Most of my family is dead. But in 1976 I was still a kid by many standards. My grandma died and my grandfather came to live with us. I remember my grandfather had a TV in his bedroom he would get a big salad bowl and pile it to the top with ice cream and carry it to his room and sit back and eat his ice cream while watching Laverne and Sherly. Lord what I wouldn't give to be with my family one more time.

I’m glad Ol’ Blue Eyes stepped out and got them to make up. You never know what the end will be. I was kinda iffy on Charlie’s Angels. Those gals were enough to give anyone a complex. I’m from the Philly area originally but missed all the celebrations since my hub and I were stationed in Germany!

1976 was a great year to be alive. Of course there were problems yet to be solved, and political divisions existed. But NOTHING like the environment of virulent hatred that flows so freely today.

I was 16 that year and remember all the hoopla, everything from jets to 18 wheelers were painted in red, white and blue 'Spirit of '76" colors. The queen of England came and celebrated with America. I watched the Tall Ships sail in NY harbor on a small B&W TV while working at a radio station as a DJ on July 4, 1976. It all made everyone so incredibly proud to be an American. I'd been an amateur student of politics and America History was my greatest subject in HS. If someone had told me that year that we are maybe this ONE election coming up in Nov '22 from going full on COMMUNIST I'd have first said NO way! and second I'd have been watching a lot closer. I've seen stuff starting to come unglued as close as in Texas in the lat 80's and early 90's. Now look whee we are. 1975-1982 were the best years of my life. They're stealing elections now and have been the last 14 years. I can't believe half this country HATES the nation of their birth but we hear and see evidence of it daily. I wish I could go back to these simpler times.

For the most part, these memories shared are coming from people who were children in the 70s and who are looking back fondly on the memories of childhood. It’s far easier to be hopeful when you’re a child or teen and far less easy to be a hopeful adult in any era as time wears you down and life slowly ebbs.....but we can be just as hopeful now as we were then, if we choose to be. If we remain childlike in the celebration, wonder, beauty, hope and awe of life - in all the days of our lives - we will continue to show how much we have to be thankful for. We celebrate today and tomorrow as we do the 1970s! Have a great day!

Farrah Fawcett was a huge deal. The only reason her death wasn’t bigger was Michael Jackson tragically died that very same day and news of his untimely death rocked the world took the whole globe by storm. She died earlier in the day then everyone everywhere was glued to their tv sets to mourn Michael Jackson and that took the news for weeks. People today really don’t know what a big deal she was and how much she influenced American style and culture..

We all had a good time with the Bicentennial but for me 76 marked the year I got my first full-time job, bussing tables at Kresge's for $2.10 an hour. My first major purchase was a quadrophonic system with an eight-track player. I remember the salesman telling me how quadrophonic was the wave of the future (even though I think by that time it had already petered out, but what do you know when you're 16). Sadly, the eight track player developed a nasty habit of eating tapes so I sold the system about a year later. Loved the Gong Show. As soon as it was mentioned my thoughts immediately went to Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, but you left out the Unknown Comic.
