Clampetts were presented with a new co-presenter: The Campbell Soup Company. R.J. Reynolds (Winston/Tempo/Salem) dropped out because to many kids were watching. Kellogg's still presented though.

ANOTHER GREAT SERIES CANCELED BY THE TV NETWORKS BOY DO THEY SUCK.

cartoons and commercials are more worst today then they were then

These actors did 52 shows a year. With the British work mentality we are lucky to get 6 shows a year since they took over Hollywood.

OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks for the look back, wish I was there......

I miss the 70's!!! Trump will destroy everything you fought for....my opinion

I was only 2 in 1970, so I don't remember ciggy commercials, but I remember True cigarettes, which I think were around up to the mid-80s? I liked the "Patton"-inspired AMC commercial with Kevin McCarthy. AMC was a pretty good brand, all in all. There were worse in that decade. But what was that Redford movie? Little Fausy and Big Palsy? Was Steve McQueen busy?

Same grift, different era.

Glad these days are gone. Lived 'em and they weren't that good.

I was 9 living on Fort Benning.

70s didnt have the best music

Must've been a good year cause i popped up in 76...lol

i was 5. I can't believe some of the prices of the electronics back then, shit was more expensive than I thought

TV may have looked very lame and it was. However, our family became closer because of those lame TV shows. It was moments we spent time together.

Watching a 50 year old commercial about a top of the line $500 25 inch color tv on a 32 inch computer monitor that cost me just over $200. Now THAT'S progress!

Getting a "man, we really need some good news" vibe from some of the commercials. America was a little whipped by the loss in Vietnam, Nixon quitting, a previous decade of assassinations and revolutions. The music was good, at least. So were the movies, though it looked like Matthau was coming at George Burns with a butcher knife, there

Great! TV Guide was always present in my childhood. My father had collected the Fall Preview issues of TV Guide dating back to the very early 60s. Remember them well as a kid in the late 60s throughout the 70s as we had a subscription. Always particularly enjoyed them for “Close Ups” on college and pro football, Christmas specials, and afternoon reruns of Lost in Space and Star Trek. Recall also searching for late night showings of old Universal horror films - knowing full well I wouldn’t be allowed to sit up late to watch them - lol.

Back when people were proud to be American. Men were actually men, and women were actually women. I'm sure indoctrination was probably happening at colleges, but nobody dared chanting "death to America" in OUR country. The kids nowadays are a bunch of socialists still stuck to their mama's teets. I was 13 years old in 1975.

Thumbnail @ 15:10, Anitra Ford, still the hottest TPIR model EVER.

That Pacer ad is cool. And that gorgeous Airline console TV! I wish they still put screens in great looking wood consoles like that. Black plastic is ugly.

5:58 what say you Bill O’Reilly?

I was 18 years old in Nov. 1975, and had already been in The Navy for more than a year, and it was definitely an entirely different America then. I'm 67 now, and I'm doing just fine, and a large part of this is due to my time in The Navy.

America, the on going mad scientist experiment. Brought to you (buy) the United States government.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Circa, 1958-1989

This is gone, no more small stores, no more Boys & Girls, no more being proud of being AMERICAN, just a country with a President OWNED by China!!

The country was down in the dumps in 1975 due to the Vietnam war.

I was 22. Makes me feel like 150, now.

big coin big furniture with tv inside ! zenith was once a very highly regarded line this was the era of big sound audio equipment hi fi !!!

Thank you so much, Fred.

I was 9

TOO BAD COMMON SENSE SPIRITUAL FAITH ETHICS MORALS PRINCIPLES EMPATHY GOLDEN RULES DISAPPEARED AS WELL

Id love to go back on one condition.if i can know then what i know now.but back then i didn t have a care in the world.

15 GOING ON 16

I love these capsule month flashbacks, but can’t you change that introductory anthem with the choir singing “This is my country?” That is really cornball as we used to say and so waspy. I love everything else though, Freddy! ❤

The thumbnail. That's a guy in drag. Look at that jaw.

The Carlton Fisk home run was the biggest thing the Red Sox had to cheer about since 1918. The Big Red Machine won the ‘75 Series.

I was seven, turning eight in the summer. Too young to really engage in much other than kid stuff (comic books, cartoons). But I remember what it felt like...

The Pro Draft game was Fantasy Football 40 years before Fantasy Football!

I had just graduated high school. Best summer of my life. My 65 GTO, a bag of weed, and a car load of my cronies headed for the beach.

Close the god damn borders.

Nov 75, at 17 I was finishing up A school in great lakes, Illinois for the US Navy. By December I was already assigned to my first ship to report the day after Christmas.

Fourth grade at the time. I have not heard "Sky High" since then.

The U.S. and especially Democrats have regressed greatly since 1975…

I'm about to turn 60 in a few months, I am deeply disappointed with this country and what it had become. But the memories of the 70s will always be with me.

Thanks again, Fred.

Groceries on that ad was expensive. I've got 3 freezers I keep full, and just last week, I bought 100 lbs. of pork chops for $1.49 lb. 50 lb. of pork steak, $1.49 lb. Banana's for .19 cents lb. All on sale of course. Bologna was high too back then, I get it regular for $1.20 or so now. TV dinners say they are .79 cents ea. May 3rd, I just got 40 of them for $1.00 ea. The ad seems pricey to me, I remember, I had a hard time back then buying up groceries, I usually raised hogs, chickens and rabbits to eat and hunt for the rest of my meat, and grew a big garden.

Even in commercials in 1975 couples had to sleep in separate beds at the Holiday Inn

I was 15 in November of 1975. A freshman. I ran Cross Country in high school. I qualified for the Sacramento Invitational Cross Country meet. In Sacramento, we saw Jaws. And it was my first high school girl friend. Her name was Mary. She ran Cross Country too. She was a sophomore. Whenever there was a home game, football, there was a dance. That Friday, Nov. 7th, was the Leauge Meet. For most of the Harriers, it was the last meet of the Cross Country season. I was joking with Mary, I asked her to hand me my sweats after my race. She did, I felt bad, because I really didn't mean for her to hand me my sweats. But, she did. I apologized, I really didn't mean it. Well I went to the dance. And she went to the game. I met her in the hallway. We started talking. We went in the gym together. We danced almost every dance. It was over in a month. Well in November of 1975, I bought my first Led Zeppelin album. Physical Graffiti. Played it all the time. John Bonham was my favorite drummer. On a bad side note, my 2nd high school girl friend turned out to be a real jack-ass. She still is.

Thank you so much! You put these together better than anything I have ever seen and I miss that era so much! I would go back in a minute!❤

I was a young bride in Nov. 1975. Abba music was everywhere. Elton John’s “Island Girl” played on the car radio as we drove up to Big Bear on our honeymoon, “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” was the first movie we saw together as a married couple. We subscribed to TV Guide even though we only had a portable black and white TV-we couldn’t afford that Zenith Color TV until 1978! Thanks for the memories.
