lot of the stuff you showed was screened in Britain so I could relate to this. Excellent work, Johnny.

[@Mandi7882]

Ah! Williard...! I wanted to see that movie SO bad when I was a child! Instead my parents took me to Willie Wonka, more age appropriate...RIP Gene Wilder.

[@davidgarrison6936]

TEENAGE yrs for this kid. I SO LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. i could "TRIVIA" all day here. awesome. thx

[@Johnnyboy792]

All the best my friend :)

[@KristelSitz]

I was 5 years old. Did every kind of funny things.

[@petemoss8522]

It was amusing to hear a disco song as the introductory music. lol

[@sidkid9873]

Memories holy-crap does this video take me back !!!

[@jchow5966]

Same here!

[@48mastadon]

Maybe it started on a different year, but there was a show at night that had McCloud, Mcmillan and wife, and Columbo. The beginning of that show haunts me to this day. Love your videos. Thanks for posting.

[@julienielsen3746]

+48mastadon The NBC Mystery Movie.

[@lucky5853]

At 20 years old I bought my very first car, a '63 Chrysler Newport ,2 door in green metallic for $100.00, push button tranny.

[@CatherineBurk]

I had a 62 dodge dart in metallic green with push button tranny

[@suza3883]

***** HAHA...Mine was the '62 Plymouth Belvedere...with a push-button tranny!

[@stevestringham1095]

my granny had a '62 belvedere with...you guessed it, a push button tranny!

[@camman6912]

I had a 67 coronet RT with a 440

[@kathyjones8207]

$100 was considered a lot of money back then, wasn't it, lol?

[@aclawhorn]

You do such a great job on these Johnny! I hope you will do a segment for every year of the '70s...thanks!

[@aggager078]

this is outstanding-thank-you

[@rickvelocity5578]

Dido to that, this is great! Wish I new than what I know now.

[@t.j.payeur739]

Started Senior year and was preparing to take my Senior Class trip to sunny Southeast Asia, courtesy of Mother Green, the Killin' Machine, 'til death do us part...did a Lot of acid that year and loved every minute of it. Not getting killed in Vietnam ruined my life's plan...

[@pfaffman100]

Brilliant,so many thank you's for what you 're doing. was a great choice in subscribing.Truly enjoying your channel.

[@Johnnyboy792]

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

[@starey1]

I was 14 and in 7th grade. Thanx for posting this! It, and all your other videos, are awesome and really bring back a lot of memories! For this one though, I wish you would have put in something about the Apollo 13 crisis that year (when their spacecraft was crippled en route to the moon, they had to do some "Rube Goldbergs" on it and very nearly didn't make it back to earth)

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thanks Trekkie :)

[@gdubrow13]

Hello! and Thank you once again! Every time that I watch one of your videos, it leaves me with a smile on my face, and joy in my heart!

[@senorkaboom]

In case you wanted to know, the song is called "Nikki". It was written by Burt Bacharach for his daughter.

[@johnc.griffinjr.4508]

senorkaboom Thank's for the info! Mr.Bacharach's melodies are legendary,this song sounds like "Love".Imho

[@huskerhammer6325]

I was in 3rd and 4th grade. Friday nights was Brady Bunch and Partridge Family. I remember my parents would send me to bed at 9:00 because Love American Style was on. 1971 TV...best detective show was "Mannix"

[@Johnnyboy792]

[@windymoore4009]

Remember all of this very well. I and my husband at the time lived in Emeryville, Calif. He was an AC Transit bus driver and I worked in downtown Oakland for H.C. Capwells in the Accounts Payable Dept. My folks were still alive at the time living up in Virginia City, Nevada. Loved the All in The Family, Cannon etc. Life was good back then. Thanks for the memories!

[@Mandi7882]

U Are the KING!!! I loved the Willard trailer! I miss all those old trailers of movies I was too young to see all the way back then...but my parents DID take me to see Willie Wonka when all I wanted to see was the French Connection!!! Thanks so much!

