I was 10 years old building a fort in the woods behind my house, grew up in very rural Louisiana, nothing beats growing up in the country, no video games, no internet, had over 60 acres and nothing but my imagination
It's funny I grew up in a big City Philadelphia neighborhood called Kensington where Rocky was filmed. I wish feel bad for the kids having to grow up in the country. You couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I walk to school I walk the playgrounds to the corner store to the candy store to the arcades up the Avenue. Out in the country you're trapped tell a grown-up with the car wants to let you do something
Born in 1959. Watched 1967 through 1977 back to back to back, and it truly was like my life flsahed before my eyes... only better... I'm not dead... heh heh heh.. tnx j
I was born 1st day of 1958 so I was 13, was stuck to t.v. like glue. Unlike today I don't even have a t.v. My choice of entertainment is picking what I want to watch on UA-cam. Like these shows of old. No I am not living in the pass but remember how much kinder and gently this world use to be as far as entertainment go. Miss those day
Wow! What a great year! Graduated High School in 1971. Fell in love with my High School sweetheart. We got married in 1975 and were together for 30 years before I lost her. I turned 18 and enlisted in the Army, and then made it a career. Lots of wonderful memories started in 1971.
During my worst days, I find myself coming to your channel and remembering what it was like in the days without worry. My happier younger days. Thank you so much. Please keep making these and add as much as you can to the years of the 1970's. I could watch for hours!
In June of 1971, I would graduate from high school. That fall, I would start college. I remember the movies and the shows. Good times until Brian ' s Song, cried for 45 of the 90 mins.
Yet another masterpeice! You don't simply show high-lights (I've noticed) But actually give a feel for the period. This time represented some of my earliest memories... and you brought them back with crystal clarity again! (Thank you again!) & YES, that Carlin line about how 'IF you won't kill 'em... we won't let you beat 'em up!' is one of the greatest observations on American CIvilization! EVER!
That Ali-Frazier fight was HUGE. Everybody was talking about that fight in 1971. Even my old biddy English teacher brought it up in class. 1971 for a great year for me. I was 13 and had two paper routes. I was making about $200 a month which was a lot of money for a kid in those days. My dad used to borrow money from me. lol
the world seemed so magical back then when i was a kid. this was my introduction into the world, i watched all those tv shows. and mostly i was fascinated. i was about six years old or so...but so many images of those times, and tv, make the images of my reality, in my mind...and the images are all there.
There were a lot of classic movies of the week. And not just ABC. Bad Ronald, Trilogy of Terror, The Norliss Tapes, Horror At 37,000 Feet. Too many to list here. Thanks for watching :)
yvette mendia I remember the night it was shown on ABC TV the local station, WREX Rockford, had an unscheduled off the air moment at the end of the movie. They got lots of calls from irate viewers, so the station preempted the 10 pm news to show the end of the movie.
I seem to remember X rated movies were around then- I wouldn't call that wholesome. Plus, A Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs, and The French Connection came out in 1971. Many things come to mind about the early 1970s but wholesome and clean isn't one of them. I was 9 years old in '71, by the way.
71 was a wonderful year, every fall I go back there remembering walking my dogs every night when I came home from work, they would be waiting in the window for me, something in the air that year
Not even thinking about entering this world. 😂 My twin brother and sister were born in this year. ❤ I love how well put together these videos are. You're awesome Johnny! 🙌❤
Duel! Stephen Spielberg's first movie and written by Richard Matheson(?), I loved this movie when I was a little girl. Now my sons and I watch it at least once a year.
The ABC movie of the week ha some real gems in the 70's for sure... Trilogy of Terror, Bad Ronald, Killdozer, Crowhaven Farm and my personal fav, Outrage (1973 )
Ah! Williard...! I wanted to see that movie SO bad when I was a child! Instead my parents took me to Willie Wonka, more age appropriate...RIP Gene Wilder.
Being a NYC’er, I remember the Frazier/Ali fight at Madison Square Garden in ‘71! Cannon, Marcus Welby MD, Medical Center, All in the Family...remember them all! If I live to be 500, I’ll never forget that CocaCola jingle you closed with! Your channel never ceases to bring on a big smile! Please keep up the great work 👍👌😎✌🏻
Thanks Roberto.... I was 8 when "The Fight" took place. I didn't know much about boxing, but I remember hysteria that surrounded it... it was amazing :)
i just discovered these,,,,i love them,thanks for posting,,total trip back in time to my childhood,,,such a refreshing change from all that is going on in todays world and all the crap on youtube,,,,,
I also graduated in 71, and it was a great year for me. I had no money and no idea for the future, but it eventually worked out pretty well for me. With no money, I don't associate these movies with 1971; I didn't see them until years later. To me, it was TV and music, not including the free and easy days hanging with friends and chasing girls.
@M M Yes! Cassidy a true "idol" of the day, AND, he could sing!!! I don't know "WTH" the young girls today have for 'idols'!! Most are ugly and sure can't sing!! 😜
Johnnyboy, I am watching all your postings, and you have done a fabulous job! I'm almost sixty, and was right in the middle of all this. I saw some postings complaining "where is this or that? Don't pay attention as there are always negative people who don't accomplish anything yet complain about others. You took your time and effort to complete these videos and did an awesome job! You should be proud. Thanks again for all these memories, and keep it up!
Started Senior year and was preparing to take my Senior Class trip to sunny Southeast Asia, courtesy of Mother Green, the Killin' Machine, 'til death do us part...did a Lot of acid that year and loved every minute of it. Not getting killed in Vietnam ruined my life's plan...
Once again, you did your usual great job. You brought back so many memories of my sophomore and junior years in high school, happy and sad. "Duel" was a great TV movie, but it played over the weekend my grandfather passed away. Hard to separate the 2, but that's life.
