I was almost 10 when Elvis died & I remember what I was doing. I was watching the Brady Bunch & they cut in to announce he died. I had to run & tell my sister because she was in love w/him. Everyone had posters on their walls. When I was around 6, it was Donny Osmond. Look up "pin up girls"- usually actresses or models. 1976 was very patriotic- it was fun. You should watch the movie "Spirit of 76" with David Cassidy. It's hilarious & it shows the stereotypes but it's pretty spot on.
In the 70's we didn't have cell phones, or digital cameras, or internet. We had newspapers and magazines. Photos needed to be physically and chemically processed (because we used film to take pictures!) so all we had were things to "Pin to the Wall" All we had was PAPER. :)
Most Dad's had that poster hanging in the garages at home! I had Duran Duran posters everywhere, but before that I had the Shaun Cassidy poster too by the time I was 7. 🤣
My bedroom wall was plastered with David Cassidy posters which I collected from my Tiger Beat magazines. I watched The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, All in the Family, Starsky and Hutch, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, and The Carol Burnett Show. My mother wouldn't allow me to see The Exorcist as it was highly controversial and might give me nightmares. By the way, you may have not recognized Michael Jackson. He was the lead singer of Motown's The Jackson Five as a child. There are clips of him and his brothers performing on various TV variety shows of the decade.
All in the Family and Sanford and Son! Back to back! 😂❤️ I'm pretty sure that poster on his wall was this one. Red swimsuit, beautiful smile. It's iconic.
Hot chick posters was definitely a thing. My dad kept playboy calendars up behind the garage door as to not upset mom. The 70's and 80's when men were masculine, women were feminine and anything else was NOT normal.
Preteens & teens often had posters on their walls. I had posters even in my college dorm early 90’s. I highly recommend watching That 70’s Show as a good tv take on the decade.
I was almost 16 when Elvis died. I was devastated when they cut into my tv program to announce his death. I screamed for my Mom and she came running. When she realized why I was crying hysterically she joined me on the floor crying just as hard as I was. My bedroom wall had posters of all of my favorite actors and singers. Most of them came out of Teen Beat or Tiger Beat. Mostly Tiger Beat. I miss my waterbed. I had one for years.
I had the Farrah Fawcett poster, but my favorite was the poster of Cheryl Tiegs in a pink bikini. I went on a mission to find the poster of Lynda Carter laying on a dark blue couch in a red dress, but I never found it. I did find it on the internet about 12 years ago.
The entire episode was a walk down memory lane for me! I had the Farrah Fawcett poster in my 8th grade locker at school. As far as the scary movies go, the Exorcist and The Amityville Horror are too demonic for me! Halloween is an all-time classic, and I still watch it quite often around Halloween!
Ive known my husband since we were 12 years old - he absolutely had a huge poster of Farrah Facette over his bed! I had posters of Donny Osmond, Bobby Sherman
When I got my own place in 2001, my Aunt Sally gave me her old gold 1970's dryer, lol. I had that thing for years! Every dryer I bought after never lasted that long!
I was a little kid in the 70's, but in the 80's, I had a ton of posters on my wall of singers and bands. My favorite group in the 80's was Duran Duran, and I had over 200 posters of them.
Oh and disco for a long time was considered fad music, superficial, not a valid form of music was even hurled at it. But then again, so was rock n roll, so was metal, so was rap or r & b, basically any new musical style of the day thats opposite of tradition. We do it again and again. Disco is actually getting more appreciation today because even something everyone hated on once can eventually over time, mellow and eventually feelings change. It can become cool to like it without getting your ass beat.
Seen all the horror movies You could do some history again💜 Check out All in the Family, and Sanford and sons for sure💜 😂 My Dad always had a comb in his back pocket 💜 Forgot about wacky packs 💜 Magazines were definitely big My walls were covered with musicians I loved, that i took from magazines, I don't have photos of my room though to share with you... Even had a waterbed 💜 Smokey and the Bandit is fun💜 Thanks Jay ✌️🌞💕
Born in 1976. But raised the same. I was without supervision most of the time. But knew if parents found out what I was doing g I would be paddled. My parents called it the board of education. Because it would educate me not to do it again.
All in the Family is def a show you should check out. The show along with many others from the 1970's like M*A*S*H*, Mary Tyler Moore, Maude and more dealt with social issues of the time while still being funny, some of the story lines in these shows still have something to say about the world we live in today.
A movie you should review is "Over the Edge" and "Lord of Dogtown" Lords of Dogtown was made in 2006 but the era is in the 1970's where skateboarding took off.
@ That’s a big 10-4, Plastic Chicken. I’m going toenails in the radiator on the East Coast pike. I’m back’em down though. No sense being bear bait right before the magic mile. I need some motion lotion and a chew’n choke. What’s your 20, good buddy? Come back

