FUCK! I miss the 1970s!

Dammit, been up all night, and watching random shit on YouTube. So this pops up.

Alright, let's go.... who remembers this stuff? Anything on the list?

I was born in 1967... February.... so I was 2 years old when the first moon landing happened. I remember it, because it was such a big deal in my house. Granted, I don't remember much, but I remember watching that with my family on our ONE colour TV.

I was 3 in 1970, and some of this stuff I saw on repeat via syndication....

As much as I love being a Gen-Xer... I seriously hate how the world has progressed.
Scoobydoo is a classic cartoon. In fact, in my competitive days(all relative) I went by Shaggy, Scooby’s companion. I am not from the 70s though. Man you’re old ?.
Help, my man.... you have NO idea what you missed out on....

Take a few minutes(I promise, these won't take long), and look at these:

Okay, so those were from the same show(from 1970), but these are from a different show, which consisted of several different "sub-shows".... The overall show was called "The Krofft Supershow", but there were different episodic shows contained within. I'm only linking the theme songs to each of those sub-shows, as there really wasn't one(that I can remember) for the overall series.

I will say this: If you ever wonder why early Gen-Xers have the bizarre sense of humour that we do... this MIGHT go towards explaining it... These are (some of) the shows we were exposed to as small children.

There were more.... but I'm having trouble finding JUST the intro themes.

Aside from those, who were all created by the same people... we had these shows... the first one was recently turned into an actual blockbuster movie:

Alright.... that's all I'll link now... my wife is getting restless, and wants my attention. Maybe I'll add more later.... but damn, I honestly miss the 1970s.

Call me nuts if you like, but this stuff is nostalgic as fuck for me.
Made this checklist a while ago

I wonder if it's the same for everyone, that feeling of nostalgia of one's childhood. I was a 90's kid and man do I miss that time. I remember hearing Nirvana for the first time and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I wish I had my teen years in the 90's as opposed to the 2000's. I think the grunge scene would have been my thing. I just couldn't get into rap and hiphop which started to become cool at the turn of the millennium as it eclipsed rock music. Maybe it has more to being a kid at that time if anything than the actual time itself? It was a different world though; a world where the worst thing happening was the president getting blow job from an intern.

In what ways do you not like how the world has progressed? For me, I think it's sad seeing kids on smartphones all the time.
^this x1000
It's hard being 32, remembering what life as like when I spent all day outside with my friends and my parents couldn't care less because it was always safe. Remembering life without phones, just dial up AOL. Life seemed so simple compared to now
It must be nostalgia, because those tv show videos appear to be some sort of child abuse ?!