Maybe it started on a different year, but there was a show at night that had McCloud, Mcmillan and wife, and Columbo. The beginning of that show haunts me to this day. Love your videos. Thanks for posting.
I remember "Medical Center ", "Marcus Welby MD ", the Coca Cola commercial where the kids sang "I'd like to teach the world to sing " which actually was a hit single on the charts, & of course, the Indian with the tear in his eye, he was actually an American Indian actor who appeared on shows like "The Lone Ranger ".
I was born in 71....I remember watching a lot of those shows......Hey who remembers creature double feature......on channel 56 with uncle Dale Dorman...
i remember the late half of 1969...i had just turned 14...and an awful thing happened to me...i was starving...i was underweight..i weighed 78 damn pounds..could not get free lunch because my mom kept forgetting to sign the #!!@ papers..one day i had a seizure in front of my classmates at school..they laughed at me..but someone took me to the school nurse..she looked at my pitiful bony body..and said she would have to call welfare on my mom...i begged her not to..i was so young and if you lose one parent you dont want to lose another...a doctor had told me the seizure had been because of extreme hunger..there was usually no food at home..my younger siblings had friends and head start program...me..i was on my own..they had to put an iv fluid in me...i didnt want to go back to school..from that point on kids at school made fun of me..they didnt understand..they thought my seizure was some kind of mental attack..even when they were told ot wasn't..maybe i wasnt liked anyway..but i had to get through school enduring ridicule and bullying..then my mom remarried but it didnt help my apetite..i didnt start putting on weight until i was 18..then i went into the military..because i had no brain damage from that seizure..i was normal..i had never seen so much food i could eat in one place in my life..after i completed basic training in the army...i didnt have to starve anymore..i could then buy or eat for free at the army mess hall..what a life. .. .
Vickie Oglesby sorry to hear that I had kids pick on me in high schools I started weight training At my 10 year class reunion it was a whole different picture I had a hot blonde with me I ended up marrying her even hotter sister
I was 14 and in 7th grade. Thanx for posting this! It, and all your other videos, are awesome and really bring back a lot of memories! For this one though, I wish you would have put in something about the Apollo 13 crisis that year (when their spacecraft was crippled en route to the moon, they had to do some "Rube Goldbergs" on it and very nearly didn't make it back to earth)
Hello! and Thank you once again! Every time that I watch one of your videos, it leaves me with a smile on my face, and joy in my heart! The memories that you bring back for me are incredibly happy ones. Thank you for that gift! You have a great talent here, thank you for sharing it with all of us. ~Gina
Remember all of this very well. I and my husband at the time lived in Emeryville, Calif. He was an AC Transit bus driver and I worked in downtown Oakland for H.C. Capwells in the Accounts Payable Dept. My folks were still alive at the time living up in Virginia City, Nevada. Loved the All in The Family, Cannon etc. Life was good back then. Thanks for the memories!
In 1971 while people listened to 8-track tapes, the GPS system you use today was launched into orbit for the military. Imagine what capabilities the government has now that you'll think are amazing in 25 years... and that you'd think are impossible now.
I was in 3rd and 4th grade. Friday nights was Brady Bunch and Partridge Family. I remember my parents would send me to bed at 9:00 because Love American Style was on. 1971 TV...best detective show was "Mannix"
+MusketeerinFlorida My apologies for taking so long to get back to you Musketeer ! And my deepest condolences to you on your loss. Wishing you a Happy Easter. God bless - JB
1971 ??? I was just a Year old !! I didn't know about anything back then !! Lol no i was only a Year old I didn't start watching All in the Family , The Brady Bunch until i was much older, WOW, that was a time of Peace and Innocence. Oh my goodness, I can't believe i missed some of these great Family shows !! Jimmy Stewart is / was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, my hometown.Rest In Peace Jimmy ! I have watched "Duel", and after i saw it i have been petrified of Trucks, parked or not, i walked behind a parked tractor ( Truck ) for the first time, i thought it was going to start up and back over me, lol, i was 37 YO !! Now I'm 48, and still deathly afraid of trucks.
That Coke commercial is still considered the best commercial ever made.
I remember all this stuff so clearly!!!! ☮️💟😊💟
Omg those TV show theme songs bring everything back!!!!!!!
I was 10 years old building a fort in the woods behind my house, grew up in very rural Louisiana, nothing beats growing up in the country, no video games, no internet, had over 60 acres and nothing but my imagination
I agree Otis !!!
Johnnyboy792 👍🏻
I was also 10. Lived in L.A. but moved to mountains that year. I could never return to city life!
It's funny I grew up in a big City Philadelphia neighborhood called Kensington where Rocky was filmed. I wish feel bad for the kids having to grow up in the country. You couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I walk to school I walk the playgrounds to the corner store to the candy store to the arcades up the Avenue. Out in the country you're trapped tell a grown-up with the car wants to let you do something
Disturbed Patient I can SEE how you became DISTURBED.
Rest In Peace to those lost in 1971
Jim Morrison
Pete Duel
Ub Iwerks
Louis Armstrong
Duane Allman
Pier Angeli
Bobby Jones
Van Heflin
Harold Lloyd
I was born in 1971 so I don't remember any of this, but it's interesting to see the world I was born into...
Thanks for watching CEO !!!
Now we are here in 2021 50 years ago.
Born in 1959. Watched 1967 through 1977 back to back to back, and it truly was like my life flsahed before my eyes... only better... I'm not dead... heh heh heh.. tnx j
I was born 1st day of 1958 so I was 13, was stuck to t.v. like glue. Unlike today I don't even have a t.v. My choice of entertainment is picking what I want to watch on UA-cam. Like these shows of old. No I am not living in the pass but remember how much kinder and gently this world use to be as far as entertainment go. Miss those day
Wow! What a great year! Graduated High School in 1971. Fell in love with my High School sweetheart. We got married in 1975 and were together for 30 years before I lost her. I turned 18 and enlisted in the Army, and then made it a career. Lots of wonderful memories started in 1971.

