Question for you older guys

[JohnnyDrama]

I always thought Sesame Street was kind of weird.

Hey, man, it was the '70s. Ever watch H.R. Pufnstuf?

Yeah, drugs may have had an influence.

Here's another from the Krofft brothers;


...and another;

I remember friends talking about these shows but I only and rarely saw them as reruns. My parents didn't get us a TV until I was eleven. I never got into them.

Dang. I used to get up early on Saturday to watch Looney tunes, Space ghost, Johnny Quest...
I am fricking old.

Those were some of my favorites...

Speed Racer...a little earlier than the '70s, but still in reruns at the time.

I enjoy watching speed racer rerun cartoon as well when I was little kid.
During the 60s, Honda was getting into racing including F1, and cartoon was basically the advertisement for Honda.

White car with red circle (where Mach5 has 5 inside the red circle).
White Lucky strike car w/ ad which has red circle.

Having a toddler of my own now, I'm getting some taste of modern day Sesame Street. Which made my wife and I recall our youth.

My question is....was everyone either on cocaine or LSD in the late 70s?

It seemed weird as a kid. Seems much weirder now.

Having graduated HS right in the middle of the 70's the answer would be YES. Now I was a good boy but Oregon did make possession of weed a ticket and I still do not remember why the entire 1st period class laughed at the teacher nonstop.

With all of these other programs being discussed here how did you guys find time for Captain Kangaroo?

Also, this thread reminded me that I’ve been meaning to see if I can drag up some old episodes of All in the Family to rewatch. Liberal heads would explode if we had a show like that today.

In the 50's there was one neighbor with a TV and 11 kids (Yep, Salt Lake City).
All the kids would gather to watch Superman and Howdy Doody.
We got our own TV about 1959 and Dad limited viewing to one hour each Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
That box will rot your brain - read a book.
When we traveled and stayed at motels, we paid a quarter each 1/2 hour in a mechanism to watch TV
The time always ran out in the middle of a show.
Yep!



You asked for the old-timers to chime in!

Just stay off my lawn and turn down that rock and roll music!!!
Somebody answer that damn phone!!!
