You know were a 70s kid when: You know any lyric from H.R. Puff n' Stuff Speed Racer was the man ... You knew that walking the dog dealt with yo yos and no dogs were actually involved Legos were the latest rage You ever wanted to have tang You wondered why Luke and Bo Duke didn't get the car door fixed You were grateful that no one every shot Wonder Woman more than twice (one for each gold bracelet) Two words: Lite Brite.

You know you're a 70's kid (well, I was a teen) when nothing phases you. Cause, well, you were pretty much part of the pioneers for most of it. [8D][sm=hippiesmile.gif]

Little House on the Prairie (the T.V. series) started in 1974. I had grown up reading her books and was super exicited about it's television debut.

The 70's Show on TV - as dorky as it is and all that...pretty much says it all for many of us. I know there are people out there that completely disagree but seriously...they are the minority.[;)] The 70's fashions are coming back and they are just as tacky now as they were then. I was not a disco fan at all and completely went the other way when that broke loose. Much of the TV I watched in the 70's was an episode here and there of a cop show my dad watched. I spent most of my time moping around, reading depressing poetry and listening to obscure music. [8D]

Class of '78 here... Let us not forget having only one tv per house Having to get up and walk to the tv to change the channel NO personal computers "breaker one-nine, wintery rider here, got any bears?" No video games until pong and then asteroids on atari showed up a couple years after the seventies I think--so we had actual ping pong and bumper pool comics, walking around town without getting attacked and 32 oz cokes were big early seventies you could find glass coke bottles on the roadside and get 10 cents refund at the grocery store a dollar would get me a can of RC cola, a bag of corn chips or gasp fried pork skins, a couple of comic 3-packs with the covers ripped off and couple of pieces of green apple bubble gum The nostalgia is getting to me....[sm=icon_smile_cry.gif]

Remember when Pac Man was THE thing?!

humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (5/17/2008 9:11:33 PM)
Oh yeah, I remember that, but wasn't Pac-Man more of a 1981 thing instead? You are a child of the 70's if you had a thing for the Brother's Gibb (The Bee Gees) and Andy Gibb as well, not to mention Shaun and Patrick Cassidy, etc.

WhiteRoseBlessings -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (5/17/2008 9:13:30 PM)
I never really got into "teen idols" . . . even when I was a teen, I just didn't get it the concept. [8D] [:D]

humbleinspirit -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (5/17/2008 9:14:20 PM)
You watched the Brady Bunch.

quote: you know you're a 70s kid when You remember JFK being shot, the Moon landing, the Beattles coming to America, listening to Wolfman Jack when he was still broadcasting from Mexico, Elvis dead, record players in cars, Vietnam on the news each night, varity shows on TV (Donnie and Marie, Captain and Tennille), 25 cent gas, the bicentennial (i was at the celebration in baytown texas), color TV introduced, Mark Spitz, going to the store and using the tube tester and buying a needle for your record player. Could go on all day but will stop for now Class of 76 and as I mentioned above, Kate Jackson was the hot one.

[8\|] Absolutely[:D] And then Jonathan Livingston Seagull gave us hope [8\|] There was this little shop that we would go to for blacklight posters and patches - everyone wore patches on their jeans. In fact, the more patches and less "jean" you saw was the coolest. and who could forget Love, American Style.... oh yeah!

DenimDiva -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (5/19/2008 2:03:46 PM)
Since I was born in '65, I'm not really sure if I was a '70s or an '80s kid. Maybe I got the best of both worlds. [:D] How come no one has mentioned Love Boat? I can remember life without cable. Then something called channel 100 came along. Remember calling a business and having a person answer the phone? Remember calling a friend's house and having a person answer the phone? Playing Bionic Woman on the playground?

Judy Blume books.

TomTurn -> RE: you know you're a 70s kid when .... (5/19/2008 3:36:53 PM)
13 channel TV but you only got 3 and most every house hold tuned in when a National Geographic special was on, especially if Cousteau. No VHS or DVD so if you were going to watch something like "Wizard of Oz" or "Charlie Brown Christmas" you had one chance a year. Most people had only am radio in the car, no internet so more than bums hung out in the library. Most businesses closed on Sunday (very true in my area).

And Good Friday.

Radio stations on the FM simply went by whole and half numbers instead, such as Kiss 108 and 98 and a 1/2.

Vietnam POW/MIA bracelets - course, that might be specific to military kids, but I had four bands I wore.
