Funnily enough I agree I was a teenager in the sixties and in my twenties in the seventies.I never saw any of those shit TV shows,we were out on the street protesting,trying out new life styles,squatting,fighting the power and helping other people.I know we failed but it was not for want of trying.(except prog rock obnov. that was shit).Those people who complain about the casual racism and conformity weren't there,it was a great time.I've just realised why I missed most of this stuff. In the 70s I was down the pub most nights or I was listening to prog rock etc & doing 70s stylee recreational drugs. I never saw black&white minstrels or any of the other Saturday night top rated shows, I didn't stay in on a Saturday night for about 20yrs. In the 70s not even videos had been invented yet so if you missed it when it was on you never saw it.

Yes, we done ok, only stayed in if skint, In those days the pub was more like an extention of a living room, you didn't drink at home watching tv, you went to pub drank a pint & smoked a fag, played darts etc. I always watched Top of the Pops before I went out & Whistle Test if I was in, the Goodies & Python of course. Teens & 20somethings in the 70s were as about as likely to watch Benny Hill & Black&White minstrels as they were Songs of Praise.

Indeed, I first remember a car phone being used by Bill Bixby as crime solving illusionist The Magician in his very cool white StingrayWell ahead of its time. First show with a car phone, I think. Even if he did have call the 'mobile operator' to connect his calls.
