Title: other 70's crap. (aside from good music and VW clubs)
Post by: Jim Ratto on December 20, 2007, 23:16:49 pm
Think the 70's were all about clean, shaved Cal Look cars and Led Zeppelin? Drunken VW club rallies and fast VW gassers at OCIR?

I can think of some pretty stupid stuff...

The oil embargo crisis
The first catalytic converters
EGR valves
5 mph bumpers
The Mustang II
feathered hair
some truly awful TV shows (shazam, CHiPs, Wonder Woman stand out)
Some even worse movies (Hooper, Death Race 2000)
avocado and orange formica kitchens
Huge, oversized Amana microwaves
Fiats

1972 Ford LTD. Friend of mine had one of these many years ago. The battery died and we tried to push start it. Not going to happen.  ::)  But you could drive around with eight of your closest friends in it.

Boy the 70's were pretty wild.  Yes, there were a host of silly TV shows.  Didn't the sit-com come about in the 70's - All in the Family, others?

I remember as a kid watching some shows thinking they were awesome, only to see them later thinking "what did I see then that I don't see now?"

Remember some of these classics from Saturday night?

Emergency
Carol Burnett
Mary Tyler Moore
Bob Newhart
Hawaii Five-O

Sunday evening's always went like this:
    Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom
    Wonderful World of Disney
then off to bed...


Anyone remember the TV show "Movin' On" with Claude Akins?
OP shorts
Hang Ten shirts
Vans red/blue shoes
Fat watchbands and belts
Sandles made from car tires?
The energy crisis?
Gas in 1977 was $.75/gallon!
Carter's mess dealing with the Iranian hostages
The Olympics of '76

But how can we NOT talk about the music!?!  Some of the best rock came out during the 70's.   8)

Emergency 51 was my favorite show when I was a kid.

Sheep had some of those tire sandals about 10 yr ago, from a trip to Mexico.