Saw all three of those movies - they’re a must for any horror movie fan FYI - some US sitcoms were taken from UK ones even then “All in the Family” - UK original was “Til Death Do Us Part” “Sanford & Son” - UK original was “Steptoe & Son” Dynamite was like “Look In” magazine “Soul Train”, “American Bandstand”, etc were like “Top of the Pops” And this brought back the memories of my grandfather having CB radios in his cars and we’d all use them on family road trips so if one of us needed a rest stop , all vehicles stayed together. (Remember, no Celphones then)
Even though I saw All in the Family at the Time, I've recently watched clips and it is shocking what was acceptable then. The Brady Bunch is great for 70s style--hair, clothes, house. My bedroom door was covered in Wacky Pack stickers and I may have an old Mad magazine still tucked in a box somewhere.
yep saw al those movies even though horror is not my thing and Farrah graced my walls, Mom didn't like it but Dad was cool his son liked women so it stayed. Al in the Family is a Must See. So is Chico and the Man , Sanford and Son , Goodtimes Welcome back Kotter , Taxi , Barney Miller to name a few
CB stood for Citizens Band. If you've ever watched Gavin and Stacey there is a scene (maybe 2) where Nessa is driving her truck, and communicates with Bryn in his car. It had a language of its own. Everyone had a different sign name. Rubber duck meant learner. What's your 20? - where are you. Smokey Bear - police! Loads more, you can Google them I suspect. Great fun
Horror movies like The Exorcist are interesting because they reflect what people were frightened of, just like The Substance is very telling of modern fears. In the 70s people were losing their religion and so many religious movies about Exorcists and the anti Christ portrayed adults who did not particularly class religion as dangerous so therefore they were easy targets for evil shenanigans. The Exorcist was banned her in the UK so I only got to see it in my 20s. I was a pretty hardened horror fan by then so the fact that it shook me to my core might be a warning that if you're not used to horror, try something much milder 💜
Waterbeds weren't that great unless you spent top dollar. If the water got cold it would cause body aches. So you needed to keep the heater on underneath most of the time. Especially northern winters.
Jay what you're not getting is that's a different America than today, that's America pre-9/11. You're never gonna be able to get a true grasp of the 70's, 80's or 90's simply because the American mindset was far different. It's far too difficult to explain. Gen X is the last generation who will EVER know what it was like to live in our forefathers America, who actually know first hand what it was like to really live in a truly free and unified America. I grew up in the 70's and it was a pretty horrible decade overall. War, Recession, Americans being held hostsge, gas shortages and politically weak. It had NO identity. Hippies, radicals, disco bunny's, shag carpet, everything was orange, brown, green and rust, everything and everyone looking for an identity. Consider it useless information taking up precious hard drive space
I would love you to react to Queen Live At The Rainbow Theatre 1974 'Liar', and see them rocking Cuban heeled shoes - even Brian May (on lead guitar) who is over 6' tall!! Oh, and the music is Sensational. ps I don't think Earth Shoes ever caught on in UK 😄
Kids were much more mature and responsible back then, why ya think GenX is the way we are! We often had bb guns if not actual firearms like .22 cal rifles slingshots & wrist rockets! We also had access to actual fireworks like firecrackers, bottle rockets, roman candles and mortors. We had chores to help around the house and often had summer jobs as teens to afford us some cash and learn work ethics to prepare us for adulthood! Young folk these days have none of this and because of it they have no backbone, no inner strength, no morals, no ethics, no accountability for their actions. And folks wonder why the western world has taken a horrible sh*t this past 30+yrs ...
The “Disco Sucks” thing was just a natural backlash. Disco was THE thing for a few years, and whenever you have a trend that popular, you’re going to have backlash.
Well we loved disco in the Uk the backlash was started by a very jealous American DJ … whatever happened to him ??? Meanwhile the BeeGees went from strength to strength
Ahahaha yea parents dint care bout the **Posters** i made one of my boyfriends take his posters of girls down off his wall ahahaha smh SO **Luv** these! & YES check out ALL the Movies & TV shows
Suggest another rabbit hole. Oversimplified history videos to give a very oversimplifed view of historical events, england too! Lol if you want to understand generational differences you have to know the history they were growing up aound.
All In the Family----Soap is a must
@@danielepps8729 oh oh!!! I forgot about Soap!!! My favorite!!!! ❤️
The 70's were an awesome time of freedom as a kid!! I was born in 1962
I was almost 10 when Elvis died & I remember what I was doing. I was watching the Brady Bunch & they cut in to announce he died. I had to run & tell my sister because she was in love w/him.

