National Anthem and flying flags. "This ends our broadcast day". "This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast Syttem. This is only a test. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been directed where to tune in your area for information"

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.

@@renee4690 I was born in 1967, so like you I grew up during the 70's and it was perfect! As kids we used our IMAGINATION for our fun. I can remember family night at the 41-Twin Drive-in Theater. 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!

YESSSSSSS

@Henry ~ Well said! 🙏 for ☮️🧡

20 years from now kids will be saying the same thing about the 2020's.

Me too. I miss those days for sure.

Agreed. Born in '59. Kid in the '60s, teen in the '70s, a 20-something in the '80s, and I would even include 30-something in the '90s were all pretty sweet. The '80s were my favorite, I think at least partly influenced by my age during that decade. I'm still doing ok, but I sometimes hurt in places I didn't even know I had back then. As some comedian said (Sinbad?), you know you're getting old when you can manage to hurt yourself while you're asleep.

You are lucky ... i was born bang in the middle of the 70's so i missed out on all the 70's disco clubbing with REAL dj's on real decks...wish i could have experienced that era as a teenage so much

It's rather amazing how much history/pop culture is captured in those 30-60 second ads,you really wouldn't think that they had enough time 2 do that,but they knew what they were doing,everything holds up 2 this very day,actually doing the job of making you want 2 purchase the actual product(nowadays it's the exact opposite,my pillow,seriously)? I sorely miss those days of pure innocence,it didn't even feel that way then,but it was,surely isn't now,is it? I was born in '67,so I've been a witness firsthand of all the the decades of drastic change,incredible! TV in Europe respects/acknowledges your intelligence,US TV insults it,reality tv,really? I love classic/vintage tv,collect them on DVD boxsets,can't get enough,they harken back to an incredibly beautiful/revolutionary time in American history,I'll always cherish it...
