Questions of the week: 70's Edition! Yahoo!!!!

[sweet sparrow]

I was born June 79 so cant really answer the questions

1979 is still in the 1970s! You can still answer!

Wait, does that mean I shouldn't have answered those questions? I'm skulking off to find the 80s and 90s questions now.....

I LOVED the 70's.....best memories of my life! I was at the right age to go to the discos, loved disco music....and hang out with older boys lol

I just wish my memory for details was a bit better lol

I remember Seafarer jeans, Frye boots, KC & the Sunshine Band , overalls and of course, polyester ? I remember having a pair of black and white platform shoes that I absolutely had to buy. Mary Tyler Moore show, and all the other great tv shows that I still love!

[Natalka]

Oy, You Light up my Life done by Patti Smith is absolutely horrendous!

We did it at the convent as a 250 voice all-girls choir - that was phenomenal! However, I love the original!

This was another one of my favourites, when she played Scarlett with the drapery dress!

[erin9mmm]

This thread got me thinking. I should put these answers in a scrap book etc. for my girls to look at someday and see how mom grew up!

[Andit]

I LOVED Columbo!!! I'm missing one of the DVDs to complete the collection (got Season 6 & 7 for Xmas, just missing one of the movie collections).

The first show I remember watching was Mod Squad. Never watched the kids shows, mostly murder mysteries with my Mom (my Dad worked nights). And I would come home from school for lunch and watch reruns of Leave it to Beaver and Flintstones with my Mom.

Anyone else ever watch Definition? And what was with the prizes on Canadian game shows? The grand prize always seemed to involve Turtle Wax???

[Natalka]

Gosh, I loved Definition! Jim Perry!
Also watched Beat The Clock, Headline Hunters, Front page challenge, This is the law.

It was such a huge deal in the mid-1970s when we got cable tv!
Biggest thrill was being able to watch SNL!

[operabob]

Oy, You Light up my Life done by Patti Smith is absolutely horrendous!

ROTFLMAO

But ultimately it led to this!



Luv Bif! Unfortunately she's battling a return of breast cancer again. Best thoughts to you Bif.

Remember the Carol Burnett show and her version of "Feelings"!

I LOVED the Carol Burnett SHOW! That was the best!!! Yahoo!!

[vesper]

I wish I were born a few years earlier so I could have enjoyed the 70's in all it's glory!

My first real memories that I can remember are from 1980. Team USA win, Reagan elected, Lennon shot... I barely remember any real memories from the 70's at all!!

[i_forget]

I am the same way. Aside from personal family moments, nothing really sticks out from the 70s for me.
I still love the music and the styles.

[ninna]

Best fashion from the 70's? Bell bottom pants

Worst fashion from the 70's? Anything polyester

Best song from the 70's? Blondie. One Way or Another. lol. I wanted to be Deborah Harry when I grew up.

Best looking babe/sir from the 70's? I had a bad bad crush on John Schneider from the Dukes of Hazzard. A close second was Eric Estrada from CHIPS.

Best film from the 70's? I didn't see many films at the time but I do recall my Aunt taking us to the drive in to see Jaws.

Best trend or craze from the 70's? Oh my word I had forgotten about those toe socks til Natalka pointed them out. My sister had the EXACT same pair of rainbow ones. LOL

Worst trend or craze from the 70's? Pet rocks were incredibly dumb.

Best car or truck from the 70's? VW beetle. Endless hours of punch buggy fun while riding in the car.

Personal best thing to happen to you in the 70's (if applicable) I was born!

Add any further views on the 70's if you want! (70's pictures are strongly encouraged!)

i wish you were old enough to remember the 70's it was a blessed era

i miss the 70's, music, culture, lifestyle, innocence, entertainment