Thank you so much Mike. More coming down the road. All the best :)
graduated high school 1971......great memories
Many thanks :)
pleasure was mine @@Johnnyboy792
In June of 1971, I would graduate from high school. That fall, I would start college. I remember the movies and the shows. Good times until Brian ' s Song, cried for 45 of the 90 mins.
Marcus Welby one of the best shows ever and Mayberry RFD
Very well written for sure !!!
Yet another masterpeice! You don't simply show high-lights (I've noticed) But actually give a feel for the period. This time represented some of my earliest memories... and you brought them back with crystal clarity again! (Thank you again!)
& YES, that Carlin line about how 'IF you won't kill 'em... we won't let you beat 'em up!' is one of the greatest observations on American CIvilization! EVER!
I remember singing the coke song in school. The line buy the world a coke was changed find the world some hope. Music teach was a hippy
Come back 72' !!! :)
My God! I'm gonna watch each and every one of these! They make me feel like a kid again :-)
I'm happy it brought a smile ! Thanks so much !
Loved "Play Misty for Me" & Clint Eastwood; have watched that movie a zillion times over the years! :) NBC Mystery movies were great!
I prefer Dirty Harry or the Bequiled
American Pie by Don McLean 1971, who could forget.
Epic jam
That Ali-Frazier fight was HUGE. Everybody was talking about that fight in 1971. Even my old biddy English teacher brought it up in class. 1971 for a great year for me.

