@@francishunt562 @Francis Hunt True, the 70s stagflation was the worst economic downturn in the US since the Great Depression and only got beat by the Great Recession of the 2000s-2010s. The UK and other countries had similar downturns as well. Some Asian countries like Japan experienced a boom thanks to rapid deindustrilization in the west that allowed them to take over manufacturing but between numerous wars in the 60s and 70s, a delayed recession after the post WW2 boom, the oil crisis, a crash of several industries, and increased automation of many jobs there was a rather severe economic slump across much of the world. IIRC the 70s was also when the Soviets started to stall and stagnate after mostly keeping pace with the West and they pretty much plateaued into the 80s and 90s.
Oh l agree.When you look at old footage on the T.V. you think WTF??!!!! I have come to the conclusion that you can't properly remember the seventies unless you were at least born in the early sixties rather than the late sixties like u and I.The punk explosion in the UK I barely remember.Your looking at those years through a child's eyes.There was a BBC documentary featuring Boy George who was about six or seven years older than me and his recollections were completely different from mine because he was a teenager.The various tribes(punks,tedd's, skinhead's) could be incredibly violent towards each other on the street.Football violence was rife.It's not just about remembering children's T.V.
I was born 64, I loved this era and my times as a child, also loved being a punk 🤪 would love to go bk for a while, wish someone would sort out a time machine.
Thank you so much for these videos Paul. Very nostalgic and strangely upsetting when viewed in the current covid circumstances. I wonder if life will ever be the same again. I’m so glad I was a child growing up in this era.
When that Allegro did an emergency stop at the four minute mark I fully expected something to snap and for the front wheels to depart in different directions.
June 1963 what a Time 1970 seven years old 1980 17 all the great memories wish I could go back I do it over at a heartbeat and totally do it different this time around if I could go back. Wish I had a time machine I go back in a heartbeat
Back in the days when whole familes would watch TV together and audiences were regularly above 20 million. Just think how social media and reality TV has changed things...
It's because there's too many options now. That's also why news has become so sensationalist and "clickbaity", in the 70s even in a massive economic powerhouse like the US chances are you'd read a local paper and watch a single news station and you'd only have a few to choose from so without having to worry about a ton of competition the news could focus on giving facts to a wide range of people. Today there are social media sources, influencers, CZcams channels, international news sources, and dozens of news channels to choose from all competing for a country that's only 50% larger, meaning you've got 5000% more news sources competing for 150% of the available watchers. Many "news anchors" have even legally claimed to be entertainers and not journalists because they have to sensationlize everything to such a degree their more actors then reporters.
Born in 67 , grew up in the 70s . The music late 70s was brilliant . Made me smile that the Sunday press only had talk about lollipop men😂 Thank you for uploading
Wow we're we lucky as a kid then my goodness it gave me tears and laughter remembering those times ,I wish to go back there but not be a young kid now its all so nasty toxic crap going on angry and hate and people's mind set are soooooooo different now . Cheers its good to have these memories in the good old 60/70s ✌️
I do think the 70s and 80s had the best opening themes, most shows now feel so generic. I used to watch alot of old reruns as a kid in the 90s and 00s and can remember more intros from the 70s then from today.
I remember when Hong Kong Phooey first came out me and my fellow 10 year old mates at school were looking forward to it so much. The day after....it was like social media back in the day. Some people loved it, some people hated it. Nothing changes eh?
@@andymoore9977 I'm a 59er too, and I thought that growing up in the 60s and being a teenager all through the 70s was magic and just the best time. Wouldn't want to be young now at all.
That last advert .... common courtesy, respect !! We grew up with manners taught, at home and school.....can you imagine showing that add today 🤣 This generation needs it more than we ever did !! Oh god I've turned into my mother!!
Yes I agree 💯 we were thought to help any elderly people with their shopping now they would think you were going to mug them in the book of Timothy second C3v1 it says that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here and that people will be greedy and have no natural affection and not open to any agreement to me it is like reading the news paper Eileen
The hilarious thing is people say the same thing about every generation. My great grandparents hated it when women had hair too far past their shoulders or if men had hair longer then a couple inches, they thought hippies were the scum of the earth, and that pot was ruining the whole world. My grandparents thought that men with hair down to their shoulders or any facial hair beyond a tightly groomed mustache was disgusting and that mustaches were "a little too European", and they thought that rock and roll promoted sex and drugs which were corrupting the morals of the youth and that the whole counter culture movement was weakening the country and opening the door to the communists. My parents thought that heavy metal and grunge promoted devil worship and drugs and were responsible for all the school shootings and that later hip hop and rap caused gang violence. I cant remember people complaining about how Bart Simpson glorified disrespecting your elders way back in the early 90s and people even tried to get the show canceled over it. Watch old movies and you'll see the same thing: people of parenting or grandparenting age complaining about "kids these days and their corrupted morals", doesnt matter if it's a film from the 50s, 70s, 90s, or today. This attitude even predates film, there accounts of nobles in the middle ages complaining that all the rules in jousting (which used to be a free for all where knights would even kill each other on purpose, attack random spectators, and focus more on stealing horses or equipment from each other then sport) were making warriors of the day weak and effeminate. A few leaders in the 1800s thought that society needed regular wars because they thought that not joining the military lead to young men becoming weak, effeminate, partying, and not gaining proper values and discipline. in the 1700s people even tried to get couches banned because they thought young people were spending too much time sitting, laying down, or sleeping and that it was leading to them being lazy and would lead to too much sex and erode their morals.
A time of hope and aspiration. The 70’s:- I was 16-26. A time for the best British ruby ever. Not all good news:- The 3 day working week. House prices galloping away. Fuel prices started their meteoric rise. 17% interest rate. Miner’s strike. Oh yes, I lived near Loot’n Airpor

