Funny, I have not seen this in ions, but remember the characters so well. The storylines were probably “too adult” at the time for me, but now as an actual adult, I say this was ahead of its time and currently timely in subject matter. What a fantastic show, acting, writing, directing, producing. Everything!
In 1972 the Federal government made the law in regards to correctly balanced students from every racial background. I was in second grade in 72 We lived in Paramount Ca the elementary school My sister and I attended was : blocks away when the new law went into effect my sister and I were bused 18 miles away to another city called Compton. My parents felt we were too young to be so far from home. 6 months later we moved to Simi Valley Ca in Ventura County there was no issue with racial balance of students.
Don't we wish we had started working on carbon footprints and climate change in 1969. If only we could have made the fossil fuel industry listen, really listen. Be safe everyone. 🐾🌎🐾
When I was in tenth grade My sister and I attended a very over populated high school in a upper middle class master planned community where we grew up. Our average class rooms had 60 students with 1 teacher. Our mother realized that our learning capabilities were not being reached. Everyone learns different from one another. So mom pulled us out of the over populated high school and we were placed into alternative high school Each and every teacher at our new school not only had the proper degrees for teaching but they also held degrees in psychology. We called our teachers by their first names. There were no desks we sat on couches and used clipboards. The bell system was replaced with a student who played music. When the music was playing class is over when music wasn’t played class starts. We called the principal by his first name. I learned more at that high school in those 3 years and I became a straight A student. The world needs more teachers and schools like the school I attended
@@zxyatiywariii8 Exactly. When I was a kid, TVs only came with the 12 VHF channels. If you wanted UHF, you had to buy a small tuner box with a lead wire that screwed into the TV's antenna terminals. It also tuned like a radio - smoothly, without clicks, so you had to find the sweet spot for reception.
@@RobMacKendrick Born in 1960, all TVs I ever used had UHF tuners built in, no separate box. In the Los Angeles market 2,4,7 were network (CBS, NBC, ABC), 5, 9, 11 and 13 were local stations. PBS was a UHF station (28) as was 52 which carried Three Stooges, Little Rascals, Anime... . Orange County had 3, 6, 8, 10, 12. Dad built his own Heathkit sets, we had color by 1966. Rooftop antennae were huge.
Yes,smog was very bad in 1970,in different parts of the US.There were so many commercials about smog,polutting the land and waters,etc,etc,...I remember the commercial about the indian shedding a single tear about pollution.
Yeah it was a campaign to start, cars back then just ran straight from the engine. I remember those times. It didn't really go into effect until 1971 that was the last year of veh not having cats.
When you turn a great sitcom into a PSA (Public Service Announcement) makes for lousy programming. Still was a great series. In 1969 the average wage was about $1.20/hour. A school with 3000 students plus faculty could pitch in 50 cents and in one week have the money they needed for a crappy commercial. Not very realistic, but I DO remember 1969 and only the air in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles qualified for the pictures we were looking at.
I remember looking towards Mt. Wilson from Colorado blvd. during the Summers in the early 80s, and the smog was so thick that it made it look as though a solid concrete wall had been erected.

Lloyd Haynes died in 1987 at age 52 from lung cancer. You wonder if it was the air that got him.
It was the tobacco. Heavy smoker. Totally not worth the loss.

Smog alerts were very common back then in Southern California. I remember having recess in the auditorium because smog was so bad.
I believe he was a heavy smoker.
“There won’t be anymore history if everyone dies” that’s deep.
Man that jive turkey from the TV station should just give them the time for free.
Jason was something else!

Yes Wow! We knew then about what Richie said and it is still very much around with us etc!
A great show for its time..reminds me of my high school and principal..

Hey, it's Nells Olsen. He had enough of the smog, and moved to Walnut Grove.
Smart show. Great cast and writing.
Walter Brooke, the District Attorney and one of two people who knows the Secret identity of the Green Hornet.
21:08 - Changing channels with a manual a dial, 2 through 13. UHF was a separate dial.
And when this show was on, our UHF was in a box on top of the TV.
@@RobMacKendrick Wow really? So kinda like the way HDTV required a box for older TVs. . .

And then must've come the "hooped" UHF antennas.
I don't remember the auxiliary boxes.

it starts in california and trickles down to the rest of us in the good old usa
Smog was bad in 1970. I was breathing it. But now it's a money grab. Gas Additives are passed on to consumers profits are skyrocketing for big Corp.

Me too. That was a famous commercial.
He was an Italian American actor portraying an Indian.
That commercial went longer than a minute!
"$80 per minute". . . but _really_ $680.
TV ad costs haven't changed that much, lol. It's still the "incidentals" that are killer.
Love the show,they talk about real problems to do with the world,it’s true the fat cats are ok if things go wrong
So THAT'S where the California emissions standards came from...

Both Edmund and Gerry Brown were instrumental in passing those implementations.
Ralph Nader mentioned then and years later ran for president of usa
Darn the digital breakup! What A Shame!
You got to think that this is 50yrs old.

California 21st century and there are still red air days but it’s not from cars, it’s from forest fires.
The squeaking shoe at 12 minutes is screaming principal shoes
Smog is what caused the beautiful pink sunsets in
Southern California
I remember looking towards Mt. Wilson from Colorado blvd. during the Summers in the early 80s, and the smog was so thick that it made it look as though a solid concrete wall had been erected.
Now it’s burned trees causing them. Once upon a time the midday sun was not red.
Is that René Auberjonois at 1:52?