Many thanks for taking the time to step into the time machine :):):) - JB
I remember one particular ABC movie of the week that was a classic! It was called "DUEL", directed by a young Steven Spielberg.
There were a lot of classic movies of the week. And not just ABC. Bad Ronald, Trilogy of Terror, The Norliss Tapes, Horror At 37,000 Feet. Too many to list here. Thanks for watching :)
trilogy of terror. still scary!
Duel was originally published in Playboy Magazine and then made into a movie.
I have it on vhs.love it
yvette mendia I remember the night it was shown on ABC TV the local station, WREX Rockford, had an unscheduled off the air moment at the end of the movie. They got lots of calls from irate viewers, so the station preempted the 10 pm news to show the end of the movie.
At 20 years old I bought my very first car, a '63 Chrysler Newport ,2 door in green metallic for $100.00, push button tranny.
I had a 62 dodge dart in metallic green with push button tranny
***** HAHA...Mine was the '62 Plymouth Belvedere...with a push-button tranny!
my granny had a '62 belvedere with...you guessed it, a push button tranny!
I had a 67 coronet RT with a 440
$100 was considered a lot of money back then, wasn't it, lol?
TV and movies were squeaky-clean and wholesome.
I thought so :)
I seem to remember X rated movies were around then- I wouldn't call that wholesome. Plus, A Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs, and The French Connection came out in 1971. Many things come to mind about the early 1970s but wholesome and clean isn't one of them. I was 9 years old in '71, by the way.
Well done Johnnyboy...excellent video! my summer of 42 was summer of 53...one never forgets the good times...many thanks for the SMILES :))
71 was a wonderful year, every fall I go back there remembering walking my dogs every night when I came home from work, they would be waiting in the window for me, something in the air that year
In 1971 I was 17 years old and in high school 🏫. It was a long time ago and very far away.
+Bill Bergendahl I hope this brought you a little closer Bill :) - JB
Nostalgia is a great turn-to when we are having one of those days. Great Job as always Johnnyboy!
Thank you gjc3535 ! It was a labor of love :)
Not even thinking about entering this world. 😂 My twin brother and sister were born in this year. ❤ I love how well put together these videos are. You're awesome Johnny! 🙌❤
Wow I never knew Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart had tv shows that's awesome I'm gonna look them up here on UA-cam thanks for posting.
Ali still amazes me with his wit and presence, I was too you to fully appreciate it at 7 but I do now, among many other things and people.
Duel! Stephen Spielberg's first movie and written by Richard Matheson(?), I loved this movie when I was a little girl. Now my sons and I watch it at least once a year.

