No problem, LC. (I was waiting for you to write: Uh, one more thing...)

@@FredFlix You know it..! LoL..:-)

No problem with ranting. I too think of all those that were still alive back then too.

"Nightmare Times." Great description.

2020-2021 would like to have a word with you.

@@videosuperhighway7655 yes

@@videosuperhighway7655 I'd like to have a word with 2020-2021... The shows today are puzzling to me, not like the early seventies.

Yes, it is nightmare times. Weak men create bad times.

I know , i was there , school was nothing but stress for me .Sunday was torture ,I lived in a small town so not even Sunday shopping to take my mind off MONDAY YUCK.

Konga 5000 agreed I can remember going to the butcher and then the candy store with my grand mother. On Sunday stores we closed as well as holidays you could hear a pin drop. Riding bikes, hop-scotch, skully, red light green light, handball, and stick ball. We had it good in Queens New York. Now we have Whole Foods (whole paycheck) and over priced hipster restaurants in Brooklyn I’m not happy.

@@breakingdragon22 I'm with you on Whole Foods/Paycheck. Bohack's they ain't.

This is a hodgepodge of old tv shows, but do you ever look for individual episodes of Columbo, Movie of the week, or The FBI?

@Konga 5000 In 1970-71, the White Front store on Hawthorne Blvd. was crowded then; that department store even did dry cleaners clothes for you! I think White Front, and my Wallach's Music City (near Artesia Blvd.) were torn down and long gone by 1980 ( or 1989, at the most)? I'm not sure anymore.

thomas washington ditto 😞

Same here. Me too.

Yup

‘65 babies. What an amazing childhood.

thomas washington same

It's a great theme!

How was it "groundbreaking"? The first masterpiece of tokenism? You don't really BELIEVE in Diversity, do you? Notice she said "buy" the world a Coke and not "give"; you'd think the hippies would have noticed. I was in 7th grade in '71, too, but it was a ghetto school. These days that school has a barbed-wire-topped fence around it, and a guard gate.

I have that commercial saved on my phone😊

The intro was enough for me...

@Konga 5000 What do you think of Kolchak: The Night Stalker?

@Konga 5000 The 1979 movie "Tourist Trap" with Chuck Connors and Tanya Roberts was scary when I was a kid, now that I am older and see the copy cat parts from Psycho makes it creepy to me now.

@Konga 5000 the did and it was very short, but Johnny Depp wants a try at it now...I have heard

Me too

@Sharon Cinna Stephen King? "Duel" was written by legendary horror writer Richard Matheson and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg also directed the very first Columbo episode.

Birth of a legend.

Absolutely.....

Clinton Pough Na, The good old days weren’t all that good.

Paul Lee: Not saying it was perfect but good enough for me. 📻 ☎ 📺

@paullee7467 "And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems"

Yes I pull it up on youtube and listen to it regularly, brings back a lot of good memories

Yes, me too! It sounds more like the theme for a western than it does for a mystery but I love it! I didn’t become a Columbo fan until just about 3-4 years ago but I remember that classic opening! Always loved it! I wish MeTV in Chicago would show it complete with that 70’s opening!

Henry Mancini composition. Very similar in arrangement to his other TV theme included here, "Cade's County". He did album versions of both that were nice, too.

Don Drapers swan song. That coke commercial

lambchopxoxo, Columbo was always my favorite.

Big medicine hammer.

I liked "McCloud" and "Quincy M.E.," too.

You said it. I bought the complete series so that I can watch any episode whenever I want. Columbo is the best.

Columbo

Me too! In sixth grade and skidding toward puberty! Loved the blue eye shadow and long straight center parted hair!

I had a crush on Susan Dey. Fifteen years later when I saw her on L. A. Law, I said to myself: what was I thinking???

I turned 4 years old June 18, 1971. I had a HUGE crush on David's half brother Shaun during the late 1970's!

I'm making a wild guess here: you are not a Republican.

Don't forget Metromedia Network too !!!!😉

@@alainrheault6579 If your rabbit ears or antenna were powerful enough to pick them up. WXIX in Cincinnati was nearly impossible to pick up clearly in Dayton without a roof aerial.

@@ChristopherUSSmith Exactly. As I learn about Metromedia Network (and it was the same with Dumont Network before), mainly channels of these networks were in UHF signal band (with exceptions like WTTG 5 in Washington). For pick up the signal, you also need a special antenna (you know, the round one !!!)😊😊😊😊 PS : Sorry for my late response ! Friendly

@@alainrheault6579 No problem. We only had the little UHF loop, which was not very effective without a power booster

Lucky if two came in clear . In my city there was a CBS and ABC affilliates but NBC was 60 miles away and PBS 80 miles in the opposite direction .

