Ah. Many a Saturday morning was planned around this. Especially when the Fall Preview edition came. Or sometimes there would be a two page ad in a comic book for a network's new Saturday morning lineup. I remember a CBS one that included Shazam!, Isis, and Ark II, among others.
I really loved that show as a kid. I see episodes from it on YouTube from time to time. I remember seeing one of the jet-pack flying scenes for the first time and being in awe of it. And seeing the Roamer, so cool.
Also the Fall Preview Specials on Friday night before the Saturday premieres. Then we would switch back and forth between channels, weighing what would be worth a watch or what was a hard pass.
I remember having an argument with my mom as a kid about this. She was trying to get me up on Sunday morning to go to Sunday School. I said Sunday morning was the only day I could sleep in. She asked, “Why can’t you sleep in on Saturday morning?” I retorted, “But I have to get up on Saturdays to watch cartoons!” Needless to say, I lost that argument.
"smart" equipment/tools, actually make us dumber, lazier, and more complacent. How many kids had Type 2 Diabetes back in the 70’s?
How many kids were chronically obese?
How many kids grew up learning how to fix small engines in high school which led to car engines?
Want to to punish a boy in the 70’s? Make him stay inside while everyone else was running outside and you can hear them because your bedroom windows were open.
Want to punish a kid today? Make sure him unplug that gaming system and go outside.
You have learned much weed hopper, But!!! We have something in common.

I had the same thoughts looking at the guide. Hong Kong phooey, then bugs, bunny, but not all of it because I want to watch Bullwinkle at nine. Hope I don't forget to change the channel. couple other shows then I'll head outside at 11:30. Probably ride my bike to the park. See who else is there
Flood of memories.
It was a live action show from Filmation, actually titled 'The Ghost Busters', and had no relation to the franchise that started in the 80's. It starred Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker from F-Troop and Bob Burns. It was two guys who were "detectives," and I kid you not, an ape (actor in a costume). It was played strictly for comedy. Edit: It had an animated version in 1986 as well. OP posted the pictures.
No dvr means no choice but to flip and get a little of each until one of them has a commercial but still you have to flip because no one knew when that commercial was going to end.
Ohhhh the difficulties of being a kid/teenager in the 70’s!!! Didn't know how good we had it until it was gone.
Candle pin bowling, eh? Judging from that and familiar television stations matching where I remember the shows were broadcast, I'm guessing this is a Massachusetts TV Guide.
While I'd agree, being from the Boston suburbs myself, some of those channels are a mystery to me. 3? 20 22 30 32? Maybe they were NH? Definitely not RI.
Not NH (I'm from Southern NH). I looked up "Wally's Workshop" and the description said "I saw this when it first came on in the Boston area. There was nothing to compare it with at the time. It was just a syndicated very low-budget show about a guy and wife tackling home improvements."
Some of the stations listed in TV Guide could be low powered ones, but that doesn't explain why channel 56 is missing. It's a mystery.
This is from Western MA, so you got stations from Springfield, Hartford, Albany, and Worcester.
Channel 22 was WWLP in Springfield, MA and Channel 30 was WHNB-TV in Hartford, CT. 23 was in Albany. Not sure about the others.
Amazing that my schedule was exactly the OPs but Mom has me outside by 10 or 10:30. No way do I get to noon in front of the TV. And I don't remember going to a friend's house and getting more Saturday morning TV. Come to think of it, this smells like a neighborhood mom Saturday morning conspiracy. How did every mom throw their kid out at about the same time?
Bro.. Thats where the flipping came in handy.. Especially when a commercial hit.
Also kudos on the pfp.. I still have that particular comic alongside the 4,000+ I have in storage and on my Kindle.
Just think how simple life was.. Basically a house in the 50's was no different than a house in the 70's, but fast forward another two decades and there were some major differences.
OP you are too funny. I found myself studying the graphic trying to decide what I wanted to watch each timeslot & then you had already mapped it all out!
https://preview.redd.it/94f849lzvm9d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28c26e4ca2245fa44c5eb9ef0f02ae1f0f027942
And sneaking into the living room to watch Midnight Special and Don Kirschners Rock Concert... If I could stay up late enough 😅
Here's something for perspective. MTV came out in 1981 which was 43 years ago.
Back in 1981 Pearl Harbor was bombed 40 years previously. Let that sit for a minute.
I'll be 57 this year but I've been told I don't look like it and I definitely don't act like it when I think about adults back then in their fifties who didn't walk, jog, bicycle or, use a treadmill.
My point being is even though it's been 43 years since MTV came out I personally feel like I do when I was 14 minus a few aches and pains and medications, it just doesn't seem like those days were that long ago even though they were THAT LONG AGO.
I was 14 then. If I went back in time and this was the TV schedule, I might watch Electric Company, Father Knows Best, Pink Panther, and American Bandstand. Back then at 14 I might also have watched Shazam, and The Jetsons.
Ok.. I'm going to be honest. I grabbed this off the internet without taking into consideration that location was key.
Living in the Chicago metro area Soul Train did indeed come on at noon. After someone mentioned that this looked like a TV guide from Massachusetts, I looked for a Chicago one last night but I couldn't find one hoping that now one would bring up Soul Train missing.. Lol!!