All that was said was very much true! Man, I miss those days
As an early Gen Xer, this is all accurate! Jeff Spicoli had Farrah on his wall.

Mad Magazine was early ‘meme’ culture. Very funny

I had Shawn Cassidy all over my wall
David Cassidy wrote me a letter. 😂😂😂
All in the Family and Sanford and Son! Back to back! 😂❤️
I'm pretty sure that poster on his wall was this one. Red swimsuit, beautiful smile. It's iconic.
I was 12 when Elvis died and visiting family on Oahu. It was a huge deal.
We had cb radio's. 😂
This was a great, very accurate, deep dive.
Hot chick posters was definitely a thing. My dad kept playboy calendars up behind the garage door as to not upset mom. The 70's and 80's when men were masculine, women were feminine and anything else was NOT normal.
The long handled comb also made a pretty good weapon. Kinda like a boomerang that didn't return.
Preteens & teens often had posters on their walls. I had posters even in my college dorm early 90’s. I highly recommend watching That 70’s Show as a good tv take on the decade.
All in the Family!! Search for a best of Archie Bunker.
I was almost 16 when Elvis died. I was devastated when they cut into my tv program to announce his death. I screamed for my Mom and she came running. When she realized why I was crying hysterically she joined me on the floor crying just as hard as I was.
My bedroom wall had posters of all of my favorite actors and singers. Most of them came out of Teen Beat or Tiger Beat. Mostly Tiger Beat.
I miss my waterbed. I had one for years.
You’re gonna be shocked by All in the Family show!
I Remember 😊
I was born in 77, but my dad still has his baby blue leisure suit that he was married in! I also had my water bed through my entire childhood.
Q: Why did the Six Million Dollar Man beat up the plumber?
A: He screwed the wrong Fawcett!!
Sorry, the Farrah poster just brought that back...
I had the Farrah Fawcett poster, but my favorite was the poster of Cheryl Tiegs in a pink bikini. I went on a mission to find the poster of Lynda Carter laying on a dark blue couch in a red dress, but I never found it. I did find it on the internet about 12 years ago.
The entire episode was a walk down memory lane for me!
I had the Farrah Fawcett poster in my 8th grade locker at school.
As far as the scary movies go, the Exorcist and The Amityville Horror are too demonic for me!
Halloween is an all-time classic, and I still watch it quite often around Halloween!
Most teenage black boys had posters of actress Pam Grier, Jayne Kennedy and dancer Lola Falana.
I'm fairly sure most if not all of "us", most, has seen all of thoses movies.
I love disco the best way i can explain it jay was that i remember they played bee gees and donna summer so much that people snapped i think.
The death of Elvis Presley is the first news event that I remember. I was 5 yrs old. I was at my grandparents house with my parents.
@@moonglow630 I was the same age! My mom was devastated so that’s what I remember!
@ so was mine!
Posters were such a thing - I also had pics of Matt Dillon from magazines like Tiger Beat 😂😂
Ive known my husband since we were 12 years old - he absolutely had a huge poster of Farrah Facette over his bed! I had posters of Donny Osmond, Bobby Sherman
When I got my own place in 2001, my Aunt Sally gave me her old gold 1970's dryer, lol. I had that thing for years! Every dryer I bought after never lasted that long!