[@er1c175]

Thank you Johnnyboy for the flashbacks when i was in the first grade!

[@4evershalom]

Very cool Did not know that. Thanks!

[@donnadreyer2580]

1971 ??? I was just a Year old !! I didn't know about anything back then !! Lol no i was only a Year old I didn't start watching All in the Family , The Brady Bunch until i was much older, WOW, that was a time of Peace and Innocence. Oh my goodness, I can't believe i missed some of these great Family shows !! Jimmy Stewart is / was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, my hometown.Rest In Peace Jimmy ! I have watched "Duel", and after i saw it i have been petrified of Trucks, parked or not, i walked behind a parked tractor ( Truck ) for the first time, i thought it was going to start up and back over me, lol, i was 37 YO !! Now I'm 48, and still deathly afraid of trucks.

[@Retrofan13]

Your material is amazing ! You have jogged so many memories in my mind I was spending my summers in Rhode Island going to Rocky point Amusement Park and Lincoln Park both long gone. Summer of 42 I forgot about that movie till I saw that trailer Oskee I remember that character. Escape from the planet of the apes good movie. Partridge Family who could forget that at age 7 Brady Bunch. It's Funny Davy Jones Recorded that song Girl for a movie called Star Spangled Girl starring Sandy Duncan. Thanks

[@tonyc7278]

.....I love this place Johnny let's me visit!....such great memories. Thumbs Up x 10!

[@Johnnyboy792]

Thanks Tony Boy !!!!!! Best compliment i've had today :)

[@TheAzmountaineer]

I also graduated in 71, and it was a great year for me. I had no money and no idea for the future, but it eventually worked out pretty well for me. With no money, I don't associate these movies with 1971; I didn't see them until years later. To me, it was TV and music, not including the free and easy days hanging with friends and chasing girls.

[@TheAzmountaineer]

***** Thanks, Jonny, it sure did!

[@QueenSnowPea]

My mother watched a lot of those shows. I remember sitting up watching Sonny and Cher. I was 13 going on 14.

[@Johnnyboy792]

70's TV was king Linda !!!

[@QueenSnowPea]

Yes it was. Same for music!

[@wlhardy]

In jr. high school, wore a maxi dress for the first time, the school district got rid of the dress code that fall & girls could wear pants to school, Disneyworld opened, Pirates win the World Series, riding around the neighborhood on my Spyder bike, watching the Flip Wilson show & the Partridge Family, Tricia Nixon getting married, bringing my round Panasonic radio to school (with teacher's permission), placing it in the window of my 7th grade class and listening to music--unbelievable! We rarely had that opportunity during school, listening to "If," "I Am, I Said" "If You Could Read My Mind," "Just My Imagination," "Love's Lines, Angles & Rhymes."

[@robertdyer5294]

I just subscribed ! Great job !;I love stuff like this.

[@Johnnyboy792]

The best of times for sure for me GK :)

[@buckybucky5028]

Love your series Johnnyboy792! Some good movies that year, loved Willie Wonka and Willard. Sean Connery was the best James Bond. Loved the Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Room 222 and those Quinn Martin Production shows. My sister cried her eyes out over that Brian's Song TV movie. Another commercial brings about a hit song, I Like to Teach The Word to Sing.

[@Johnnyboy792]

+Bucky Bucky Hi Bucky ! So sorry it took so long to get back to you. Thank you so much on your kind comments and a very happy Easter to you ! - JB

[@buckybucky5028]

Thanks Johnnyboy792. I hope your Easter was good as well.

[@ddoyle11]

Oh Lord I remember all of these! I wonder what it is about videography in the early 70s that makes everything look brown and orange.

[@sambradley2975]

I remember "Medical Center ", "Marcus Welby MD ", the Coca Cola commercial where the kids sang "I'd like to teach the world to sing " which actually was a hit single on the charts, & of course, the Indian with the tear in his eye, he was actually an American Indian actor who appeared on shows like "The Lone Ranger ".
