Weird History presents Timeline 1974. Timeline is going back to the '70s and revisiting some of the most poignant news, sports, culture and entertainment stories from 1974. From the debut of the Six Million Dollar Man, to Richard Nixon's resignation to Hammerin' Hank Aaron breaking MLB's Home Run record, a little bit of everything happened in '74.

I love watching this series. It weirdly gives me comfort to realize that, as a millennial, so many of the issues that we're facing now were fought in similar fashion 50 years ago. It really gives truth to the statement "history repeats itself" in a strangely satisfying way. Sad, sure, but I feel better knowing we're never alone in what we are facing. Thanks for that.

@@kristiskinner8542 The oldest letter ever found (thousands of years old) was a wife complaining to her husband (who was trading in another town) that he never sent any money back home and she was forced to sell off most of what she had. Most likely the husband was living a double life in the other town. The oldest known joke (about 4000 years old) was a fart joke. People don't change much. Only things that change is the technology/tools we have available.

The one thing from 1974 that I really remember was being locked up in a mental institution for 45 days. The old-school psych chemicals, which do their dirty work in the hippocampus, basically destroyed any other memory of that year. Most of what I know about 1974 comes from reading and from watching documentaries. It took me several years to build back my memory of anything after that. I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

Activities and other growing events to bolster self esteem and self worth. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I can't begin to understand or even imagine what or how you felt. Memory wipes aren't exactly what you want unless the traumatic experience is worse to remember than to erase it all. I hope that your fully recovered and are doing well. Take care, and keep on going!

I was born in 1970 so I was just a young child when all this was going on, but I do remember some things about the 70's like the clothes, fondue parties, bean bag chairs, Macromere, disco, many tv shows from that time, riding in the back of a pick up truck was fun. It was safe to drink water directly from the garden hose, riding in the back of a station wagon, no one wore seat belts, I miss Sambos. Fancy stylish vans with a dark plastic window in the back. Atari when it first came out. I had a big wheel I used to ride for hours around the block. They used to make toy guns that looked like real guns, because there wasn't a bunch of mass shootings back then. Candy and bubble cigarettes. Used to love watching Chips, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Happy Days, Little House On The Prairie, Gilligan's Island reruns, Threes company, Sanford and Son, Etc etc. played outside till the street lights came on than you knew it was time to go inside. Life was simpler back than.

For me they remind me of a much better time! A much safer place, more respectful, more fun, and well if you were a kid like I was, born in 1967, so I grew up in the 70's, it was a incredibly fun time to grow up! I remember biking in the woods on the trails that led to Mud Lake! We had forts built out there. We'd go 🎣fishing🎣, swimming, hiking, exploring, and again biking. I remember the🌐Wide🌎World🌎World🌎of🌎Sports🌎, watching the Harlem Globetrotters, Indy Car🏁🏎Racing🏎🏁, and the best......Evel Knievel! Then we'd go out and build a ramp.(These rarely ended well!) We'd then decide what we'd jump and how many of said items we'd attempt to "soar over". Those old metal round🗑🗑garbage🗑🗑cans were usually the most used item. At the beginning of our "block/road" we had a decent hill which we usually used for 🛹🛹 skateboarding🛹🛹, but it worked as a speed booster for you bike as well. Again these never, or RARELY EVER ended well. Sometimes you'd land on the cans, & bounce off them. OUCH! Or if you were lucky? You'd clear the cans but land awkwardly and bounce across the road. Or the worst-case scenario would be landing either ON THE CANS front wheel first, or past the cans, again front wheel first, and then flip over onto your back and slide into home plate on the gravel. Also remember, the 70's kids never or again RARELY EVER wore ⛑🪖helmets🪖⛑, so kids would go home, many if us crying, bawling our eyes out, as Mom picked the road rash off our backs, arms, HEAD, and legs. We usually wore shorts too! Thankfully no one was ever hurt bad. No hospital runs although I'm sure I got a concussion or three. This may sound silly, crazy, and idiotic, and in some ways, I'll agree it was! However back then we didn't have smartphones attached to our heads like an extra appendage. We didn't have💻laptop👨‍💻👨‍💻computers💻, tablets, or multiple gaming systems, and hundreds of television channels. We had ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, & a couple of local unaffiliated stations. We had two. We played outside, we had to use our own devices for fun. Building forts, creating igloos in the winter time. We'd get together with our buddies and play football, baseball, basketball, or the most fun! HOCKEY! But in most cases we had use our IMAGINATIONS! It was truly an amazing time for me growing up in the 70's! I got to meet the Crusher, AWA All-Star Wrestler. I got to meet almost every Milwaukee Brewers players from 77-83. Times were so different! I really miss them too. Take care everyone and God Bless us all!

That $1.99 restaurant commercial...Chopsteak. That was a generational thing I guess. During culinary school I worked at a butcher shop. Besides the fact that my grandfather could've afforded the better grade and cuts of meat before that I was bringing home really amazing steaks. He'd always make comments about Chopsteak. My father-in-law's ABSOLUTE favorite meal (I've worked at some really quality kitchens with amazing ingredients) is a fried bologna sandwich. It seemed so wild to me. Guys, WHATEVER YOU WANT.... "Chopsteak, let your gma cook it. She knows how I like it", "fried bologna sandwich, Oscar Meyer's on sale. The one in the red casing." lmfao. Took me over 10 yrs to realize that it's not just about the taste and the ingredients. It's the memory and nostalgia. When you grow up poor and things like that are a once a month kind of meal...it becomes the a favorite. Everyone eating it, together, good laughs... Good memories. Meatloaf sandwiches are where it's at for me now. I don't make it (which adds to it after 80 hours a week in the kitchen), I don't ever ask for it. My wife will make it on Monday nights sometimes and being Monday and Tuesday are my weekend. Meatloaf sandwiches on rare occasions I get to sit down and enjoy with my kids are the BEST little surprises. Sorry, I know I went on a rant far off topic.

Nixon ended the war. He started the seeds of good relations with China and ended our cold war with them. Signed anti ballistic missle treaty with Russia. Without those accomplishments, you might not have been around to post on here. That's more important achievementsthan most ever in his position do. No he was not as likeable and personal as a Jimmy Carter as an example. But nice guys don't always accomplish much.