research "Comisky Park Disco Demolition". The night that disco died
Disco was already dead on arrival. It was stillborn
💜💜💜💜
Seen all the horror movies
You could do some history again💜
Check out All in the Family, and Sanford and sons for sure💜
😂 My Dad always had a comb in his back pocket 💜
Forgot about wacky packs 💜
Magazines were definitely big
My walls were covered with musicians I loved, that i took from magazines, I don't have photos of my room though to share with you... Even had a waterbed 💜
Smokey and the Bandit is fun💜
Thanks Jay
✌️🌞💕
YES!! 'All in the Family' will make any Gen Zer who is woke, freak out! Haahaa!
@KatyFaulkner-f6c I definitely feel having both shows as our background sounds helped us see and treat people better ✌️🌞💕
I am 64 we did put stuff on the walls. Brady Bunch was the best. We could relate. Partridge Family too
💜💜💜 Lookie, I did it all by myself! 😂
Born in 1976. But raised the same. I was without supervision most of the time. But knew if parents found out what I was doing g I would be paddled. My parents called it the board of education. Because it would educate me not to do it again.
Back in the 70's to early 80's, a poster was often included with a record
David Cassidy was a heartthrob

Smokey and the Bandit was a fun movie. I'll also recommend the Cannonball Run movies too. Lots of fun.
A movie you should review is "Over the Edge" and "Lord of Dogtown" Lords of Dogtown was made in 2006 but the era is in the 1970's where skateboarding took off.
Breaker, breaker this here’s Droopy Drawers. Anybody got their ears on? Come back.
This is plastic chicken come back over...

I’m back’em down though. No sense being bear bait right before the magic mile.

Saw all three of those movies - they’re a must for any horror movie fan
FYI - some US sitcoms were taken from UK ones even then
“All in the Family” - UK original was “Til Death Do Us Part”
“Sanford & Son” - UK original was “Steptoe & Son”
Dynamite was like “Look In” magazine
“Soul Train”, “American Bandstand”, etc were like “Top of the Pops”
And this brought back the memories of my grandfather having CB radios in his cars and we’d all use them on family road trips so if one of us needed a rest stop , all vehicles stayed together. (Remember, no Celphones then)
Do Phantasm (1979). I came back from the Walmart in the late 80"s and my mom wore my dad out for coming home with it.
still have my WACKY PACKAGES .
I'm 54 and i still have my Farrah poster
The original Marlboro Man was Peter Clune, a local here in Rochester NY.
Youll get so much out of checking out the 1970's shows! All in the Family, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family... Theyre all so different.
Even though I saw All in the Family at the Time, I've recently watched clips and it is shocking what was acceptable then. The Brady Bunch is great for 70s style--hair, clothes, house.

I’m a big fan of the UK tv series “Life On Mars.” If you want to see some of those 70’s fashions in the UK you might check it out.
😂😂😂 in 70s and 80s the kids that had the posters on the walls I say 80% of the posters were bought by mom or dad 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My wall was covered with posters of pop stars
💜💜💜
All in the family, or smokey and the bandit would be good ones. Also I had posters that I would save my allowance for .
💜

Disco was FUN. Maybe those haters preferred misery 😂😂😂😂
Elton John is all you need for platform shoes
ABBA was a big deal in the 70's and they're STILL recording!
Waterbeds weren't that great unless you spent top dollar. If the water got cold it would cause body aches. So you needed to keep the heater on underneath most of the time. Especially northern winters.
I remember when toilet paper was a myriad of different colors not just white.
Oh yeah! Pink, pale green and yellow 😂

Amen to that!

You need to watch Halloween and the exorcist
You need to watch the 1976 movie ..Saturday Night Fever …
They were all good shows: Little House on the Prairie too
I subscribed to dynamite. I couldnt wait for my issue!!
Wasn't around in the 70s but prefer a bathroom with color, 5:34, rather than bland white
The colors were horrible. I was 7 in 1975 and my parents had an orange bathroom lol
Pin up girls started in the 50s Marylin Monore
The “Disco Sucks” thing was just a natural backlash. Disco was THE thing for a few years, and whenever you have a trend that popular, you’re going to have backlash.

Disco music sucked and still does. The music is white boy funk music that had no soul. If you want funk you listened to Parliament funkadelic.
Nobody wants to see Farrah Fawcett now she is old.