.....and Don Adams.

She and Farrah did a Head & Shoulders ad...

Holy Crap she was ugly!

Thanks Don Draper

Spawned two top 40 hits, one reaching #13 and the other reaching #7. Great memories.

That movie was so heartbreaking and impactful and we definitely talked about it at school among friends and in the classroom.

I was 12 when I first saw it and cried like a baby

It was on decades the other night and I watched it what a good movie

the mashed potatoes 🤗

It was good for race relations for awhile.

Can you imagine what social media would have been like if had been around in 1971?

My husband's dad and mine were Army and Air Force, respectively, and they loved MASH. We saw the final two hour episode with my father-in-law. We made a night of it.

@@judyjones5089 Which character did they like the most? From the 1st time they showed him (when the episodes were new, sponsored by Prudential ) I instantly did not like B.J. Hunnicutt, but then when Winchester came onboard, I liked him right away.

@@bobbyfrancis8957 Hi, Bobby, I don't know that they had favorite characters as much, as they related to the show itself. The military in all its bureaucracy and the snafus that can happen, yet be one of the best in the world. I remember Dad saying what a goofballl Hawkeye was, yet how serious he and professional he became when saving lives. All the tom-foolery took place between serious engagements, but everyone was very focused when it really counted.

@@judyjones5089 Actually, did you miss them, when the episodes were new and Col. Blake and Trapper John were replaced? I laughed alot more at the earlier episodes than the much later ones. But then, Frank Burns was on it awhile longer. Instead of being mean, the Burns character developed into a funnier character, at times.

@@bobbyfrancis8957 I actually watched the series off and on until its end. The 11 year span started while I was in college. By the time it ended, I had graduated and gotten a teaching job out of state, became engaged, moved, married, and changed careers, so MASH wasn't a weekly priority with me, but I liked all the characters. Harry Morgan did a great job as Col. Potter.

Want to watch a good parody of K-Tel, look for SCTV's "Stairway to Heaven" album. Oh it is so funny!!! SCTV was awesome!

"SCTV" was the forerunner to "Saturday Night Live", and "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was the forerunner to both.

You deserve a brick today . . . My brother worked at Mickey-D's in those days and he hated that f*ing song.

Loved it! :D

Who ?

Who is Dan Draper

@@dwightpowell6673 You and Andrew have never seen MAD MEN?

The wonders of a new age retreat.

The song went all the way back to the first pilot in 1968, titled JUSTICE FOR ALL (the Justice family)

I'm afraid you're right, Eric. The mojo IS gone.The thing is, back in the day, when men were men and women were glad of it, most people didn't mind it. Those were the roles we played and it was OK. Sure, it NOT right if a woman is paid less than a man, doesn't advance and is sexually harassed. I get that. The changes have been long-needed. But we can still wax nostalgic about "the good old days." Those days were bad for some, but for many of us, they were DAMN good!

@@FredFlix , that's the fairest assessment I've ever read!

@@ladyi7609 Thank you ladyi7609.

Arguably, masculine drive got us the moon landing, invention of the Super Bowl, and Clint Eastwood's entire career, but toxic masculinity got us the Cold War, the agony of Vietnam, and that day at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. One can't say it's an unalloyed good.

Masculinity died after we landed on the moon in 1969. In fact America died then too. July 20th, 1969.

I'm watching this again! 😆

You're welcome, Bear P.

Bob Landers, Dan Ingram, William B. Williams and Scott Muni all excelled as New York deejays and as commercial voiceover announcers on television.

@@armorybrunotjr.3204 Excellent point! All great on the NY radio airwaves and as v/o announcers.

Glad you liked it, Wayne.

You're welcome,.

That's encouraging to hear, Adam. But no, I'm not an ABC-exec....just a long-time (40 years) video collector. But when I don't have something I need, I don't mind downloading it from KZfaq itself. Whatever the source, I just want people to see it and remember those times.

They not only came off the dealer's lot with all those engineering features, but with several square feet of free rust (which ended up killing 98 percent of them).

I loved that theme from ABC movie of the week. I would love to have as my ring tone it trip out so many boomers like me. That song is called Nikki written by Burt Bacharach in honor of his Daughter. It's an instrumental on one of his records.

Thanks, Anna.

Both products were on the market at the same time

That commercial featured the late Phyllis George, the 1971 Miss America! Rest in peace, Phyllis.