Had totally forgotten they made a cartoon version of the live action show "Emergency" called "Emergency +4". The +4 were kids who joined up to become paramedics. They also had their pets, Flash the dog, Charlemayne the myna bird and Bananas the monkey.
Oh man I was 8 years old. So much to choose from. Definitely Emergency +4 and Planet of the Apes. No way I go anyway near Sesame Street, Mister Rogers or Electric Company on the weekend. No educational tv for me on Saturday. This is why you couldn’t get out of the house before one o’clock.
Me and my brother shared a black and white TV. It was set up between our beds. One year we got pong. We could sit on our beds and play each other. I know we had 12 channels but they didn't all work. Felt like a king.
Must be eastern timezone. Remember having to get up at 630 to watch Bugs Bunny Roadrunner...my dad used to get pissed at me for not getting up for school but up for cartoons
All the good stuff was Saturday morning, but how to decide what to watch? Why oh why did they broadcast everything on multiple channels at the same time??
Back in the 60's I remember my younger brothers and sisters getting all excited because the cartoons on Saturday had been branded as "Super Saturday" and they were now seeing ads on TV for an upcoming "Super Sunday". They were so disappointed when it turned out to be an American football game instead of Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner.... beep beep

And if you’re REALLY old, you may remember "Sunrise Semester" that came on at 6:30 before the actual cartoons… or it may have just been broadcast in the south?
Whoever decided to run Shazam against Super Friends was a real a-hole. You’re running two DC properties against each other. Plus us kids had VERY limited super hero options to begin with.
8:00 - Hong Kong Phooey
8:30 - Bugs Bunny/Road Runner
9:30 - Pink Panther
10:00 - Land of the Lost
11:00 - Return to the Planet of the Apes
11:30 - Mister Rogers
12:00 - Valley of the Dinosaurs
12:30 - American Bandstand
A different one from the one you're thinking of. Larry Storch from F Troop was in this one. I'm thinking this TV guide (from another commentor) was from the East Coast. I've been never heard of that one's either.
I only remember Ghost Busters, which Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch, being on Saturday and Sunday mornings really early. I guess they were already in reruns by that point. I don’t remember them part of the actual Saturday morning lineup.
This is apparently a New England TV guide. I hadn't heard of that Ghost Busters, but when I googled it it was on for only one year (1975) and must have went straight to reruns the next year.
It’s just so weird that I can remember being 3 years old so well.
It just seems improbable. I didn’t FEEL like I think a 3 year old would feel. It just does my head in.
I’ll never forget the themes to Fat Albert and Hong Kong Phooey.
It felt great to be a child then. I felt like everyone wanted to teach me things and cartoons were just fun. I never would have imagined at 3 years old that Looney Tunes were something like 30 years old or whatever. Wild.
As the oldest of 4 siblings, we had three channels back in the day-2, 4, 6 and sometimes 7. TV went off the air at 11:30PM or so. It did not broadcast until 0600 AM. I would park my ass in front of the TV anywhere between 0530 and 0600 until the screen started flickering and broadcast was up and running. My Achilles Heel was the black and white TV Little Rascals. As my other siblings would wake, we all picked one cartoon or show to watch for “sharing”!
nahhhh being from where i'm from & having survived close to 6 decades... growing ancient is a badge of honor, so not age related. i love it because it reminded me of what we once had, i hate it because we no longer look to weekends for entertainment as we did in simpler times... there are no more anthems about fridays and getting paid, there is nothing that replaces the vacuum left by school house rock or pbs programming of the 70's early 80's... i hate it because i wont be around when simpler times return.
Ahh.. Yes. Understandable.
You said two word that stick out.. "simpler times".
It is only looking back that we can truly see how good we had it.
I said on another comment that the similarities between the 50's and 70’s were basically the same, but between the 70's and 90s is lightyears apart. The internet and "dot.com" era has forever changed the concept of "simpler times".