The 70s did have a ton of crap (serious look at a lot of the animation from the era) but did have plenty of good stuff too. People tend to suffer from "nostalgia filters" since after 20+ years people tend to quiet airing reruns, making copies, or remembering any bad movies/tv shows/music but the good stuff stays around and gets remembered so after a few decades people mostly just remember the best a decade produced.
Love the video, thank you! Does anyone remember tales of the unexpected? Its theme music along with the ladies dancing with flames used to give me the creeps as a child ha ha , yet i now have the same music as my mobile phone ring tone because i love it now im older...its knd of dreamy but creepy x
05/16/2021 1957 baby here. We played that Swingball on playgrounds, but it was actually called Tetherball. And those Clackers were actually very dangerous & they stopped making them. Does anyone remember playing 4 square?
Mind Your Language.... Oh those were the days when it was ok for actors from various ethnicities to accept their roles in programs were for comedy purposes and not to be taken out of context and to the stupidity it is nowadays... Also... ROCKFORD FILES!!! haha.. Oh and when Dr Who WAS good... Dammit, them were the days!! I'm 49 (born 71) but still remember this (and your other 70's nostalgia video here on YT)... 😁😁😎😎
A Quinn Martin Production, I liked to watch Canon. I was in a landing craft in the Panama Canal going East and the Pacific Princess (Love Boat) was going West, lots of people on the top ship we were waving at us. I was lucky to be an M60 machine gunner at the time, because I had a pair of binoculars.
As dumb as it may sound as a guy born in the 90s, I really wish I'd been around in the 70s and 80s. Sure there was the Vietnam War, the oil crisis, deindustrialization, and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression but things seem so much more real then. The 21st century has it's perks (like CZcams!) but I'd have loved to have been able to live life then.
And they didn't feel the need to warn us about every little thing before a programme starts, just in case someone gets offended or upset, and that's before 9pm. Grrrr! That's one of my biggest peeves of today.
Born in 1971 height of glam rock era , i celebrate milestone 2021 , what serious memories ... I think ill consult my book of kung fu ...lol ..it was his cat .. Marathon why changed to snickers ..... Space 1999 still classic , omg metal Mickey Hell no wasn't that 80s? , Rest in peace Dave Prowse ...green cross code man / Vader what a icon .. Lilt the totally tropical taste , Baker was my doctor growing up , mr magee don't make me angry ...ill go green .....mind your language ....very unpc now ......nationwide remember that ....omg not the love boat ....please no ..... Simon may's number one .....my gran loved Dallas ... Sometimes being a child of the 70s has a lot of cringe .. Lorraine chase ...nah Luton airport ..... Who didn't fancy farah Fawcett ...... Oh Jim rockford lol..... Palitoy what a shame it shut down
When did they colorize Spiderman? He was on a 19" B/W when I watched it! 😁 Matter of fact all these shows were black and white! Except of course not the British stuff that I never saw in the states. Love Boat was followed by Fantasy Island. Left out Star Trek the movie, and The Muppet Movie. Hawaiian Punch doesn't make many of these compilations either. Loved my Big Wheel, and I had the Eagle ship from Space 1999, but my Mom sold it at a yard sale!😢
