The High Chapparal (ok, it began in 67, but I recall watching it in the 70s)
BJ and the Bear
The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo
I remember staying up late on Saturday nights and watching so many great (and corny!) horror movies on Creature Features with Bob Wilkins :)

Oh, I agree, the theme songs back then were much better!
 Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale....
Here's the story of a lovely lady....
C'mon get happy.....
.....I'm living on the air in Cincinnati....
.....Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back....
Even if I didn't like the shows, I usually liked the theme song.
Now that was good stuff!

BTW, Clint Holmes is a staple in Vegas, and he does put on a very good show. Here's a sample:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2anpvvKyg0&NR=1
Vegas eh? I read an article about how Playground In My Mind became a hit. The follow-up to that song and the flip-side to "memory lane" version of the 45 featured a song called "'Shiddle-ee-Dee" which was a favorite in my family while growing up also.
Other things that I remember about the seventies, these games:
Rock em Sock 'Em Robots!
Don't Break The Ice!
Cootie!
Also, TV shows:
BJ & The Bear!
Mork and Mindy
Welcome Back Kotter!

We always knew when one of those yearly specials was coming on TV because my mom would buy Jiffy Pop!

And while we are at it, here is a great performance by Debby Boone with the #1 song of the seventies You Light Up My Life.

I loved the idea of Jiffy Pop. But the only time I ever used it, the pan caught on fire. 
edit:
That may be one reason I don't use microwave popcorn very often. I still cook my popcorn in a pan on top of the stove. Some of my kids' friends are freaked out when they see me cooking it.

I laughed when the pan caught on fire, and my mother about had a cow. We never bought it again, so I just never got in the habit of even thinking about it.
BTW, my favorite popcorn is black jewel -- I just can't buy it where I live. 
back to topic.

My mom always cooked popcorn on the stove. I couldn't get her to buy Jiffy Pop even though I tried. She didn't seem to think it was worth the extra cost, even though it looked very cool to me.

-Cheech & Chong (movies & albums)
My dad loved Cheech and Chong! My mom would not let him listen to the albums when we were around. My dad swears that my younger brother could hear those albums from a mile away! Everytime my dad would try to put them on, my brother would come racing in the house in hopes of a chance to get to listen.
I think all of us had every scene and every line of Smokey and the Bandit memorized.

My dad had a cobalt blue leisure suit. My mother always made sure he only wore it when she wasn't going to be with him. LOL!!!!
Oh, and he had a pair of white patent leather loafers. Thank heaven he never wore them with the leisure suit. ROFLOL!
My country cousins were the ones wearing the white shoes with matching white belts.
Good grits-n-gravy but they was tacky....