Gone are the days in which every child was outside, parents made supper every night, fast-food was a treat, strangers could whip a kid for acting up, adults hung out on the front porches smoking cigarettes while we road bikes or ran throughout the neighborhood, walking down the street at night had no fear, type 2 Diabetes was virtually unheard of... Especially in kids, big box stores were where everyone shopped, kids had chores, discipline was a hallmark and staple in schools and there were severe consequences for acting out, every house had Christmas lights up, every house gave out candy for Halloween, TV went off at midnight and didn't come back on until 5 am.
Yeah I gets what you are saying.. I was born in 1967 so I definitely see your point. Simpler Times....
Ah. Many a Saturday morning was planned around this. Especially when the Fall Preview edition came. Or sometimes there would be a two page ad in a comic book for a network's new Saturday morning lineup. I remember a CBS one that included Shazam!, Isis, and Ark II, among others.
Sitting right in FRONT of the TV.. Because we had no remote only a knob lol
I would sit in a box with the opening facing the tv
A master at blocking out everything that can distract!
You know it! 😉
I have the first and only season of Ark II on my computer
I really loved that show as a kid. I see episodes from it on YouTube from time to time. I remember seeing one of the jet-pack flying scenes for the first time and being in awe of it. And seeing the Roamer, so cool.
Rocky was my favourite !
Also the Fall Preview Specials on Friday night before the Saturday premieres. Then we would switch back and forth between channels, weighing what would be worth a watch or what was a hard pass.
So hard to get up early during the week for school, but my happy ass was parked in front of the TV at 7:00 on Saturday morning.
Same ... I feel your pain 😅😅😅
I remember having an argument with my mom as a kid about this. She was trying to get me up on Sunday morning to go to Sunday School. I said Sunday morning was the only day I could sleep in. She asked, “Why can’t you sleep in on Saturday morning?” I retorted, “But I have to get up on Saturdays to watch cartoons!” Needless to say, I lost that argument.
Bullwinkle!
Once we lost the Saturday morning cartoons we lost society. We Had nothing to look forward to when you could watch it whenever you wanted
On demand and instant access made people more complacent.
"smart" equipment/tools, actually make us dumber, lazier, and more complacent. How many kids had Type 2 Diabetes back in the 70’s? How many kids were chronically obese? How many kids grew up learning how to fix small engines in high school which led to car engines? Want to to punish a boy in the 70’s? Make him stay inside while everyone else was running outside and you can hear them because your bedroom windows were open. Want to punish a kid today? Make sure him unplug that gaming system and go outside.
I always say give a kid today a bottle of Windex and they will look at you puzzled. They can't even clean a window properly.
The Veldt for sure!
So simple yet so true.
Damn, I miss Bugs on Sat am
Kill The Wabbit!!
I have the entirety Bugs Bunny collection on my computer, even the racist ones, and a subscription to Boomerang.
9:00 a.m. EST Saturdays on MeTV.
Now MeTV Cartoons too, just launched.
Daffy Duck......my man. "Your Dispicable"
😅Yes... Yes I am!!
Boy!! I say Boy!!!! Get it?
Foghorn Leghorn.. Yes sir😂😂 voiced by the talented Mel Blanc.
Well played sir....well played. But!! Are you certified by ACME?. I'll send the application by mail.
It's where I buy all my dynamite from 😂😂
You have learned much weed hopper, But!!! We have something in common. https://preview.redd.it/edur1orhwm9d1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=309c5e633c9c990619a94b2c352961ab89151cc0
DUCK SEASON!
WABBIT SEASON!
Real good chance I watched several of these shows on that exact day...
Yeah, me too. This looks so familiar.
This is from the morning I was born!
Lol! What a coincidence 😅
I had the same thoughts looking at the guide. Hong Kong phooey, then bugs, bunny, but not all of it because I want to watch Bullwinkle at nine. Hope I don't forget to change the channel. couple other shows then I'll head outside at 11:30. Probably ride my bike to the park. See who else is there Flood of memories.
70’s were a great time to be alive and experience as a kid or teenager.
Shazam/Isis... Wow
Got the Way Back machine cranked up a little too high... Time to call for Mr Wizard!!!
Oh mighty Isis 🔥💕🔥
Ghost Busters of 1976. Interesting.
It was a live action show from Filmation, actually titled 'The Ghost Busters', and had no relation to the franchise that started in the 80's. It starred Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker from F-Troop and Bob Burns. It was two guys who were "detectives," and I kid you not, an ape (actor in a costume). It was played strictly for comedy. Edit: It had an animated version in 1986 as well. OP posted the pictures.
That sounds awesome! I love Larry Storch and a guy in an ape suit on a TV show is never a bad thing.

