Jack Benny died in December of 1974. One of the greatest comedians of the 20th century.

I love watching this series. It weirdly gives me comfort to realize that, as a millennial, so many of the issues that we're facing now were fought in similar fashion 50 years ago. It really gives truth to the statement "history repeats itself" in a strangely satisfying way. Sad, sure, but I feel better knowing we're never alone in what we are facing. Thanks for that.

The one thing from 1974 that I really remember was being locked up in a mental institution for 45 days. The old-school psych chemicals, which do their dirty work in the hippocampus, basically destroyed any other memory of that year. Most of what I know about 1974 comes from reading and from watching documentaries. It took me several years to build back my memory of anything after that.

It was safe to drink water directly from the garden hose, riding in the back of a station wagon, no one wore seat belts, I miss Sambos. Fancy stylish vans with a dark plastic window in the back. Atari when it first came out. I had a big wheel I used to ride for hours around the block. They used to make toy guns that looked like real guns, because there wasn't a bunch of mass shootings back then. Candy and bubble cigarettes. Used to love watching Chips, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Happy Days, Little House On The Prairie, Gilligan's Island reruns, Threes company, Sanford and Son, Etc etc. played outside till the street lights came on than you knew it was time to go inside.

For me they remind me of a much better time! A much safer place, more respectful, more fun, and well if you were a kid like I was, born in 1967, so I grew up in the 70's, it was a incredibly fun time to grow up! I remember biking in the woods on the trails that led to Mud Lake! We had forts built out there. We'd go 🎣fishing🎣, swimming, hiking, exploring, and again biking. I remember the🌐Wide🌎World🌎World🌎of🌎Sports🌎, watching the Harlem Globetrotters, Indy Car🏁🏎Racing🏎🏁, and the best......Evel Knievel! Then we'd go out and build a ramp.(These rarely ended well!) We'd then decide what we'd jump and how many of said items we'd attempt to "soar over". Those old metal round🗑🗑garbage🗑🗑cans were usually the most used item. At the beginning of our "block/road" we had a decent hill which we usually used for 🛹🛹 skateboarding🛹🛹, but it worked as a speed booster for you bike as well. Again these never, or RARELY EVER ended well. Sometimes you'd land on the cans, & bounce off them. OUCH! Or if you were lucky? You'd clear the cans but land awkwardly and bounce across the road. Or the worst-case scenario would be landing either ON THE CANS front wheel first, or past the cans, again front wheel first, and then flip over onto your back and slide into home plate on the gravel. Also remember, the 70's kids never or again RARELY EVER wore ⛑🪖helmets🪖⛑, so kids would go home, many if us crying, bawling our eyes out, as Mom picked the road rash off our backs, arms, HEAD, and legs. We usually wore shorts too! Thankfully no one was ever hurt bad. No hospital runs although I'm sure I got a concussion or three. This may sound silly, crazy, and idiotic, and in some ways, I'll agree it was! However back then we didn't have smartphones attached to our heads like an extra appendage. We didn't have💻laptop👨‍💻👨‍💻computers💻, tablets, or multiple gaming systems, and hundreds of television channels. We had ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, & a couple of local unaffiliated stations. We had two. We played outside, we had to use our own devices for fun. Building forts, creating igloos in the winter time. We'd get together with our buddies and play football, baseball, basketball, or the most fun! HOCKEY! But in most cases we had use our IMAGINATIONS! It was truly an amazing time for me growing up in the 70's! I got to meet the Crusher, AWA All-Star Wrestler. I got to meet almost every Milwaukee Brewers players from 77-83. Times were so different! I really miss them too. Take care everyone and God Bless us all!

That $1.99 restaurant commercial...Chopsteak. That was a generational thing I guess. During culinary school I worked at a butcher shop. Besides the fact that my grandfather could've afforded the better grade and cuts of meat before that I was bringing home really amazing steaks. He'd always make comments about Chopsteak. My father-in-law's ABSOLUTE favorite meal (I've worked at some really quality kitchens with amazing ingredients) is a fried bologna sandwich. It seemed so wild to me. Guys, WHATEVER YOU WANT.... "Chopsteak, let your gma cook it. She knows how I like it", "fried bologna sandwich, Oscar Meyer's on sale. The one in the red casing." lmfao. Took me over 10 yrs to realize that it's not just about the taste and the ingredients. It's the memory and nostalgia. When you grow up poor and things like that are a once a month kind of meal...it becomes the a favorite. Everyone eating it, together, good laughs... Good memories. Meatloaf sandwiches are where it's at for me now. I don't make it (which adds to it after 80 hours a week in the kitchen), I don't ever ask for it. My wife will make it on Monday nights sometimes and being Monday and Tuesday are my weekend. Meatloaf sandwiches on rare occasions I get to sit down and enjoy with my kids are the BEST little surprises. Sorry, I know I went on a rant far off topic.

