I experienced neither issue because I was 12 years old, living in a small town in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I lived in a mobile home with no television, either. I remember reading books (especially The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books), listening to record albums on the home hi-fi (especially Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Cosby Stills Nash and Young), and going on hikes with our dog, Heidi. I had no close friends, so I remember having "tea" with imaginary friends when no one was home. I was in the middle of puberty, and realizing that I was gay.

"Olive oil" for "The Godfather" is actually appropriate as that's the business Vito Corleone was in after he came to NY. But, "moonshine?" I don't think Cullen had seen the movie! :D
Considering how I'm often running late or barely on time to things, I can't even imagine what it would have been like in the time of the gas shortage if I really needed some gas (I was born in 1978). I'm sure I would have had to plan my days off well.
Beth Di Bartolomeo I remember waiting in a two hour long gas line. I had to get there at 6am or earlier in order to get near the front so I didn’t have to worry about the gas running out. The upside: I made the Dean’s List because there was nothing to do but study.

Brett's answer to the question "Beethoven's 5th: "Department Store" is absurd, and totally unfair for the contestant who gave a logical answer. This must have been one of the shows recorded "after dinner", when they were known to be drinking a lot.

So many good albums in 1974 - Elton John, David Bowie, Supertramp and ELO. All English I'm afraid. You wouldn't have known about them
This comment went off the rails, huh?
@@MrTonaluv Thankfully *everything* is subjective .... not everyone likes those "artists."
People waiting in line for gas nowadays would take out their phones.
I remember the gas shortages. I was in one line that was over a 1/4 mile long, and it took me about 2 hours to get to the pumps.
1974 was a terrible year for lots of reasons. One could argue that 1972 was the last good year of the 1970s.

Loved this game show and the seventies. We will never see another great time like those, loved seeing the way we dressed in the 70s again.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. television series lasted four seasons, 1964-68.
Yes, good show, couldn't believe nobody chose it
Brett should get a bottle of boos for not saying "a bottle of booze."
Gene was just confirming what everyone should have already known.
Charles must've gotten a hair cut. Looks better than the last episode.
'a new toupee' is the correct terminology
quite possibly the worst toupee Charles ever wore

Yes the year is in the name of the game........74
Brett...come on.....department store.....
Gene caught some rays even on sideburns Rayburns...!
No, Beethoven was _not_ divorced lots of times, Richard! He was, in fact, never married.
He was just setting up his dumb joke answer.
Today everyone would match on the first question, unless the celebs tried to do a joke answer. It would be "take out your phone".
Curious that they didn't have Johnny Olson introduce new contestants as they spun out in that announcer man voice to amp up the excitement a little.
I enjoy this show because back in the day I didn't get the subtle adult humor.

Yes, there is a lot of inconsistency, and a few times it caused them to bring former contestants back in order to be fair to them.
Bottle is usually implied that it's alcohol. Atleast back then.