On another note..Barbara Eden!!! Wow she was unbelievably smoking hot!
I was 9.... and even I thought so :)
Those "crazy" commercials? What they have TODAY is crazy..not to mention stupid. Those commercials back then were great.
Kudos John ! Thanks for watching !
Ahhhhhh the 70's so MUCH BETTER than the CRAP today. But then AGAIN ANYTHING is BETTER than the World of today.
I so agree :):):)
1971, the year I completed the Topps baseball set.
Im still trying :)
@@Johnnyboy792 It took me 3 boxes to get a Joe Pepitone.
49 Years later and noone listened! Everyone still squeezing the Charmaine!!!!
Me too :)
I was 5 years old. Did every kind of funny things.
I was too busy being born in August of 1971.
Thanks for the Memories !

It was amusing to hear a disco song as the introductory music. lol
A lot of the stuff you showed was screened in Britain so I could relate to this. Excellent work, Johnny.
To this day, I am still scarred by the impact of Willard! Conversely, I was also impacted by Susan Dey & Maureen McCormick!🐶
Fun watching this. I was 13. Simpler times. Better times?
+MisterLumpkin Kudos M.L. ! The very best of times :) - JB
Once again, you did your usual great job. You brought back so many memories of my sophomore and junior years in high school, happy and sad. "Duel" was a great TV movie, but it played over the weekend my grandfather passed away. Hard to separate the 2, but that's life.
Maybe it started on a different year, but there was a show at night that had McCloud, Mcmillan and wife, and Columbo. The beginning of that show haunts me to this day. Love your videos. Thanks for posting.

Very Interesting ! :)
I like how you include the tv movies from the year. good to see them again, thanks
Thank you for doing these videos !
I remember "Medical Center ", "Marcus Welby MD ", the Coca Cola commercial where the kids sang "I'd like to teach the world to sing " which actually was a hit single on the charts, & of course, the Indian with the tear in his eye, he was actually an American Indian actor who appeared on shows like "The Lone Ranger ".
TEENAGE yrs for this kid. I SO LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. i could "TRIVIA" all day here. awesome. thx
All the best my friend :)
many thanks johnnyboy
I remember!! SO Happy we are all BOOMERS!! What a time to come of age!
I was very young in 71, so I just now can understand a lot of the "Jokes"
Having grew up early 70's is more like living on a different planet today. The world has really changed.

I was 14 and in 7th grade.
Thanx for posting this! It, and all your other videos, are awesome and really bring back a lot of memories! For this one though, I wish you would have put in something about the Apollo 13 crisis that year (when their spacecraft was crippled en route to the moon, they had to do some
"Rube Goldbergs" on it and very nearly didn't make it back to earth)

Paying Hot Wheels on X-Mas Day and listening to X-Mas music from Frank Sinatra on the parents 8-Track
Great episode.
That Fabulous Year I was born!
Remember all of this very well. I and my husband at the time lived in Emeryville, Calif. He was an AC Transit bus driver and I worked in downtown Oakland for H.C. Capwells in the Accounts Payable Dept. My folks were still alive at the time living up in Virginia City, Nevada. Loved the All in The Family, Cannon etc. Life was good back then. Thanks for the memories!

I was ten years old in 1971. Crazy times!
+John Brown That it was JB !!!
Just seeing the light of day! Best year ever!!
In 1971 while people listened to 8-track tapes, the GPS system you use today was launched into orbit for the military. Imagine what capabilities the government has now that you'll think are amazing in 25 years... and that you'd think are impossible now.
I was lucky to have great kids to hang out with. God I miss those days. We were a sarcastic little bunch but we enjoyed life
The best of times for sure for me GK :)
Gosh it was a great year to look back on. Thank you.

1971 ??? I was just a Year old !! I didn't know about anything back then !! Lol no i was only a Year old
I didn't start watching All in the Family , The Brady Bunch until i was much older, WOW, that was a time of Peace and Innocence.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe i missed some of these great Family shows !! Jimmy Stewart is / was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, my hometown.Rest In Peace Jimmy !
I have watched "Duel", and after i saw it i have been petrified of Trucks, parked or not, i walked behind a parked tractor ( Truck ) for the first time, i thought it was going to start up and back over me, lol, i was 37 YO !! Now I'm 48, and still deathly afraid of trucks.
Oh Lord I remember all of these! I wonder what it is about videography in the early 70s that makes everything look brown and orange.
I was 6 years old!!!ha ha I love this so much!!
It's the year 2021, and it's the same calendar as 1971. 50 years
