Oh my god! My friend has some of those! I tried them on, stood up and flipped over.

OMG!! I still have one of those somewhere in the basement I used to try them every single day but landed flat on my butt!!    It was awesome, though!!

[dj4celine]

And the list of TV shows that you guys mentioned were some of my favs too I don't have to be 40+ to watch them here... we get them as re-runs or something like that on Saturdays and Sundays...

My mom still has a crush on Bruce Wayne I still remember the day she pointed out his skin-tight costume "Gosh!! His nipples are totally visible!!" I was like Did I just hear that or I imagined it??

[ByuSmurf]

How about Electra Woman and Dyna Girl starring Deidre Hall (from Days of Our Lives) LOL!
I loved all those old Saturday Morning Shows!

Great thread  

I remember:

TVs with antennas. Watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon in 1969-memorable day!

Did anyone watch  Zoom, The Archies or Flipper?
  The first year of Saturday Night Live- Killer Bees  and Samurai Bar Mitzvah sketches
6 Million Dollar Man with the sound effects, Super Woman...


Come on and Zoom Zoom Zoom a Zoom!!  And along with the Archies,  Josie and the Pussycats!  

yeah the Six Million Dollar Man and bionic Woman ... slooooow motion with sound effects  


My parents thought the  Schwinn bike with the banana was unsafe so I rode the typical bicycle     The roller skates that needed a key  
My room was filled with flower power stickers, ant-Vietnam war slogans , and Peter Max posters-I threw out all of them...found out a few years ago, many of his posters are worth quite a bit of money

I remember tie dying a t-shirt!

Anyone remember a show called Jabberwocky?

I'm thinking it might have been just a local show...

Oh yeah I remember Electra Woman and Dyna Girl as well as Isis... but they always moved in slow motion... I remember thinking that if they didn't hurry, they'd never get where they had to go and save whoever or whatever they had to save...

Now Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter... she was the ultimate!  Brains, beauty, strength...

NOW YOU'RE TALKING...  

ISIS
Wonder Woman - Lynda Carter   

We had some HOT role models back in the day!  

[celinedionsfan]

Especially Wonder Woman - Lynda Carter is still a beautiful woman

Can't remember who played Isis...

And musically... Olivia Newton-John ... she was the first female singer I liked so much that, after awhile, I bought her albums without having to hear a song first...

Helen Reddy was also popular at the time...

Of course the place to see and hear music in the 70's:

The Midnight Special - featuring Wolfman Jack

Soul Train

and American Bandstand - which had already been on for a few years!

Rosie and Ellen weren't the first to have variety talk shows in the afternoon either.

And The Ed Sullivan Show with Topogio

And a one an a two with Lawrence Welk

I actually went to a live taping of Merv's show back in 1983!

Mike Douglas was a highly underated talk show host. He was great and just seemed like a regular guy but he had great guests. He actually had John and Yoko on a few times and they hosted a whole week of shows by themselves! That guy was ahead of his time, although he would never fit into TV now unfortunately. He was too GOOD.

Music & Lyrics: Gene Raskin; performed by Mary Hopkins)

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do  

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days  

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say  

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days  

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me  

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days  

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same  

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Remember The Smothers brothers TV show - with Pat Paulsen running for President.  Quite a bit of political humor on that show as well as on Laugh In... Sock It To Me!!  

[ByuSmurf]

I remember watching a naughty show called Laugh-In!  
Back then, it was considered crude and vulgar!

[celinedionsfan]

And by today's standards it would be considered rather mild...

All In The Family and Maude were both considered controversial because of the topics they dealt with.

This is a great thread.

I remember Zoom.  I actually had one of the albums.
Hatchy Milatchy (sp?) with Miss Judy.  The Magic Garden with those 2 girls on the swings and the Chuckle Patch.

Dolls of the 70's - Dawn and her friends & Little Kiddles

I loved the Dawn dolls - they had such cool clothes!  

Little Kiddles came in lockets and perfume & cola bottles and smelled really nice!!

Lost in Space was sci-fi for family viewing