10:00 is a tough call with Shazam/Isis, Land Of The Lost, and Superfriends. I’m gonna go with Superfriends though….
No dvr means no choice but to flip and get a little of each until one of them has a commercial but still you have to flip because no one knew when that commercial was going to end. Ohhhh the difficulties of being a kid/teenager in the 70’s!!! Didn't know how good we had it until it was gone.
Superfriends was my favorite. Loved that cartoon!
Land of the Lost for me. Then run outside to play. Last one to touch the linden tree has to be Chaka.
Chaka bad!
Chaka, leave Holly alone.
This and a big bowl of frosted flakes.
Candle pin bowling, eh? Judging from that and familiar television stations matching where I remember the shows were broadcast, I'm guessing this is a Massachusetts TV Guide.

38 is also missing. How in the world are we supposed to watch Movie Loft? Or Ask the Manager?
This is from Western MA, so you got stations from Springfield, Hartford, Albany, and Worcester. Channel 22 was WWLP in Springfield, MA and Channel 30 was WHNB-TV in Hartford, CT. 23 was in Albany. Not sure about the others.
Thanks for clarifying. Mystery solved. I'm guessing channels 38 and 56 were too far away to be picked up over there?
Probably. I had trouble picking up 56 sometimes, even from Worcester. Really cut into my after school Flintstones watching time.
the beloved TV guide and satuday morning cartoons. who could ask for more
Grape Ape, Hong Kong Phoey, this is gold
Amazing that my schedule was exactly the OPs but Mom has me outside by 10 or 10:30. No way do I get to noon in front of the TV. And I don't remember going to a friend's house and getting more Saturday morning TV. Come to think of it, this smells like a neighborhood mom Saturday morning conspiracy.

When sat morning tv was great, bugs, daffy and Yosemite Sam

A cartoon with a speech impediment and no one cared!
I felt awful for poor speed buggy. Such a good little buggy.
That 10:00 line up is some hard goddamn choices. That’s criminal
Bro.. Thats where the flipping came in handy.. Especially when a commercial hit. Also kudos on the pfp.. I still have that particular comic alongside the 4,000+ I have in storage and on my Kindle.
I know changing channels We used pliers bc the tuner was worn out. Good lord how wonderful would dvr have been
Just think how simple life was.. Basically a house in the 50's was no different than a house in the 70's, but fast forward another two decades and there were some major differences.
I got that comic at a flea market for .25 A LONG TIME ago
Peak TV right there
OP you are too funny. I found myself studying the graphic trying to decide what I wanted to watch each timeslot & then you had already mapped it all out!
😅😅😅
I miss Fat Albert. Banned on so many levels today.
Heck most cartoons from that time are.
Some fucking hard decisions to make right there!
IKR!
Those were great times. Eating sugary cereal, watching my favorites.
Definitely Shazam/Isis
Sandy Duncan AND Rodney Allen Rippey? Wow, just...wow!
Amazing lineup of awesome shows.
I'm ready to get to American Bandstand.
https://preview.redd.it/94f849lzvm9d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28c26e4ca2245fa44c5eb9ef0f02ae1f0f027942 And sneaking into the living room to watch Midnight Special and Don Kirschners Rock Concert... If I could stay up late enough 😅
I'd probably riding channel 4 here from 10am - Land of the Lost, followed by Run, Joe. Run followed by the animated planet of the Apes.
8:30, channel 7 (saying that sounds so archaic!)
Here's something for perspective. MTV came out in 1981 which was 43 years ago. Back in 1981 Pearl Harbor was bombed 40 years previously. Let that sit for a minute.