I agree and I hope Weird History does the 2000s and 2010s to complete the 1970-2020 Timeline Chain

I was in kindergarten in Hollywood,Ca in 1974,and one of my classmates was in an episode of Rockford Files.

I feel like Cher has remained the one solid constant throughout the decades! We already know Cher will feature in the 1960's series! Another great entry, I look forward to reading the personal accounts of where people were in 1974; Here in the comments! xo

Lots of older greats out there but usually still playing their hay day stuff. Very few artists like Cher (maybe Elton John & Billy Joel) have constantly refreshed and stayed relevant for decades.

I was 14 years old in the later half of 1974 and I had to endure the sudden death of my mother from a brain aneurysm. 1974 was not a good year for me

That's because Cher is timeliness lol, she ruled every decade

Happy Days debut. 😀👍

Amazing content, well produced!! Emmy worthy!! Thank u!!

amazing information gathered extremely well presented....really appreciate your reviews brings back great memories years ago thanxs4sharin' !!

I love this series. I'm a double major, one of them being history, so I frequently have long long talks with my mom about what the world was like when she was growing up, the music, the movies, the state of politics, etc. because I'm just so interested in it all, and yet I always end up learning something totally new from these videos! ✨

yeah these offer an amazing perspective into the pop culture and what was influencing everyday people in previous generations, not just what was in History books.

1974 Defined movie and music culture this time! Seems a contrast from all of the 70’s years when it first boomed with ABBA and so many movies.

My parents were both young kids in '74, 5-6 and 7-8 years old, but ABBA has been a constant in our lives :) they're my favourite band

top series! thanks for the great work!!

You did something right when you put the symbolization of 1974, not Richard Nixon but the group ABBA! Good job

Nixon ended the war. He started the seeds of good relations with China and ended our cold war with them. Signed anti ballistic missle treaty with Russia. Without those accomplishments, you might not have been around to post on here. That's more important achievementsthan most ever in his position do. No he was not as likeable and personal as a Jimmy Carter as an example. But nice guys don't always accomplish much.

This series is fantastic, keep up the great work!

Love this channel 👊🏽 I always love learning about things that happened decades ago lol my mom was 4 years old in the year of 1974

I just spit out my wine laughing when the narrator says, "In a story forced upon us by our producer, Neil Peart officially..." Every single Rush fan is that guy!! That was hilarious. I love Weird History but that comment was too awesome. Thank you!!!

Nixon was a boyscout and an amazing president compared to that imbecile 2-bit wannabe dictator Trumpo the clown. Atleast Nixon was good at pretending to actually care about the job and actually pretend if nothing else that he was keeping the country's best interests at heart.

My favorite series on KZread. Thanks. 🙏

That's a good one! Send it to The Arroyo restaurant- maybe they will put it on their sign.

you guys deserve way more views and likes for these videos

Another great trip down memory lane. Loved watching Shazam and Isis. Thank you 😊

loved this walk down history. Thank You.

I truly appreciate these glimpses of the past I lived through...so many Vivid memories for a child to have. Vintage 1963 and living in gleeful wonder at the miracles I've sen

Yay more timeline

Great list! Loved the Rush shade. Great Channel. Thanks

A+ video! LOVE IT! What a year! ---TIMELINE ROCKS---

Hank Aaron hit 715th .😀👍⚾️

This decade is so chocked full of "stuff" it must be tough to pick the ones that appear in TIMELINE. I love every episode. Wish they were longer. Each one goes by so quickly.

Another Great Video. Love watching the 70's cause it was my early childhood and I remember when Good Times premiered and I still watch it to this day.

Thank you Producer, for including some Rush in the video!

Is there any weird history videos made on the 1960's? I'd love to see that decade brokendown! I feel like you really packed a perfect blend of sports, politics, entertainment, music, and pop culture into each episode.
