At 21:04, I remember back in the day when getting a stereo system was a major deal. My parents bought me a system like the one in this video for a birthday gift! I got to pick it out at the showroom. The sales associate was so happy with the purchase, he let me choose a free casette tape to play in my new stereo! It was a right of passage in those days...I still have that stereo today, with giant speakers and turntable. It all still works. It was all "made in America" and the quality shows.

Even the stereo system I was given as a Christmas gift in 1990 lasted me a good long while. The only thing that stopped it from being usable is that the speaker cords frayed only about ten years ago, otherwise the mechanical parts still work. The VCR my parents bought in 1985 also works even today.

In the 90's, people started to feel that kids playing outside were troublesome. They were either going to be perpetrators of crimes like vandalism, theft, bullying, and noise violations; or they were going to be victims of injury, kidnapping, molestation, or introduced to drugs and poisons. Pressure was put on parents to always have kids at an after-school program, babysat, or locked away in the house with video tapes, cable tv, Nintendo, and Pizza Bagel Bites. If your kid was seen skating on the sidewalk next to their house with no parents or adults around, that was when people began to claim that it was neglectful, or these kids were probably up to no good, etc. Media followed suit with horror stories of kids victimized in one way or another, and many places enacted strict laws that didn't allow kids to exist in places without adults if they were below the age of 14. I even lived in a place around 2006 that threatened to evict parents if their 16-year-old kids were caught again, crossing the street to get candy and sodas from the convenience stores. No lie. This is why the state of Utah recently had to enact a law that allows kids to be "free-roam," without it being a crime, so that kids can return to parks and doing kid things.

It would go out about 3 feet and fall over. These commercials are a great reminder of a better time. People were nicer and more respectful of others.

Every decade has it's good and bad. '70s bad: the economy spiralled downhill from 1973 until about 1982. Cars were generally slow, quickly rusted out, and driveability suffered from early emission controls. We gave up on winning the war in Vietnam AND didn't generally honor our returning servicemen (truly shameful, that last part). Two gas shortages: 1973 and summer of '79. Gas prices tripled. "Stagflation": the economy is stagnant, but there's still double digit inflation. Watergate, then two ineffective Presidents, Ford and Carter. The Cold War. '70s good: everybody seemed less hung up about everything. Easy-listening music, disco, and southern rock music. The Pontiac Trans-AM. Mazda Wankels (when the engine was still right). The BiCentenial (1976) celebrations. Streaking. The summer blockbuster (started with "Jaws"). Short shorts on everybody. No terrorism or mass shootings in the USA. Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show.

That's Jack Jones in the New Yorker commercial before he sang The Love Boat theme and by the way that is Herschel Bernardi doing the voice of Charlie tuna in the starkist commercial

Sounds like Andrew Robinson on the Coke commercial voiceover near the end.

super compilation of these great commercials from 1975 fred! many of these I remember and some I don't. that one with robin Williams and the telephones was great to see because I don't think it was shown in the boston area. love watching all these 70s commercials, really fun to view these again after all these years! thanks rob

Remember, in 1974 the Supreme Court ruled that porn was protected by the First Amendment. T.V. could have gone down the "X" rated road.But they were afraid to offend the majority of the public.

Dear Fred, I was born in the beginning of the 2000s but my parents always spoke fondly of the '70s. As a history nerd myself and lover of '70s music and "culture", it is wonderful to be able to see these beautiful commericals and "go back in time". However, like with all good things, there is a negative part to it in the sense we can sadly never go back to these simpler, happier, and, ultimately, friendlier times. We have willingly put ourselves in this horrendous, lonely, and dark digital age that I see only progressing further and getting worse. Thankfully we can at least see these gems to take ourselves away from the present reality. Thank you for your contribution.

You're welcome, Selene. But just remember it wasn't all peaches and cream back then. The racism and sexism were far worse than today. There weren't as many medical advancements. There was more violent crime because there weren't cameras everywhere. And TV shows were very formulaic. All that said, the '70s WERE better (and the '60s very much better still).

Weird to see Dan Hicks for a moment in the McDonalds ad. I always loved his band.

1975, my second year of high school. The best days of better times. Three people could go out to breakfast for five dollars, smokes were fifty cents a pack, and a four finger lid of decent weed was ten bucks. Oh, and gas was around forty cents. I need a time machine.

Thanks for posting! A time capsule of our lives if we were of a certain age.

Some observations on the products in the commercials: * The Pizza Hut Super Supreme Pizza WAS (definitely not IS) the best pizza restaurant pizza. It was the go-to place for my fiance and me. (Where I grew up there were no New York pizzas which I grant you are darn good.) * My mother would NEVER purchase any dog food including Gravy Train. Our dogs ate stewed chicken and table scraps. Although I constantly asked why, she never would explain. After watching an episode of Mad Man about the heir to a dog food manufacturing plant in the 60's, I think the answer was that my mom thought it was made from 🐎. * Green Giant Le Seuer Peas Combinations were fantastic. I can't find them anywhere anymore and I miss them greatly. * Many young ladies had a bottle of Charlie, but after I used it once, it became a decoration that showed I was a (sort of) member of the modern women's generation. * I will still say, "It's a miracle!". Actually, XEROX machines really are one of the greatest inventions ever. * The Coke Perfect Harmony ad is probably the best ad ever. (With the Coke Santa ads and the polar bear campaign coming in second and third.) Watching it here tonight brought me back to the days when I did have hope that we all could just get along if we tried. Well, it's 43 years later and how's that going? Hmm.... Another video composed with imagination and hard work, Fred!

That's the Big Jim SPORTS camper. I had it too, got it as a present for my 9th birthday. Sure looked a lot better in the TV ads, than it actually did. Did you have many of the sports uniforms? I had the football, soccer, baseball, basketball, track suit, judo, scuba, and my favorite; the ski racer, which I got as a Christmas present. All of them had the number "9"