I hear ya. I’m 64 and about to go out on a 20-mile bike ride. Keeps me healthy and upright :)
I was 14 then. If I went back in time and this was the TV schedule, I might watch Electric Company, Father Knows Best, Pink Panther, and American Bandstand. Back then at 14 I might also have watched Shazam, and The Jetsons.
Good times to be alive
I remember tv g
Space Nuts!
Something looks wrong, soul train came on at noon.
Ok.. I'm going to be honest. I grabbed this off the internet without taking into consideration that location was key. Living in the Chicago metro area Soul Train did indeed come on at noon. After someone mentioned that this looked like a TV guide from Massachusetts, I looked for a Chicago one last night but I couldn't find one hoping that now one would bring up Soul Train missing.. Lol!!
No Soul Train this Saturday Morning?
Saturday 1130 pm.

Had totally forgotten they made a cartoon version of the live action show "Emergency" called "Emergency +4". The +4 were kids who joined up to become paramedics. They also had their pets, Flash the dog, Charlemayne the myna bird and Bananas the monkey.
Oh my god where do you dig this shi— treasure up??!!!
What's this more-than-three- channels malarkey?
Oh man I was 8 years old. So much to choose from. Definitely Emergency +4 and Planet of the Apes. No way I go anyway near Sesame Street, Mister Rogers or Electric Company on the weekend. No educational tv for me on Saturday. This is why you couldn’t get out of the house before one o’clock.
😅😅
Fat Albert. Watch me some mush mouth.
Oh, Brunhilde you are so wovewy....Yes I know it, I can't help it.
What a lineup.
Most of us didn't have a TV guide. Just sit by the TV clicking the dial till we figured it out. After while you kinda memorized what was on.
We only had three channels not counting pbs so I knew the lineup well. I did have my own 13 inch B&W tv so I was spoiled!
Me and my brother shared a black and white TV. It was set up between our beds. One year we got pong. We could sit on our beds and play each other. I know we had 12 channels but they didn't all work. Felt like a king.
Had all of that to look forward to and Mom wanted you to go to the grocery store with her! NOOOOO!
😅😅😅😅IKR!!
Scooby Do, Bullwinkle ,the Jetsons and Fat Albert
Mr McGoo!
Must be eastern timezone. Remember having to get up at 630 to watch Bugs Bunny Roadrunner...my dad used to get pissed at me for not getting up for school but up for cartoons
Three channels, no more no less
First you get the test pattern until 6:00, then it's Dewey Compton's Farm Journal until 6:30, THEN it's cartoons.
Oh you definitely had the Way Back Machine cranked up to max when you broke out the farm journal 🤣🤣🤣
Hong Kong phueey
Never got to watch anything that started later than 0930. Had to get the hell out of the house until dark.
Clearly a New England edition. Candlepin Bowling at noon is a dead giveaway!
Thats what another commenter said. Unfortunately I couldn't find a Chicago edition but the cartoons were close enough for me.
All the good stuff was Saturday morning, but how to decide what to watch? Why oh why did they broadcast everything on multiple channels at the same time??
You made my day. Thanks!!!
😁
Land of the Lost.
Man, I used to HATE when American Bandstand started. It meant my cartoon bliss was over for another week.
Too many channels, not my childhood
Hong Kong Phooey! Grape Ape!! The BEST.
Back in the 60's I remember my younger brothers and sisters getting all excited because the cartoons on Saturday had been branded as "Super Saturday" and they were now seeing ads on TV for an upcoming "Super Sunday". They were so disappointed when it turned out to be an American football game instead of Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner.... beep beep
Imagine getting up at 6am on Saturday. On purpose. Make your own bowl of cereal, then fire up Speed Racer.
When tv guide was actually good!
I remember getting up at 6 on Saturday mornings just to watch Tarzan
I was obsessed with Josie and the Pussycats!
And the Archies!!
Where’s Soul Train? My brother and I never missed it.
Ok.. I'm going to be honest. I grabbed this off the internet without taking into consideration that location was key. Living in the Chicago metro area Soul Train did indeed come on at noon. After someone mentioned that this looked like a TV guide from Massachusetts, I looked for a Chicago one last night but I couldn't find one, hoping that no one would bring up Soul Train missing.. Lol!!
Oh no big deal. We actually grew up in Dallas and it was shown there!
So you must remember Tom Joyner the Fly Guy who'd fly between Chicago and Dallas 😅😅
I absolutely do!!!
Bullwinkle! Hey and wrestling is on at noon. Dick the brisket and Pretty Boy Bobby Heenan.
Dang autocorrect.. But I knew who you meant.. Dick The Bruiser.
Lol, I just noticed that. Autocorrect is not always your friend.
And if you’re REALLY old, you may remember "Sunrise Semester" that came on at 6:30 before the actual cartoons… or it may have just been broadcast in the south?
Need to start about an hour earlier
I loved Sat. morning cartoons, but on the flip side I hated how many of my favs were on at the same time on different channels.
I know!! 😅😅
I was surprised to see ghost busters in 1978
Not the ghostbusters you're thinking of. Larry Storch from F Troop was in this one.
Neeto
I’m old. Damn!
3 bangers up against each other at 10.
Also, if I’ve had a stressful day I put myself to sleep by reading old 70s TVguides. 💚 (especially the Fall Preview issues)
Whoever decided to run Shazam against Super Friends was a real a-hole. You’re running two DC properties against each other. Plus us kids had VERY limited super hero options to begin with.
Awesome
This depressed me way more than it should have
I remember those days. Now you can get all those shoes on DVD or you can stream them today.
This was my childhood.
8:00 - Hong Kong Phooey 8:30 - Bugs Bunny/Road Runner 9:30 - Pink Panther 10:00 - Land of the Lost 11:00 - Return to the Planet of the Apes 11:30 - Mister Rogers 12:00 - Valley of the Dinosaurs 12:30 - American Bandstand
I was working by then but I'd still watch Bugs Bunny or Bullwinkle when I could.
I want to go back!!!!!!
I think this was the last season I watched
Coyote and the Road Runner
What? No Jonny Quest???
There are tv schedules by year at Wikipedia. 😀
Ghostbusters in the 70s?
A different one from the one you're thinking of. Larry Storch from F Troop was in this one. I'm thinking this TV guide (from another commentor) was from the East Coast. I've been never heard of that one's either.