The cinema was probably the go in the 70s, rather than the guff being served up on the telly. Not that the cinema would have done me with my somewhat discerning brief, but for anyone with broader tastes than me, then, yes, it would have been the big screen. They actually did have a real clue about movie-making in the '70s.

Yes I Remember Those 1970's Too , Movies / TV ..But My Dad Strict Schoolt Bed Time Was 9 pm Sharp It Only Was Lifted Once I Turned 18 Feb 26 , 1981 .. Lol , ... 9 PM SHARP so I Only Heard To Movie / TV after I Was In BED on School Night ( 1969 - 1981 , Before Feb 26 )

Gary Kerns I was in size 1 (cloth & safety pin) diapers.

Sadly, it’s no longer the real thing. They replaced sugar with high fructose corn syrup.

Marie Katherine lucky for me I live a hop skip and a jump away from Mexico. Original formula to include real sugary diabetic goodness.

I remember it too. It was popular in 1971 -1972. Well at least it's on KZfaq and it brings back memories of families and friends. I showed it to my teen aged son and he rolled his eyes and said "Ok Boomer!" I told my son in 40 years you 're gonna look back on present day commercials and wonder why your generation was obsessed with sex!

@donkique956 That Mexican Coke is available throughout the U.S. I buy it by the case from the only local market that has them...others offer singles or a 4-pack.

ddoyle11 I seem to recall other worries like our troops dying in Vietnam, colleges campuses aflame with riots, hijackings of commercial civilian flights, the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, race relations, busing, the women's rights movement, and many other worries beyond pollution. It's easy to look back with fondness and forget the bad.

That is so true. And you know what kind of "therapy" we had to deal with these tragedies? Not the kind of mollycoddling you get with today's kids who are treated like delicate ornaments and are taught to be afraid of their own shadows. No, our "therapy" was simply, "That's life kid. Deal with it."

@@1964DB wasn't degeneracy also out of control? Pedophilia wasn't as much of a big deal as it is today.

@@1964DB Yeah, True...It's human nature though. We (humans) always are thinking things today are so much worse than the past, But yet, Many,many things are better (and the past also sucked in many regards.) I don't like today's music. Ok, Fine! What ever I want to hear is a button way!!! would not have been a "thing" in 1971, If I didn't already HAVE those records from 1939-1959, TOUGH, I'd have to listen to whatever the radio had or to nothing. (Movies,TV too!). Also Regardless of what the 24hr news cycle tells us, There has NEVER in modern history been a more PEACEFUL period than NOW!!!. -I know that CNN,FOX,MSNBC won't say THAT (liberal or conservative..don't matter...) It's true!!! So too with crime. It was WAY more dangerous in NYC in the 1970's than today (Contrary to what 25 years of Law and Order taught, there's NOT mangled corpses littering Central Park daily.) NYC is statistically safer than Pittsburgh! (My hometown,witch is ALSO safer now than in the '70s!) And we have better medical science,Gays are not as afraid of being "outed",And regardless of how it's portrayed, MUCH better race relations now (I live in a 50/50 black/white neighborhood and no one really notices "race" if they are under 40.) Yeah, I would like to be back in 1971, for the music and the cars - But I'm not sure I'd leave today. I can always tune out today's music and today's TV - Using today's technology. - There was no GOLDEN AGE ,ever. We are just humans doing our own thing. - The Beat Goes On....!

You lived in a cardboard box apparently.

You're welcome!

DoctorShocktor how bout the theme song by Henry Mancini that’s a neat one

That's okay... they basically rebooted on Netflix and called it, "Longmire." ha

And MASH was replaced by a little show called afterMASh.

@@willyboy6126 I was in 7th grade Junior High we did that Coca-Cola song as our part of the Christmas play and as I recall we did a pretty damn good job of it

Yeah, but they won't know it.

Yes.. because it's all garbage

You're welcome, Bobby.

Yeah, but it sounded like he said D. A. Cooper.

You're welcome, Robert.

The fact that the actor ("Iron Eyes" Cody) was not actually a Native American does nothing to diminish the impact of the message - though such casting would be considered politically incorrect today. Nearly 50 years later, it still packs a punch. The narrator was actor William Conrad who starred in "Cannon" at the time.

Encouraging to know, merce.

@@FredFlix My pleasure. 😊

They had a build your own burger bar. Went there a few times as a kid.

Burger Chef and Big Boy

Hardee's still offers the Big Shef in some areas...

I never go the chance to eat at Burger Chef either, Luis. If I ever did, I certainly don't remember it.

Or else they got the shit kicked out of them. I remember. No thanks.
