BIONIC DISCO: 1970s TV
Adam-12. The Brady Bunch. Chico and the Man. Emergency! All in the Family. Maude. The Jeffersons. Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.

The list is extensive. From the depths of cheese to the heights of ground-breaking, taboo-smashing drama. It’s all present and accounted for in the 1970s. How did we get so much from so few channels and bad reception?

TV Time: Star Wars Extra Large Action! – ” ‘Kenner’s Star Wars Large Size Action Figures.’ If you got one of these steroid-injected action figures under the ol’ Xmas tree in ’79 you were a lucky lil’ bastard indeed.”

TV Time: Alpha Bits and Jackson Hits – “Today, we turn our gaze to 1973 and sing along with Micheal Jackson and the Jackson 5 as they extoll the virtues of a breakfast piled high with Post Alpha-Bits cereal.”

TV Time: Snap, Crackle, Partridge Family – “In the early 70s TV’s sensational singing siblings, The Partridge Family starred in a few Kellog’s Rice Krispies commercials.”

Forgotten TV: Holmes & YoYo – “Holmes & YoYo only ran for 13 measly episodes during the 1976-77 season, but it has really stuck in my mind. Something about a 427 pound robot cop with a heart of gold captured my fidgety nine-year-old imagination and never completely let go.”

TV Time: Big Wheel vs Green Machine – “Most everyone had a Big Wheel. The really cool kids had a Green Machine. The Green Machine was extra-fast and had multiple levers – so you knew it was for badasses only. Yeah. I had a Big Wheel.”

TV Time: Be a Pepper! – “Hey kids! It’s time for Bionic Disco’s ‘Ad of the Day’. Today, we’ve bottled up a good one – Dr. Pepper’s famed ‘Be a Pepper’ song & dance spot featuring actor David Naughton (who later went on to star in 1979′s Makin’ It TV series and American Werewolf in London).”

70s Soaps Canceled – ‘All My Children’, ‘One Life to Live’ – “Both of the canceled shows ran throughout the 1970s (not to mention the 80s, 90s, and 00s) and certainly seemed like they’d continue running on the ol’ goggle box for all eternity.”