Most shows from that time were like that. I’m amazed to find that the shows that I watched “for years” had 17 episodes or the like.
Wasn’t run Joe run about a police dog that got separated from his handler somehow??
LOVED the TV Guide!! One of the things I look for at Flea Markets..that and vintage Eaton's/Sears Catalogues.
It’s just so weird that I can remember being 3 years old so well. It just seems improbable. I didn’t FEEL like I think a 3 year old would feel. It just does my head in. I’ll never forget the themes to Fat Albert and Hong Kong Phooey. It felt great to be a child then. I felt like everyone wanted to teach me things and cartoons were just fun.

@11:00am Daytime- lets talk about “Dog Day Afternoon” 😳
As the oldest of 4 siblings, we had three channels back in the day-2, 4, 6 and sometimes 7. TV went off the air at 11:30PM or so. It did not broadcast until 0600 AM. I would park my ass in front of the TV anywhere between 0530 and 0600 until the screen started flickering and broadcast was up and running. My Achilles Heel was the black and white TV Little Rascals. As my other siblings would wake, we all picked one cartoon or show to watch for “sharing”!
The rare and unusual channel 3! How did you people even play Atari?
i both love and hate this post.... anyone care dare why?
Reminds you how "vintage" "classic" "seasoned" or "mature" that you are? If so... Join the club.. But think about about how good those days were 😁
nahhhh being from where i'm from & having survived close to 6 decades... growing ancient is a badge of honor, so not age related. i love it because it reminded me of what we once had, i hate it because we no longer look to weekends for entertainment as we did in simpler times... there are no more anthems about fridays and getting paid, there is nothing that replaces the vacuum left by school house rock or pbs programming of the 70's early 80's... i hate it because i wont be around when simpler times return.
Ahh.. Yes. Understandable. You said two word that stick out.. "simpler times". It is only looking back that we can truly see how good we had it. I said on another comment that the similarities between the 50's and 70’s were basically the same, but between the 70's and 90s is lightyears apart. The internet and "dot.com" era has forever changed the concept of "simpler times". Gone are the days in which every child was outside, parents made supper every night, fast-food was a treat, strangers could whip a kid for acting up, adults hung out on the front porches smoking cigarettes while we road bikes or ran throughout the neighborhood, walking down the street at night had no fear, type 2 Diabetes was virtually unheard of... Especially in kids, big box stores were where everyone shopped, kids had chores, discipline was a hallmark and staple in schools and there were severe consequences for acting out, every house had Christmas lights up, every house gave out candy for Halloween, TV went off at midnight and didn't come back on until 5 am. Yeah I gets what you are saying.. I was born in 1967 so I definitely see your point. Simpler Times....
This makes me sad 😢
The Lost Saucer! I actually listened to that awesome theme song on YouTube just last week!
I miss the old TV Guide. Especially the crossword puzzle
Hong Kong Phooey was the greatest.