Ha! Someone bought me a pair of klackers then, though I've never heard them being called miracle klackers before. Some had plastic one's but mine were glass, like very large green marbles, and the only miracle I can recall about them was that I never sustained a broken arm using them. Plenty of bruises though. Crazy things that probably wouldn't be allowed nowadays and deemed too dangerous.
True, I've heard stories of the glass ones shattering and spraying kids with broken glass or the string breaking and hitting people. Get a 1 inch giant glass marble going at high speed and the thing is like a weapon, it's essential like a sling and if a sling can kill Goliath it can do a decent amount of damage to a kid. I had a set of them as a kid in the 90s but they later had 2 separate strings (which were more of a high strength plastic like fishing line) for each ball so if 1 broke it wouldnt go flying and they were made with smaller balls that were a more lightweight plastic and by the early 2000s they had rigid plastic arms.
Has anyone else ever thought about how much Kate Jackson from Charlie's angels looks like Courtney Cox from friends?? And they BOTH come from Birmingham, Alabama. What does all this mean?
05:20 £15.50 in 2021 money is about £95! I can buy 10 OK quality watches for £100 in 2021. Maybe 70s were not all that good... just joking, I only need one watch at a time (pun intended).
Wonderful! Wouldn’t want to be a kid now...the world’s gone mad.
Please take me back to those great times growing up without a care in the world ❤️
I feel lucky to have grown up in the 70s. Comics, movies, cartoons, toys, the sweets were better, great bands in the charts like abba and queen etc
Without a doubt, the best decade to be a kid
I agree!!
In some ways. There was a lot of poverty around though for the real 'working class'.

65-75 was THE weird stretch! LOL :)
It was the best of times.

Quite right too! Marathon and Opel forever!

Time when media didn’t run the country and course trouble. Lovely time to be young
I think they did 😄
The media was certainly more independent then than they are now.
It could be argued the trade unions ran the country in the 1970's.

Born in 1970 can remember so many of these .
Same age as me, then!
Any one also remember the man from Atlantis and of course the six million dollar man,pipkins,animal krackers .
Man From Atlantis was MASSiVE in UK yet gets overlooked for some reason.
It only ran for one year though. but was repeated lots.
I was lucky enough to be a teenager in the seventies. An exciting decade
I am therefore much younger than you, as I was born in 1970 and have just turned 53. The 70s were my formative years!
Loved it 👍❤️😘
I want to go back now xx
Television was much better in the Seventies.
This takes me back cheers Paul 👍
brilliant videos more 80s please.
The 70’s … great time . Work ,sleep n party. Then do it all over again the next day , night clubs the disco scene studio 54 . 80’s was the same.
PUNK CAME ALONG IN 1976 WHAT A GENRE WHAT MUSIC
A time of hope and aspiration. The 70’s:- I was 16-26.
